no the comp is far from accurate. mahomes is the most talented qb of all time and caleb is not that and never will be


He reminds scouts of Mahomes in college. That's a fair argument. You weren't calling Mahomes the most talented qb ever when he was at Tech. There's a lot of revisionist history with Mahomes.

Then what is the point of comparisons if we cant use players that play a similar style
Its like the Joe Burrow and Tom Brady comp when he was coming out of LSU. Nobody is saying Joe will be better, just that that play similar, have certain traits and similar measurables...


if its about style, he is closer to kyler murray and lamar jackson. the mahomes comp is artificial hype drummed up by the media.

Yet another year of a shitty Riley defense, who’s shocked?

Kingsbury is an analyst. Can coach in game. He’s collecting checks from Arizona and coaching Caleb a few days a week and living in LA. Got it made.

USC doesn't look close to a team that can compete in the B1G. The only reason they sniff playoff talk this season is media bias

In what world? The trenches are just not in the traditional recruiting base and Riley forgets that defense is played.

Nobody is saying he’s more talented. Everyone is just saying that the playing styles are extremely similar, which they are.

Just what USC needed. More offense.

SoCal isn’t Alabama, where the overwhelming number of residents are natives. The majority of people that live in SoCal and the Bay
Area grew-up in other parts of the country. There are a lot of sports bars in California that cater to transplants, especially from the Midwest. Same with NYC.

now you're just being disingenuous.

You know good and well that nobody is comparing him to the college version of Mahomes, but the current version in KC.

I don't see either one of those guys game in his. Obviously they all three can scramble and make plays but those are not guys I think of when I watch Williams play

what about their styles is 'extremely similar'? he does not throw it as well as mahomes nor as flashly. he is not as good in the pocket. mahomes is not as great an athlete as caleb. so go ahead and tell us what's so extremely similar.

Mahomes was a gifted qb at Tech, but in a crappy offense and overall team. Can't imagine what our seasons would have been like without him. Now that he has the tools around him, he is incredible.
This guy is not like Mahomes at all. He has all the tools in college and is good, but not great, Heisman and all. He reminds me of a poor man's Tua. And that may be being too generous. I like the San Jose qb better, honestly. Reminds me of Vince Young a little.

As long as Riley continues to field defenses like this he will never win a title. It's pathetic man how many years has it been the same story?
