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?

He's repeatedly come up small in big games

he had 4 total touchdowns and 300+ passing yards vs an undefeated Washington, and outdueled Michael Penix. His team still lost because the USC defense gave up 52 points.

It's ridiculous how Caleb detractors constantly make up shit about the guy, when he's the main reason why USC isn't complete dogshit this year. The last time that USC defense didn't give up more than 30+ points was in September.

generally hasn't played very well this season

If 2nd in total passing yards, and tied 2nd in total passing touchdowns while throwing 4 interceptions is bad, then damn the Bears should look elsewhere I guess.

Washington’s defense is horrendous lol

Ah, yes, deshaun watson, the “can’t miss prospect”, who was the 3rd QB taken at 12th overall.

Washing Huskies total defense ranking: 99 - 4099 yards USC Trojans total defense rank: 124 - 4912 yards

They're both awful defenses lol

Wins aren't a QB stat unless I'm biased and dislike the QB
