This site is no longer fun. It's like the corporation I retired from. Everything changes because of a squeak.

I believe the whole point of the conversation is that Caleb needs to grow up. If anyone disagrees with that, they are wrong. The same was said about Mitch and Justin. While the skills may differ, the growth potential remains the wish. All three, at this point in their careers, had hope, upside and time on their side. You'll never win this argument with anyone overly supporting one opinion over the other. Some mindsets love to learn and converse with others, while others don't. Caleb is Uber talented and currently flawed. It's not for dispute. The degree to which this is correct can be argued ad nauseum.

This is supposedly from Jimmy Mac. I don't trust a lot these days. https://redzone.feji.io/blog/bears-legend-qb-jim-mcmahon-criticizes-caleb-williams-over-critical-weaknesses-behind-chicagos-humiliating-loss-to-ravens-mi4?fbclid=IwdGRzaANvo-FjbGNrA2-jbWV4dG4DYWVtAjExAAEeyTIo_l_wfW1j69e6EFBKhTUts-3D9OG-6vfPXcepEcnHPROXcxzNeQkRqVo_aem_3grBtUV07vhrJ5KZZHxjlA#mhcrolr9as5lkb8mvwc

Me too and believe it will. I don't want to see the Chernobyl event if it doesn't happen.

Funny thing was, I understood completely...🤣

I believe Caleb is going to make it. He's been given weapons, OL and coaching that the other two didn't. It's up to him...

This is the exact conversation we all had about Mitchell and Justin at this point in their careers. We could see the flashes and hoped for the consistency. Accuracy, footwork and timing. Timing being the most important thing for any QB transitioning from college to pro. Here we are praying another one makes it.

Regarding the draft. It sucked that a LT didn't fall to us in the first. After that, I believe they switched to the strategy of next year. Drafting Loveland and Burden, uogrades Kmet and DJ while getting younger and cheaper. We've discussed difference makers before. I was higher on Warren, but can see why the choose Loveland, due to his length and speed. Burden is a bigger faster DJ. All said, if we can't rush the passer, all is moot...

I don't buy Ben Johnson today. It's nothing but damage control to keep the wolves at bay. I like that he knows that keeping things in a positive light is best for all concerned. I'm on board...

He should and probably will, but I won't hold my breath on continued success for him unless he humbles himself to embrace the position on a professional level.

This should be fun. Caleb Williams needs to grow the F up. He showed me too many plays yesterday that showed prophetic to his draft critics. For starters, his head clock is killing him. His feet get happy too soon and inaccuracy follows. I don't see him as the guy that's willing to take the extra millisecond and take a hit. If he is willing, the flight mechanism is overriding his intent. You could clearly see that, especially the sidearm throw to DJ in the end zone. He saw it and nuked the throw in a rush. Cooler QB's loft it out there. Situational awareness needs to be a huge trait of a QB. Caleb showed me several times that he doesn't get it. He cost us time by not running out of bounds, when he clearly could have.(You too DJ) He got a grounding penalty instead of throwing the deep out that was coming open on the same side of the field. As the QB, he knew the route Rome was running. If it wasn't there, throw high. There was another dump off to the left that could have been called grounding. What he missed was Loveland running free toward that area with room to make a huge play. There was also a third and nine play with a five yard pass to a receiver that was bracketed. The worst of them all was the three second stare down to Rome that the DB was waiting to pick. He didn't look for anyone else that play. It was very high school. At some point, Caleb's wild spirit has to be broken to the point that he's willing to run the offense without the things that are costing him to play poorly. Yesterday's game was a pure indicator of the value of the turnovers we were getting. I'm sure the Bengals have taken note. For the life of me, I don't understand why he always has to do that jump throw to the sideline when he's evading pressure to the right. It simply doesn't work as often as he would like. Just run the damn ball and pick up a few yards. Do I believe Caleb was the most talented player in his class? Absolutely! Maye was my first choice and it had nothing to do with talent. Maye had been competing and learning how to overcome adversity since he was in diapers. There wasn't a person in his family that he didn't have to struggle to beat. I wanted the competitor over the talent. They look too be wired differently. When Maye talks, it's quickly and sure. When Caleb talks it's umm umm. I never liked that trait. The good ones never stammer. I'll wait to see if someone knows one. Trust me, the traits I speak of aren't always a sign and it's simply what I like. And I'm wrong as much as anyone. Growing pains are what they are. Sometimes you see growth and sometimes they just hurt. Caleb has time, but needs to realize what he's doing and what it means on every play. Caleb is our guy and I like him very much. Hopefully, he grows quickly so we can see what he's meant to be.

And none of them drafted by us...

The NFL can eat a bag of dicks. We got outplayed by Ravens and didn't deserve to have the refs pile on.

He did nothing on that interception besides stare at Rome.
