Why so much Caleb Williams hate? (alien.top)

A few weeks ago, you saw people saying he was a generational talent, that they would pick him (as a prospect coming out of college) over Andrew Luck, Peyton Manning, John Elway, comparing his game to Patrick Mahomes. He has lost a few games this year but Jesus, his defense gives up 33 PPG, 420 yards of offense per game and they let people score 94% of the time in the redzone.

He has 119 total touchdowns over 3 years with only 13 ints. This year he is completing almost 70% of his passes. Are you guys genuinely concerned about his ability to play at the next level or is it just nit picking at this point?

No, not concerned. He’s easily the best prospect since Lawrence, and quite possibly since Luck. The bears would be idiots if he’s there and we don’t draft him.

The fans hating him are just showing how little they know about draft prospects.

He’s not a better prospect than Lawrence, come on…

You saying that shows how little YOU know about draft prospects.

Could he wind up better? Sure. Mahomes did. You can argue Herbert and Allen have too.

But as it stands he’s NOT the level of prospect of Lawrence & Luck. He’s more of that Kyler, Burrow, Cam level which is just a tier below. Still a damn good level.

He's not on the same tier as either Luck or Lawrence. Luck was an S-tier, actually generational type talent. Lawrence was considered an A-tier prospect who had been recruited and followed heavily since High School. Williams is a step below both of them in the B-tier. He could be very good in the NFL, but he's far from generational or a sure thing. He's in your Kyler Murray tier.
