I’ve seen plenty of Caleb Williams over the years and his style is not NFL caliber. He can’t read defenses. He runs around and waits for a busted coverage.


That kind of is the NFL style now though

There’s not a lot of Brady’s, Mannings etc left that are going through all their progression and controlling the pre snap calls. Just like in college, teams are lowering the margins and making the reads more simple and defined and often the 3rd or 4th option built into the play is the “scramble and go make a play”

I want to be clear that I am not saying he will be mahommes, idk if he will even be good, but mahommes has that same kind of play style, so obviously it has shown it can work. Josh Allen has this exact play style and he’s turned into one of the best QBs in the league. Again doesn’t mean he will do the same, but I would recommend breaking out of your assumptions about NFL offenses and how they operate in the current era.

I tried to tell the Rant this in 2022 when they were saying JD wouldn't be drafted because he didn't go through 4-5 progressions in the pocket. Pretty much nobody does that anymore because there isn't enough time on the vast majority of passing plays.

The biggest change is that in the NFL, you're going to have few defenders you can exploit specifically like in college and they disguise everything better. So that first/second read is infinitely more difficult and the windows to make throws are smaller.

Does not scramble unless he has to. Top 5 Elite arm talent of ALL TIME

Josh Allen


Is built like Thor, runs over AND THROUGH people, and has a rocket launcher attached to his shoulder.

I'm not saying he can't be successful, but he's closer to Kyler Murray than he is to those guys
