I don't think anyone under the age of 30 should be exposed to any part of CP. Once you've hit total emotional maturity (or at least the age you should've hit it by) then they can make their own horrible decision to spend precious time in this cesspool. [Reply]
I've reached out to a couple of my Bears fan friends for their thoughts on this. Both are trying to put on a brave face. I mean, what else can they do at this point? Decades of QB futility, passing on Mahomes for Trubisky, another wasted first round pick on the broken and departed Fields, and now here comes this freakshow. One of them said that if he wins, it'll all be okay. Chicago did embrace Rodman, after all. I've just got a bad feeling that this clown will end up being the Malibu Barbie version of Johnny Manziel. Nobody will embrace that.
The good news? We now know what it takes to make Joe Burrow look normal. [Reply]

That speaks more loudly than any of this stuff that people seem really keen to judge him on.
Ultimately, this is what matters.
If I were a GM, I'd probably take more note of his alleged comments about wanting part ownership of the franchise that drafted him than the goofball shit he wears and dresses up with for reactions on the socials.
They'll know real quickly how much respect the team has for him, regardless. [Reply]
I think Caleb Williams definately has eye brow raising character concerns. If he wasn't a QB I could care less but this guy is going to be the face of your franchise. I'm not buying especially when the gap between him and other players is not a wide margin. Some say there is no margin.

I have no issue with this. They are just rebeling, finding their own way/thoughts different from their parents. I get that.
When I was in elementary school my classmates were listening to Bobby Goldsboro, the Carpenters etc. I was listening to Alice Cooper, Led Zepplin and Black Sabbath. They thought I was the devil incarnate. Just listening to different music got you the mark of the beast. Wearing pink or painting your nails doesn't merit the mark of the beast either. [Reply]

It was Jim fucking Miller, people.
When you're THAT franchise, I'll take the player who can throw the ball the best.
He might throw the ball best, and he does IMO, but it's the question of being the best leader on his team, the best at processing the field, and the best at studying the playbook.
The most complete package in this draft IMO is Bo Nix and it's going to suck a bit if Sean Payton gets him in Denver. [Reply]

What evidence do you have that Bo Nix is better at those things than Williams?
Again, I know it seems like I'm related to Caleb Williams in this thread, but from a purely football perspective, I fail to see why Trevor Lawrence was can't miss next Andrew Luck omgwtfbbq and Caleb Williams is the rocket-armed Jay Cutler who likes getting his nails done.
We're not in on the team interviews nor are we able to hear the truth from Caleb's college teammates and coaches about how he is as a leader. We know as much about him as we did with Lawrence.
And that's what matters. Bo Nix is not going #1 overall. I don't know what to tell you there. [Reply]
You realize you have a sample size of two, right? Bryce Young was drafted last year. We cannot determine much about him at this point.
Do you have proof that they struggle to throw over the middle because they can’t see?
Lol if you want to cape for Young then go ahead buddy. But THE FACTS thus far we have seen Baker, Kyler and Young all get picked number one and ALL fail to live up to the hype.
The throwing over the middle struggles are a common trend amongst short QB's and further explained in an article on the ringer called "Bryce Young and the short QB dilemma". Check it out, you might learn something :-) [Reply]

Dan Marino scored like a 14 on the Wonderlic and Brett Favre was obviously a total dumbass. The only positive note about Tom Brady coming into the league was that he had a plus arm.
Height, like intelligence, or arm strength is just one piece of what goes into making a good NFL QB.
Drew Brees was a second round pick and was a bust with the Chargers before Payton saved him. And Caleb plays nothing like him so what's your point? [Reply]
