I just think it's a huge compliment to him that he is having his number retired with a more limited CV than a lot of guys...his impact was clear...you just wonder after watching their defence against LSU in their opening this year what they could have done if they had that defence plus Caleb.

I mean college is 3-4 years for most. If in one of those you win the bloody Heisman that should be enough on the resume IMO. What more can you do individually?

Docknstein11 Posted Monday at 04:18 AM Share Posted Monday at 04:18 AM Just unwisely took a scroll through the general sub to find out the incredibly weird fantasy where Caleb Williams equates to Ryan Leaf 2.0 is still thriving. Wonder how many of those dolts have called others “sheep” for buying into the medias BS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ty21 Posted yesterday at 11:24 AM Share Posted yesterday at 11:24 AM I’m clearly wrong about Jayden Daniels so far but I think I’m withholding judgment. May be a matter of time before I’m right still, just like with Anthony Richardson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are feeling the need to do some sort of religious pennance and can't find your little whip, I suggest the Facebook comment section on anything Bears. All manner of bad idea is alive and well fed there from the predictable "Start Bagent while Fields sits" to the impossible "Josh McCown would have this offense humming" to the obscure "Kerrith Whyte Jr!" as immediate solutions. You'll also get your standard "NFL is rigged" stuff, which clearly makes sense in that you'd want one of your huge markets to be saddled with a borderline unwatchable team for cash reasons.

They’ve put everything on him right now, and he’s looked better every game than the one before. Don’t listen to the morons. They’re just trying to bring you down to their level. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apologies, last time I'll do that. I won't even bring my habit of looking for weird **** on their classified section, which is frankly compelling reading to see the odd stuff people have for sale in my hood.

Silver linings where you can get them; they are putting FAR too much on a rookie QB and he's actually holding up under the load. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely he is. I have no issues with what we’ve seen from him thus far. Rookie mistakes should be expected. He’s facing a lot of adversity early on and handling it very well IMO, which was one of the only real questions about him coming out. The physical talent is obvious, and I’m becoming more and more convinced every week that he has the mental fortitude that’s needed too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah if I was just watching this season for QB development it seems like hes climbing a very steep learning curve well. BUT: -The Colts seem pretty ****ty -He's a risky evasive QB playing behind an OL that is also risky and evasive (relative to their blocking asssignments) and to so we have to admit QB injury is a concern, as is the Sam Darnold "seeing ghosts" meme I'm actually glad they're giving him the full menu, and really pleased with his progress. Hoping it all stays upright. Sorry, couldn't be too positive with the obvious issues this team has. Honestly if the OL had gelled better or the individual performances been better I would be upset about last week as it hurting our playoff chances. At this point I'm just hoping the QB flashes and develops. Our division seems to be loaded with great rosters and coaches doing the impossible so for now I just want Caleb to work out.
