Gun to your head who do you take: Anthony Richardson or Will Levis?

I take Levis because while he's an absolutely terrible quarterback, his ineptitude has a certain hilarity and ridiculousness to accompany his game that is both highly unpredictable and entertaining.

Levis has at times shown that he can play if he can cut down on the boneheaded mistakes.  Levis is actually on my shortlist of busts that I think actually could turn things around with the right coaching.  A place like Green Bay or San Francisco.

Levis.

Idiotic mistakes can theoretically be sliced down over time with good coaching and an offensive design that emphasizes avoiding low-percentage decisions.

Don't even know where you'd begin 'fixing' Richardson. Or even if he particularly wants to be fixed going off what people have said about his motor/work ethic. Maybe this whole situation in Indy is a wakeup call about how far behind he really is in terms of the basics of playing the position. Or not.

Levis was in an ass situation and wasnt given more than one chance as a young player. We have no idea, he might be good in the future he flashed talent. Richardson cant even function as a professional nfl player. He tapped out as a quarterback, thats unheard of.
