Tennessee Titans rookie Will Levis made his NFL debut Sunday afternoon, instantly impacting the workforce of their 28-23 win over the Atlanta Falcons. Levis accomplished 65 % of his passes, threw 4 touchdowns for 238 yards and 0 interceptions. It was an awesome displaying by the rookie quarterback out of Kentucky, so right here’s your warning for what’s about to occur Monday:. The hype train for Levis ought to be off the rails by tomorrow morning on sports activities discuss exhibits nationwide.
Nothing in opposition to Levis, who will doubtless have a wonderful profession, however this units up some jabroni on First Take (most likely Mad Dog Chris Russo) with the alternative to go overboard predicting and pontificating about the Titans QB. It by no means fails on this period the place every part must be instantaneous.
Everyone desires to be the first to say, “I had this guy being great before he was truly great,” or one thing to that impact. Be completely satisfied he isn’t enjoying for one among the extra established franchises, particularly the Dallas Cowboys. If Levis had executed this filling in for Dak Prescott, they’d be making ready his jacket for the Hall of Fame after one sport.
This doesn’t imply Levis gained’t be nice, and it has nothing to do with him personally. It’s extra about the place we’re in society and as a sports activities tradition on a continuing hunt to crown a brand new king. If Levis has a pair extra huge video games like Sunday’s in opposition to the Falcons, somebody will examine him to Patrick Mahomes. Just wait, it’ll occur. Maybe Levis can be that good. But nobody has time to let him play even a handful of video games, not to mention a whole season, earlier than predicting his profession.
Hopefully, we will get one other Russo retirement “pledge” based mostly on what Levis does in the subsequent couple of video games. While it’s uncertain Mad Dog retains his phrase, we will solely hope. With Ryan Tannehill doubtless lacking extra video games with an ankle damage, we’ll discover out quickly how a lot potential this child actually has.
