It won’t happen, but if the Steelers are ever dumb enough to let him go, we need to bring him “home” at warp speed.

I think teams would fire their HCs for a chance to hire Tomlin. The consistency is unheard of. Players love to play for himself and he’s highly respected. And he’s still pretty young for a HC (51 years old).

Keanu Neal just ended his own teammate’s season career.

I'd like some run plays like Pittsburgh is running.

Carolina should have picked Levis instead of Young. And they wouldn't have had to make trades to move up to select him.

So should the Titans be tanking or not? I'm a little fuzzy about the rules.

Tomlin has never had a losing season in 17 NFL seasons, and has his team at a respectable 5-3 despite being saddled with one of the worst offenses in the league.

Steelers fans are spoiled brats. And even if the fans are getting tired of him, I doubt the Steelers braintrust is getting tired of being consistently competitive.

I wouldn't. The more you stack wins and confidence with Levis, the quicker you turn around your squad to win your division.

And possibly the worst starting cbs in the league. Fitzpatrick is covering up so much bad secondary play.

It’s crazy they have the record they do when you look at the in game stats of them vs their opponents. I don’t think they’ve had a game they’ve had more yards than their opponent, and only the Broncos have been outgained by more this season.

They can't fall behind too much in finding their QB. Jacksonville has a top 5 QB, Houston has found a guy with tremendous promise who looks like he's going to speed up their rebuild and while Indy still may not know what they have in Richardson, he has a lot of untapped talent and they've committed to building a successful system around him.


Tennessee needs to find their guy. Levis had a promising debut but this is the NFL and you'll be humbled quickly.

And why can't Will Levis be that guy?

He is a second round rookie with less than 70 career passing attempts. A guy with a huge arm who in those less than 70 career NFL attempts who has thrown for 500 yards, 4 TDs and 1 pick in less than 8 quarters of football.

Let's let a guy get a few reps before we write him off completely.

I agree with you that his division has a ton of young QB talent. And he's part of that young and talented group, though as you say humility comes quick and we will see what happens.

I agree. After year one Trevor looked like middling QB at best. Now @Bootz says he is a top 5 QB.

He absolutely can be that guy. Which is why Tennessee doesn't need to tank and needs to do everything to figure out if he can be that guy.

Not sure what you missed here, but I completely agreed with you.

The knock on Levis coming out was he has no feel for pressure and made too many bad plays/forced balls into coverage. Inconsistent field vision and anticipation with his throws.

He looks really promising right now, but he wouldn't be the first QB to look promising in his first few games before teams got good film on him.

Outside of that crazy Winston-Esque backward WTF throw/fumble, he looks pretty good.

I liked what I saw. Would have liked to have drafted him…but hey, we got Baker Mayfield. When you have a superstar like that, why go after a qb?

Dolphins vs Chiefs at 9:30am is a real treat. Arguably the best matchup of the season to this point.

MIA strength of victory is second worst in NFL. When they play a team with a pulse, they get beat by two scores+. Whatever the spread is, Chiefs cover easily.

The top 2 teams in the AFC so I get it. But they have to take the Dolphins SOV into consideration. 5 straight losses against teams over .500.

This has been Hill's worst game as a Dolphin. Dropped a pass that would've been a TD and now this fumbled that gets returned for a TD.
