SteelKing728 Posted Monday at 11:09 AM Share Posted Monday at 11:09 AM Bo Nix looks like the same QB he's been...probably for awhile now. Caleb Williams can't get away with just playing hero ball. He has to learn how to actually be a QB. Jayden Daniels looks fine. Once the game slows down for him his stats will reflect it. Hopefully Maye and Penix can sit most if not the entire season.

wcblack34 Posted Monday at 12:56 PM Share Posted Monday at 12:56 PM Caleb isn't playing hero ball. He's playing "run for his life because his offensive line seems to have a personal vendeta against him and want him dead" ball. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Houston had 36 pressures on 37 pass attempts. Houston's DL was in his lap all night. I think Nate Davis hates him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caleb Williams is going to be good - I think he'll be fine. The game is very fast for him right now, but his IOL is horrid. The C and RG had multiple plays where they didn't even make contact with a defender. They just can't call the longer developing routes right now because the line stinks, so they have to throw laterally a lot to get the ball out fast. When he did escape and try to make things happen, he got in trouble with a little bit of arm confidence but also trying to make something happen with the game in reach. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Him running around throwing off his back foot across the field is pretty much the definition of hero ball. I don't think he's going to be good at all. At least not in Chicago.

Not until they improve their OL...over the next few years, they're probably going to have to do like Spielman did and draft more OL higher. They did draft Wright last year, but they need to do more. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QBs that don't understand how to play in stucture & don't know where they're supposed to go with the ball make offensive lines look very bad 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had someone in his lap at the top of most drops. Can't play in structure when the structure is blown up at the snap. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SemperFeist Posted Monday at 02:11 PM Share Posted Monday at 02:11 PM While Williams has certainly not gotten the help from his o-line that he needs, his ability to throw off platform and create are what made him that “generational prospect”, and through the first two games he hasn’t been able to create. His accuracy has been bad. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Relax Posted Monday at 02:17 PM Share Posted Monday at 02:17 PM While he's not a rookie, Will Levis is sure playing like one. He has some great, gutsy throws and yet has put his team in bad place with stupid throwing decisions over the last two games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
