    I don't know, and I won't pretend I do. All I know is in the last 2 games ....just because of throws....We left 14 points last week on the field because of bad throws, and 21 this week because of bad throws.

    Levis has a good arm, but he doesn't look very mobile

    That's if you buy blame him for Johnson dropping a good, but not perfect, throw to open the game against the Jags.

    If you say so. I'm not sure, but where are you getting 21 points last night. I've been a tough on his performance as anybody, but I don't see it. The poor throw to Pickens that ended the second drive last night would not have been a touchdown. We don't know what would have happened on that drive. He missed on what should have been an 81-yard touchdown to Austin. After the miss to Robinson in the end zone, they kicked a field goal. That is 11 points. It was Pickens who cost them a touchdown in the second half, not Pickett. Where do you get the rest of the points?

    I missed saying Pickens bad on one of them. One bad throws to Austin is a td if throw correctly, 7....Bad pass to Robinson...another 7....Pickens not using 2 feet....7.....there is another, but I see on My paper I didn't write the time down, but I Have 4 missed tds., and 3 on bad throws for last night written down. When I watch again I will update. I watch every game about 3 times, and again when all 22 comes out.

    I don't think there was a third bad throw that cost them a touchdown. Maybe they drive for a score after the early miss to Pickens, but you can't assume it. The other bad miss was on the opening drive, so that didn't cost them points. The miss to Robinson cost them four, not seven. They got a field goal on the next play.

    Levis is extremely mobile. He's a great athlete and can do a lot things very well athletically.

    Well, I'm just going on what I saw from him yesterday. That was the only time I've seen him play, so admittedly a small sample size. Looks like he gets a lot of zip on the ball pretty effortlessly though, I was impressed by that

    I watched him play a few years at Penn State. He was the backup quarterback. He would come into the game when the starter was injured and when the team had a big lead. He is a very athletic, big, powerful guy with a huge arm. Physically, he is everything you want in a quarterback. They even had packages for him where he was utilized as a runner and a play maker.

    He then transferred to Kentucky and became one of the best quarterbacks in the country.

    Being that he didn't come back into the game the previous Sunday, and then played on 4 days later, I can't imagine that he was close to 100% with the ribs.

    But, he needs to start to figure it out, this team will only go as far as QB can take it, and they way the QB play is for 45 of the 15 minutes it won't take us really far.

    Well you are counting the 3 points.... in which You are correct. I'm just looking at missed TDs. I went , and watched again. 2 missed Tds because of bad throws. One missed td because of Pickens not getting 2 feet in, and two made tds. We could have had 5 tds last night. All I'm getting at is in the last two games we could have really really scored quite a bit.

    You are right about the larger point. I was just saying that your numbers were not accurate and, after looking again, you see that i was correct. They should have been up, 21-13, at the half instead of trailing by three. That was all on Pickett.

    Just think of what We could actually be doing if they all executed correctly. The biggest bright spot is KFP is actually seeing most of them now. Of course He's missing a few with not seeing them, but all Qbs do that. Now if He can start hitting them....this team maybe better than most think. I get a little bit more excited for the offense each game
