Because it fits the Kwesi sucks and I wanted the Vikings to draft a QB early agenda some have.

I agree. He had some nice throws but overall I wasn't that impressed.
I watched one play and it was a badly executed screen pass that he threw as he was getting drilled and delivered it pretty much on the money.. that impressed me.

Aaaaahhh...of course. I must be really tired to have missed that.
My bad, good catch on your part.
Based on his first couple of games he looks solid. Better than Bryce Young to my eyes. Obviously Levis is not as good as Kirk but yeah, I'd be happy if he was a Viking today. I liked him pre-draft as well. But I'm happy Addison is here too. Shrug.

You mean the desperation passes he had to make because they were down by 4 with no timeouts and could only throw the ball into the end zone. But yeah let's totally negate the fact he had instant pressure most plays, moved around in the pocket great, avoided pressure, made some impressive throws while on the run. Nice try though =)

Amazing how when other QBs have instant pressure it's "nothing he could do because of pressure". But when a certain QB had years of historically poor blocking by franchise standards, it's an excuse.
As an aside I found play calling for the second to last drive interesting. Either the OC is trash, or doesn't trust Levis in crunch time. 3:56 left down 4, the play selection was trick play run, run, draw, pass on 4th and 4. Gotta let that franchise QB cook.
Regardless, I'll wait more than two games to form a serious opinion, good or bad. Let alone invent back handed ways to knock the Vikes GM for not drafting the franchise QB some in this thread have annoinited him to be

I'd be curious to know the real reason as to why we were swayed away from Levis. It was reported by everyone that we were heavily looking at QB's in this draft and if I'm not mistaken had Levis in for a visit.
The ideal thing would have been to use that additiinal first round pick we acquired in the massive trade down with Detroit in the prior draft to take Levis in addition to Addison. Oooops nevermind...

Do tell, what tinfoil hate type theory do you have as to why they didn't take him? While you are at it, does that theory also apply to every other team that passed on him in the first 32 picks? Not like there aren't QB desperate teams or anything thrilled to over draft on QB. Ah yes the Detroit trade down. The lions really fleeced MN on that trade huh? They got a franchise WR much in how Levis is a franchise QB after two games..
