Williams is not the 2nd coming. Let's start with the fact that Lincoln Riley is not the "quarterback whisperer." Riley had some interesting schemes when he went to Oklahoma that worked. But he never taught the fundamentals of mechanics and leadership to any of his "award winning quarterbacks."
I'll reveal I am an Oklahoma alum, but set that aside. Baker Mayfield was "fully formed" when Riley arrived. Riley didn't take him under his wing. Kyler Murray was in the same quarterback room as Mayfield and benefited from film study and schematics but he was an original talent on his own. And Jalen Hurts? His time at Alabama gave him the fundamentals to lead an offense. All he needed to do was improve his passing skills.
We couldn't tell much about Williams in his freshman year because Riley was off interviewing with Southern Cal. We thought he was good, had good potential and we were looking at bright days ahead until Riley snuck out of town before the break of dawn.
I watched every Southern Cal game that was available both years Williams was at So Cal. I didn't see any development in discipline in utilizing the pocket or in developing complex timing routes. What I saw was a quarterback that either didn't see his "reads," didn't like them, or wasn't confident to deliver the ball in tight windows.
I saw a quarterback that was quick to pull the ball down and begin to scramble pell-mell without any rhyme or reason. The passing play suddenly became street ball where he was waving receivers open down the field or he was tucking and running instead of forcing the defense to defend against the pass.
The thought went through my head that "this kid is going to get eaten up in the NFL" without the discipline to stay in the drive concept on a fresh set of downs. Whether he started at his own 20 or his opponents' 40 yard line, Williams was erratic and undisciplined.
Without question he wasn't coached properly and I was not surprised to see the Trojans crater in 2023. Lincoln Riley, for all his bally-hoo, isn't a seasoned head coach.
Bob Stoops, the man he replaced, was the CEO of the Sooners. He only won 191 games against 48 losses. Riley will never coach that many Division I games. We should be glad he was exposed as a fraud in college football. Had he been hired to coach an NFL team he would be roadkill.
Every NFL team should be wary of Williams. He's a raw talent; the skills are there to develop but he definitely is a "project" to learn the pro game. I laughed my butt off when I heard he wanted a percentage of the Bears' ownership in his rookie contract. The kid has had too much money, too many slaps on the back and too many hours admiring himself in the mirror. Is he still teachable? Good question.
Exactly Caleb Williams has maturity issues i don't blame Ryan Poles maybe having second thoughts on picking him
I know Parkins and Spiegel love to cherry pick and twist statements to support the "We're drafting Caleb" narrative. I was wondering if they could speak to Ryan Poles' comments during his first interview at the combine, "We made really big strides due to that trade last year, and that opportunity. We're looking to capitalize on that again". I'm not suggesting I know what Poles will do, despite that quote. I'm just curious how Poles' words support what they know is true?
Daniels isn’t the best passer in this class and definitely isn’t better than Fields coming out of college lol
If Purdy was that great the niners would’ve picked him ….not last and it was Mahomes who aced that 4th Quarter. I do hope bears drink her koolaid and draft someone besides Caleb they don’t know QB development, ever.
Nothing but BS in this whole post. Very disappointing. Making up BS about a 22 year old kid to generate clicks with absolutely no analysis of the prospect. Worthless interview and worse host.
What is Stacey Dales doing working as an analyst for the NFL,
No reason to throw in the combine if you're expecting to go 1st overall. That's been a thing for a long time. It can only hurt you.
Reporter only brought up Bryce Young as the other to not throw but Joe Burrow didn't throw, neither did Matt Stafford or Andrew Luck.
Anthony Richardson threw in the combine because he needed to show himself off as he didn't have a lot of game experience. He wasn't regarded as the top player so he had to do what he could to show himself off to improve his draft position.
Caleb will bust in the men's league. Dude is a joke.
Comparing Brock Purdy to 1st overall pick? If he was a better prospect, SF would've gotten him before the 7th round.
Lamar Jackson has the most turnovers in the forth quarter , stop spreading lies
Caleb Williams is going to go down as one of the biggest draft busts in history. He shouldn’t be considered a bust though. Caleb time & time again has shown he isn’t mentally built for the inclusivity teams need in their QB to win a Super Bowl.
