Caleb Williams legitimately is stumbling bad down the stretch. Bad losses to rivals Notre Dame and now UCLA in what is likely his final college game.

What’s everyone think? Is he “Generational”, a Top-3 QB prospect, or the next Johnny Manziel?

    Guy had 384 passing yards and a 153 rating. What the fuck are you expecting out of this kid… How in the world is that “stumbling bad”? USC’s defence is complete ass and has been all year. Anyone with half a brain knows this.

    Holy moly.

    He just threw for 384 and 1:1 against a top 10 defense, with a subpar supporting cast. Today was a solid-very good game for him.

      Sports radio is absolutely ripping Caleb apart from yesterday, on multiple shows and channels so it’s not that outrageous…

    Come on go guys give OP a break, he said in the title that he’s no expert.

    But seriously OP, do you actually watch college football? This post has a real, “I only heard of this guy a few months ago because of the bears QB situation” feel to it.

    Football is very much a team sport, and you’re focused on one 22yo guy on a spectrum of Generational QB or manziel. The answer is we’ll see what happens and he’s likely somewhere in between.

    I’m much more concerned with the Bears front office, coaching staff, establishing a consistent offensive scheme, and building the trenches. Doesn’t matter who’s at QB when they’re getting sacked 6-9 times a game.

    Lol they were never going to move on from Fields. If they land 1st, they’ll probably trade back again

      Hilarious thought. Imagine being the GM and putting your job further on the line with the same QB who’s been hurt and cannot develop over and over again.

          GM chose failure coach and stuck with failure QB. Next chance to turn it around would be a new coach he chooses AND a new QB. Not a new coach with the same failure QB. That would be firing himself duh

    I don’t watch college football so I don’t know the answer to this but why isn’t Bo Nix considered a top prospect?

    Just read an article saying they expect him to be drafted in the second round. Is he just putting up empty stats against bad defenses or something?

    His completion percentage and TD/int are really good but obviously without watching any of the games I don’t have any context for his numbers.

      Nix is a bit limited as a prospect. Also his arm is ok but not amazing. I’d say he’s a late first rounder but is kinda missing the big upside

    I always hear ‘experts say’…I want to know who these ‘experts’ are. I want names. These idiots don’t know anything. Quarterbacks are the biggest fucking crapshoot that there is in professional sports.

    Does it matter?

    Drafting him with this coaching staff would be like having the fastest, best handling, most perfectly tuned race car in the world and letting a blind/deaf/mute person with one hand drive it…

      That coaching change (idk if it even happens but I suppose it will) will be such a big factor in our future success but it’s pretty much impossible to really project who it will be
