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?

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.
