I think Caleb and the offense are going to be all right. I dont know how many weeks that is going to take. It might be a bit though.

I do worry about the LT and the Pass Rush a lot though. I hope they come through.

Edit:  I should add that the execution in both 2min scenarios in the game should give us all hope.  Regardless of starters/backups the organization and execution there is a good sign that things are going to be different. 

Thayer was talking about that last week, saying that some young QBs thrive in that scenario due having less time to think.

I watched this video and with his all-22 shots it makes me feel much more confident in our team.  This is a kind of a long review with him mostly talking but I link my sources.  He doesn't review a lot of plays per se but there are many clips where you can see the coverage was pretty good.  We don't see a lot of blown assignments.  The pass rush was bad as we know.  Offense the Oline looked good.  It was Caleb with some poor decisions which is what many here thought.  Caleb can grow out of that with more experience with the scheme and more of Ben Johnson in his ear.  

We have 2 weeks to prepare for Minn and I'm feeling better about that game.

if that's not a block in the back i've never seen one. That blows up the defensive play and  removes a sack and gives the qb a free ride.

Here's another one I was watching because I was bored and my feed dropped at the end of the game.  Instead of watching Bagent I focused on backup Oline players.  To me Amegadjie looks to have poor hand placement then has to rely on leaning on defenders.  Trapilo need some refinement but I could see a future for him as our starting RT.   He included two views of each play.

I like this one a lot better, the other one, the guy talks to much. Nice with the repeat plays.

I agree.  The Football Scout changed his format because he now has scouting contracts with agents and others.  I always have the fast forward button at the ready.

I agree. I didnt mean it was a clean play, I was just marveling at the effort.

The biggest concern with Caleb was holding onto the ball too long, as that led to too many sacks. If nothing else changed, and he got the ball out quicker, cut down on sacks, then the results will come. Here is Caleb's TTT compared to other QBs:

In the KC game:
• Patrick Mahomes 3.69 TTT
• Tyson Bagent 3.08 TTT
• Caleb Williams 3.06 TTT

Caleb Williams on 25 pass attempts in the preseason this year:
68% completion
8.8 Y/A
122.1 passer rating
71.3 PFF passing grade
2.89 TTT

Drake Maye, another second year QB in a new system (12 att):
58% completion
4.8 Y/A
70.8 passer rating
36.9 PFF grade
3.30 TTT

So I would say he is passing the test so far, no delay of game penalties, no wasted time outs, no INTs, and only 1 sack.
