Damn y'all are some casuals. USC defense is terrible, like LSU v Ole Miss terrible. Yes he had a bad game but he's the only reason USC is relevant.

It would be Penix or JD5 if I was making the choice.

have played 11 CFB seasons between themselves

they should be better than everyone


They've played against guys who are already on their 2nd contract in the NFL.

Yo Jackass, I was probably the only LSU fan that was saying Burrow was going to be an NFL level QB during his Jr Year. So you bringing him up to me and acting like it’s relevant to this Caleb argument is absurd.

Again, my Caleb evaluation has nothing to do with last night. It’s the full body of work. Last night was simply a culmination of things that have been building with him for a long time.

Watch the games, baw. I don’t need to be lectured about who is a good QB and who isn’t. It’s always been pretty obvious to me.

Shedeur and Penix are 100% better prospects than Caleb. And Jayden Daniels is a better prospect than Caleb in a few different ways. Those 2 might be about even with all things considered.

Team’s thinking drafting Caleb is going to save them are sorely mistaken. If he goes to the wrong team/coach, he will be out of the league with swiftness.

Williams is an emotional attention whore who is self absorbed and highly talented. Watching his antics on the sidelines last night showed he is a me first guy.

Sanders loves his attention but seems less emotional.

What are other specific things in his body of work that you have seen & don’t like

Williams down 2 TDs in the 3rd. He's so awesome

He had no passing TDs the entire game. Dude is a fraud.

I just saw this, but it’s been quite obvious for a long time that he has an extremely limited ability to read a defense.

Intangibles matter as well. I have him marked in my notebook as having a bottom 25% ile intangible grade when comparing him to the last 250 starting QB’s in the NFL. He’s essentially bigger Kyler Murray in a ton of ways and it’s hardly a guarantee that he will be as good of an NFL QB as Kyler Murray.

He has too many weaknesses and red flags to go #1. He’s a 2nd or 3rd rd prospect if people evaluate everything about him. Arm talent and movement is top tier, but it takes a lot more than that to be a franchise QB.

Ding ding ding!

No better example of this overblown “out of structure/off platform” bullshite than the Zach Wilson pro day. You couldn’t go on any sports media website or forum without seeing the clip of him rolling out and throwing across his body 60 yards or whatever, a throw that he would never be called upon to make in a real game.

I think he's a really good prospect, but him wanting part ownership of the team that drafts him just makes me detest the guy. He isn't Payton manning or Andrew luck coming out of college.

Let’s be real. He isn’t even Burrow or T Law Coming out of college. Dude really has an inflated view of himself if that is a real ask from him.

That’s like Tom Brady level perks and I’m not certain that he ever even got that.

Dude’s out here asking for what Messi got to go to Inter Miami.
