Re: Caleb Williams News and Rumor thread

Question for everyone. I've watched all the clips everyone has posted here as well as many other across the web. Did he take a single snap under center while in college? I don't think that's a huge issue but it could be. I saw a stat a while ago. It was something absurd like a dozen, maybe less. An...

I think they're liklier to go QB than WR honestly.

Feeling pretty good about 4 QBs going before 9 honestly.

Re: Is It Too Soon For Thoughts On Pick #9?

I don't either. I value tape over all by a wide margin. My only inclination here is if there's something that reflects on their character, which is one of the hardest things for teams to project on their draftees and one of the biggest unsung elements of a players eventual success or failure in the...

Re: Bears trade 4th rd pick to Chargers for WR Keenan Allen

Allen turned down a pay cut. He turned down a multi-year extension with the Chargers; it is thought that this is because he didn't like the salary level he would had under it. So it is possible that he would accept an extension but is looking for more than the Bears will be willing to pay. Never kn...

I think history's going to forget Phillip Rivers pretty quickly, but it shouldnt! He was great, a total weirdo off the field, and kind of weird on the field.

Ah my friend you are thinking of the late Gaines Adams. Jerry Angelo traded for him, dude played 10 games for us (0 starts) and then died.

That might be an all-time whiff on a trade acquisition, no?

A bunch of old cooters like Gabriel and drunks like Lucas have lobbed thinly veiled character concerns on Caleb, but yea, outwardly speaking, no alarm bells ring. Of course you can only tell so much from interviews and stuff, but confidence/arrogance alone shouldn't be red flags.

I do think it's fair to set expectations accordingly, and that's not some "I'm bitter about Fields so I'm gonna be hard on the new kid" thought. CW is supposed to be a better prospect than CJ Stroud, and he's walking into a vastly superior setup than Stroud had. So I pretty much have Stro...

Re: Is It Too Soon For Thoughts On Pick #9?

MHJ could drop from this, but it's going to be very team dependent. I doubt 5 straight teams will all fall under the same mindset on this. But one or two could. Or NE/ARI don't care at all and he drops not at all.
