Will Levis

[Coach34]

Same guy that threw 3 INTs in our game ln 2021 and Emerson was out like after the 3rd play?

Yeah- the same guy that won 9 games for them this year

What is their best win?

What is their best win?

WTF?

Would Kentucky be better in 2022 with a brand new QB or having Levis back for a 2nd year with him being SEC experienced? What do you guys not understand about that?

[Captain Falcon]

He?s not great but he is better than Terry Wilson or the no QB offense they were running with Bowden. They typically run it well and play good defense, he is a good enough for them to win a lot of games in the East.

Now they likely will need a difference maker at QB to ever make it to Atlanta, and I don?t view him as that.

I agree it's better to have him back than not have him, but I'm just not making a big deal in their 9 wins that you talked about. Levis, this year, just didn't show me a whole lot. Maybe next year he gets better but I've never heard Stoops and QB developer ever mentioned in the same sentence. They may prove me wrong, but the running game and defense seems to be the bread and butter.

Considering Stoops was a defensive coach coach his whole career prior to UK, it seems logical that you wouldn't hear him mentioned for developing QBs.

That's right. Doesn't make him a bad coach at all(I like Stoops). Just makes me wonder how much Levis will improve next year. Coach was saying he led them to 9 wins, which is true. I'm sure he's the best option on the team and they are glad to have him back, but the running game, defense, and good schedule contributed to 9 wins a bit more than Levis. I hope he's the same as this year, because it's going to be tough up there next year.

I agree. He fits their offense. Gonna be tough at their place next year.

[BuckyIsAB****]

Starting QB is the most important position on the field.

I disagree

[Leroy Jenkins]

I disagree

Not only is it the most important position on the field, it is the most important position in team sports. And don't say "But Trent Dilfer won a Super Bowl", that is an outlier.

Exactly. I would much rather face Kentucky with a new QB, than face Kentucky with a very capable and experienced QB.

[PGHBulldogBG]

Mark Stoops has done more with less than any coach in the SEC over the past few years. Now he has a big recruiting class coming in so it will be interesting to see his results in a few years with more raw talent

I don't know what UK is this year. They won 9 games but didn't beat a team with a winning record.

Yep, and it's not even close.

[Bdawg]

I disagree

Explain please. Because I think almost all would disagree with you.

It's the trenches.

Look no further than the NY Giants vs Tom Brady. Why does an average QB like Eli Manning- Who only made the playoffs 6 times in 16 seasons as a QB- have 2 SB wins over one of the greatest QB's to ever play pro football? Because the NYG D-line dominated both games. They took down the greatest NFL team of all-time because they were better in the trenches- especially their DL vs the Patriot OL.

We had a better QB than Bama in 2014. They were better in the trenches. They won.

I can give a thousand more examples. Football is still a trench game.

I agree coach. But that’s not one position. The offensive line is 5 positions. The defensive front is several positions. Is there any ONE position more important than QB? If we are taking just one spot out of 22, I would go with QB.

[MoreCowbell]

QB is absolutely the most important position. Kind of stunned this is an argument.

That's a position group. I agree that the trenches is the most important group for wins and losses. But you are probably not going to win a lot without an above average qb.

I will say football is the ultimate team game, imo. Hard to win a lot without a good line and a good qb.

[Coach34]

Well, Ohio State had the QB and WR’s. Michigan has the trenches.

Michigan is in the playoff.
