In the 2023 NFL Draft, four quarterbacks in particular were believed to be stars on the professional level: Bryce Young (Carolina Panthers), CJ Stroud (Houston Texans), Anthony Richardson (Indianapolis Colts) and Will Levis, who the Tennessee Titans ultimately drafted.
A year later, it seems as though only two of those four have a bright future in the NFL, with Young recently getting benched after two disappointing starts to begin the 2024 NFL season and Levis looking like a big mistake for the Titans.
Despite having a talented group of players to throw to in the receiving corps, headlined by Calvin Ridley and DeAndre Hopkins, Levis hasn’t been able to lead this team to wins, as Tennessee has now lost three games in a row to start the season.
In Week 3 against the Green Bay Packers, Levis couldn’t even outplay backup Malik Willis, who has taken over for injured star quarterback Jordan Love.
Willis led the Packers to a win over the Titans, throwing for 202 yards and a touchdown while also rushing for 73 yards and a touchdown.
On the other hand, Levis finished with 260 yards, two touchdowns and two costly interceptions, which has sparked quite a reaction on social media about what the Titans should do with the second-year quarterback.

Here are some reactions to another poor performance by Levis as the starting quarterback of the Titans:

Titans might be the worst franchise in NFL right now. Enjoy the Will Levis experience.

So you telling me Will Levis is an NFL starting quarterback but Bryce Young isn’t?

Losing the season’s first three games is not ideal for a young quarterback that the team brought in to replace veteran Ryan Tannehill, but it might be a bit early to call for his benching.
Outside of Week 1 against a young Chicago Bears team, the Titans have had a tough schedule playing the New York Jets and Packers in consecutive weeks.
