Will Levis shoulder surgery and out for the year
- Thread starter Sheriff Coffee
- Start date
Will he still be able to hold the clipboard after surgery?

This came out yesterday. No one cares.
And I don't mean that as a criticism of your post.
Just that it's clear he is not an NFL starter and this news just went on and by.
Just shows you guys that are paid huge salaries to evaluate talent still screw it up. The dude couldn't beat out Sean Clifford but somehow is going to be a good starting QB in the NFL. What a joke.
What about all the PSU fans who wanted him to start ? The guy was a TE who had a cannon of an arm. Couldn’t throw a simple out pattern or fit a ball into a pocket over the LB but in front of the DB in 2 deep zone.
I'm not saying that Levis should have started ahead of Clifford but I think you're being too critical. The guy started two years for a D1 team, was drafted in the second round, and he became a starter for the Titans.
Clifford wasn't drafted until the 5th round and he's completed a total of 1 NFL pass. I'm not even sure if he'll be on an NFL roster this fall.

Levis is exactly who anybody who said "he should be behind Clifford" thought he was. I never faulted him for leaving and it honestly worked out excellent for all parties involved.
The reality is, the Titans have moved on by drafting Cam Ward. Perhaps this shoulder surgery is a smoke screen by Levis' agents and medical staff. Whether he started day 1 or not, the pressure to play Ward is on.
GMs clearly thought he was much better than he was/is. Looking back to his PSU days could have given them some insight.
That 2019 OSU game was ridiculous. He comes in and is essentially a fullback. Wouldn't that have been something these GMs would have at least contemplated. They thought he was way better than he actually is.
Tennessee's first mistake upon acquiring Levis: letting Henry sign with the Ravens.
If you were going to make him your QB1, anybody who watched him should have known that the Kentucky offense was perfect for him. Slow tempo, grind it out running game, play action to keep you honest and enough deep shots that if your WRs can win, you will forget that Levis is a turnover prone player who struggled reading defenses (not meant as a slight, it's a RARE skill). Levis' mobility was a huge plus, but he is more battering ram than elusive.
Considering Clifford stayed for an extra year, Levis DEFINITELY made the right choice to leave.
Agree. They’re Definitely too critical. —Levis, in the NFL, has thrown for 3800+ yards and 20+ TDs , so he is clearly a serviceable short term back up…..who looks like a LB ( and Joe would have made him one
)—-Unfortunately ,Surgery will likely accelerate his departure from the NFL… But you never know
