He is a very good QB but definitely not anything like Mahomes like people keep comparing him to.

The Utah Utes have full ownership over Caleb Williams.

Its the comparison to Patrick mahomes why he's considered generational.

It’s a stupid, unwarranted comparison.

I dislike his attitude as well, but that would have any NFL gm salivating

Any nfl gm dumb enough to salivate over media talking points shouldn’t be an nfl gm.

His defense/special teams gave him 14 points and he still couldn’t even beat a walk-on QB at home.

Mitch Trubisky was picked before Mahomes, and 9 teams passed on him.

Evaluating QBs are the hardest things in sports.

Certainly there is more to it than saying a QB is overrated and when his team happens to lose.

The whole Tiger Rant was convinced Garrett Nussmeier was better than Jayden Daniels.

I guess my message is don’t be so reactionary & emotional over 1 game, or a loss, or him triggering you because he is yelling on the sidelines.

But it's not just one loss. Someone posted his stats against top 25 teams on the previous page and it's clear that he runs up numbers on bad teams. He's pretty average when playing better competition.

He’s exactly like Mahomes was as a prospect according to the consensus on this board at least. Instead of another Riley QB to flop he was from Texas Tech and their QBs never do anything, he racks up stats on bad defenses, lost big games blah blah blah.

Whatever fuels your confirmation bias is what you should go with

To be fair, the offense came back and got the lead.


I am almost certain after that big punt return (so really special teams play), Whittingham decided if they get close to scoring, go ahead and let them do it quickly, so his team would have plenty of time to tie or win it with a FG. It was a ballsy decision, but given the defense they put in on that TD run, it is almost certainly the case.
