    dude, i really, really don’t have the time to read and respond to this over a college football player on a chicago bears forum. i’m just gonna give you a super shortened response of what i skimmed from your post:

    -rumors float around about TONS of elite prospects about them staying in college each year. the same shit happened with stroud if you want another example. i get why caleb wouldn’t want to publicly go against what his dad said, you don’t let business get in the way of family. at the end of the day, it makes zero fucking sense to stay in college, even in the NIL era, so it’s all pointless anyway.

    -do you know who mike florio even is? lmao. why the FUCK should anyone believe anything he says that’s not backed by anyone else?

    -dude, caleb just turned 22. i’m only 24 and i’ll admit i’m a way different person now than when i was at 21 just a few years ago and just turned old enough to drink. in hindsight, i was clearly just a young dumb girl back then. and i’ll probably feel the same way about myself now when i’m 28 or whatever. a 21 year old is very much a kid to me, so yeah, i don’t have an issue with him getting emotional sometimes. and even if he still cries with his mom when he’s 30, if he can actually put up good passing numbers and become our franchise quarterback, i wouldn’t give a shit. cry your eyes out, caleb.

    anyway, this shit is ridiculous, i’m logging out and going to bed. peace.

      “Dude, I really, really don’t have time…” followed by several paragraph response. Smh, obviously you do have time.

      First you came at me about Williams, so that’s on you. I posted my opinion and you came in all high and mighty like you know so much about this guy… and well it’s just your opinion too.

      Agreed it doesn’t make sense to stay in college, but it doesn’t negate the fact that his own father said this, and to your point does he go against family? What if his dad has a large influence on him over other issues, agents, sponsors, contracts, dad says he needs to traded etc. if his dad is vocal now with demands and statements you don’t thing it’s going to be an issue? Flag.

      I absolutely know who Florio is, he’s paid journalist for NBC. What’s his ratio of false vs true in reporting? Are you suggesting 80% of what he reports is false? 70% 50%? Do you have any proof he erroneously reports or is this just your overall opinion? By the way, it’s been reported by several other people that it was a request not only by Williams but by Rodgers as well. Not just by florio but if your basis of your argument is strictly the credibility of Florio, I’ll take his word over a 24 year old keyboard warrior

      And that’s where you’re so insanely off. He 22 now, turned 22 in November so his first few games of the nfl season he’ll be 22. Meaning his first few losses in the nfl, you’re completely fine with him blowing off media, teammates, fans, and just crying with his mom in the stands? Name on other athlete in the world that has been under 10x the amount of pressure as him and did something similar? Lebron James, at 18 years old, known across the world prior to getting drafted lost his first nba game. Totally fine if after the game he ignored his team and said “I want to be alone with my dog and watch shows?”

      Yes, 22 year olds are immature, but a 22 year old about to make $40m and become the face of the franchise have to, HAVE to be mentally built diff.

      I can’t wait to see what happens to this guy. He has elite physical tools but going to a bad nfl team and not being successful, does he have the mental fortitude? I don’t think he does
