Re: Caleb Williams News and Rumor thread
I think many of us - me included - are predisposed to either loving or loathing Caleb. I personally have yet to read into anything he’s said that indicates he thinks he has nothing to learn - that he’s “already arrived.” Being confident and having lofty goals is what I want in a QB. Players like Rya...

Agreed - teams generally don’t settle for the QB they don’t have ranked as the #1 prospect in order to load up on picks. As for Fields’ physical prowess, it led to…nothing. His amazing athleticism and power was more than balanced by his remarkable lack of productivity as a passer. I still say we cou...

Re: Caleb Williams News and Rumor thread
Imo, Justin Fields’ lack of development as a passer made trading back for yet another “haul” unlikely. A struggling 4th year QB with a 5th year option decision looming likely made acquiring a quality oc problematic and set the stage for the kind of QB uncertainty now facing Minnesota and Las Vegas. ...

Williams extreme confidence can go either way imo.

On the positive - there’s Aar...

The Texans and Packers can use more talent on offense, yet their QBs were far superior passers in 2023 than Justin Fiel...
