This guy plays the position of QB beautifully. As a Bears fan, I want him at QB, good luck to J. Fields.

[@Greatness001]

He is literally playing like the QB you want to get rid of lol

[@spaghett420]

@@Greatness001 if you think bustin fields and caleb williams are even remotely comparable as QBs you are incompetent at evaluating the position and honestly should stop watching football its not for you.

[@12jswilson]

My takeaway is that he did the best you could possibly expect given what was around him. The line wasn't blocking and receivers weren't getting open, dropping passes, or quitting on the route (first play to Rice). He did too much "hero ball" but that's to be expected when his defense is giving up as many points as they do. My only real, real critique is his placement for passes was often suboptimal, even when he wasn't pressured and that limited some YAC opportunities.

[@brianupdegraff4558]

Man that right guard had a day... I would love to see a video where the DT's didn't just destroy the pocket immediately. But hey with the centers the Bears play at least he'll have a smooth transition to having no protection in the NFL.

[@rbu2136]

I was thinking same if Washington pulled him in.

[@mattofmatticus7746]

Looks like he feels he always has to make a big play. Gotta learn when to take the checkdown

Welcome to Chicago

[@zathanielprice6533]

Lots of arm strength shown in this game

[@aidanlarsen]

Elite arm talent, elite picker presence, elite making on the run throws, he just has to chill out with the hero ball sometimes, and also he gotta stop being a diva off the field

[@DPMixing]

He had to play hero ball because the defense was azz (ranked near dead last in the country). The offense had to score basically every drive. If they punted just once or twice they were likely to lose. He had multiple 300yd 3+ TD games where the offense would put up over 40pts and they’d still lose. Often in heartbreaking fashion with the defense giving up like 2 scores in final 3 mins lol. The diva stuff is overblown. He was cocky af as a sophomore but toned it down a ton this past season. The media narrative was already set though.

If Rice doesn't stop running and catches that 70 yard TD in the beginning USC wins this game just saying Caleb put that ball spot on

[@eazylife83]

The way he fights in the pocket to avoid a sack instead of taking it is what is nice with caleb because he's always looking to make a play and with reckless play like that your going to fumble a time or two but over all even though he had no time to throw he still managed to make plays and complete some big throws but he definitely has somethings to clean up!

[@bukbagg2735]

Where is all this greatness everyone says he has

[@crutonpreton15]

Idk where's the offensive line lol

[@walterjohnson6109]

What play did he throw the ball with anticipation?

[@bendoah350]

The tape dont lie, I don't see NFL ready

[@Alec-zo1jb]

Wonder how the kid does playing under center.. I watched a few of his games and the majority of his snaps are in shotgun.. I’m assuming because he is on the shorter side.

[@CerebralChaos]

I feel like he played a lot better at the end of the game (until that final two-point conversion, where he passed up an open receiver) than throughout. There were too many plays where he'd escape the pocket when he didn't need to and ignore open receivers, but he did a better job on the last couple of drives getting through his progressions and playing on time.

[@aidenlanse5916]

5:19, how do you guys evaluate this play? Clearly the LG is getting pushed into his lap, but should he have stepped up with more anticipation and delivered a more accurate ball? I'm just wondering if this factors into this heroball mindset that everyone keeps talking about; where he's looking for the escape instead of the platform.

[@usernamelarry1245]

Really tough throw but a miss for sure, couldn’t really set his feet the pressure was collapsing quick

[@12jswilson]

It's a bad play for sure. He had time to reset his feet, but given the cumulative pressure so far, I understand why he probably didn't feel that way in the moment and he just trusted his arm talent too much. There are a bunch of other plays that are similar where his arm talent was good enough. Probably just something you might have to live with.

[@crutonpreton15]

From this film to me I see a QB doing his best. Some flaws with Caleb pop off the screen here; notably that he operates better in chaos than in structure, however most of the things can be fixed and a lot of them are related to this offense having a poor day.

[@OriolesRedskins28]

Some Jayden Daniels games please 🙏

[@VangoArtShow]

This is my second game watching Caleb and I just don’t get the generational tag. I don’t think him and Jayden Daniels gap is as far as everybody is making it. He’s 100% at top 5 pick but I’m seeing more Kyler Murray to his game than Patrick Mahomes. That Notre Dame tape was rough. if I’m the Bears, I’m definitely taking the draft pick haul that include minimum two first rounders, and two seconds and drafting Marvin Harrison Jr.

[@googlechicken]

Caleb is talented no doubt by I don’t get the hype on him. if he runs 10 yds backwards on every other play in the NFL he will be Not For Long

[@niveKOnBass]

He's just like Justin Fields. He will be mediocre and the hype is not justified. This guy will be a bust imo.

[@ceeebo]

You are both way off. He'll be a star.

[@reelspicy]

Bruh.. If the bears draft this guy and get rid of Justin, they are even dumber than I thought. it's nothing against this guy, but take the haul, get weapons and beef the Oline. Not only see what Justin can do, but if he falters, take the extra draft capital and get your guy in '25 to develop, sign a vet guy, and can drop him in a much better situation. Caleb will not be able to get away with this sort of stuff. He plays more like zach wilson than mahomes. One thing I will say is his footwork and decision making is a bit quicker than justin. One of things Justin has to improve is his internal clock. But Dude, even if you put mahomes on the bears with the coaching staff, weak oline, and weak offensive playmakers the last few years, he wouldn't look anywhere near the sure fire hall of famer he's been in KC. The bears have to get this right.

[@walterjohnson6109]

One time he drop back and deliver a strike. All the good throws were off scheduled . You guys are silly if you think he’s better than Fields let alone Jayden Daniels. Really need to stop listening to guys who had Trubisky and Daniel Jones rated highly

[@paulino89]

The OL stunk lets just get that out the way but he has to stay within the offense at times and take what is given not every play is gonna be a highlight reel play and a throw away is better than a sack but there is obvious talent here maybe he let the hype get in his head a bit hopefully he goes to a nice situation and gets good coaching.

[@VicInNocal]

Brett Favre vibes

[@CJStew06]

He can't afford to have a bad OC because all of his bad habits will take over. He needs a strong offensive coach to keep him check-I don't think Lincoln Riley had control of him this year.

[@mathewerenberger7275]

Keep in mind, thats the #1 pick in the draft. They say hes patrick mahomes but cant win a game in college *this wont change in the NFL*.

[@LionAces23]

He got elite arm talent but all that time to throw won't be in the nfl all that dancing in the backfield gone get cut short. I will say that offensive line at USC is horrible 😂

[@Colton2418]

Anyone calling him a bust doesn’t understand the sport, they also have probably never played it. This MATTERS because if you never played with pads then you don’t know what it’s like to be all on your own when playing. Caleb this entire year was asked to LITERALLY be superman and carry the Trojans, he will translate to the NFL seamlessly, and I can tell there will be the same people talking about how they “always believed in him”

[@zDuKeMaNz]

Are you saying he is a “can’t miss prospect”?

[@soonerdave01]

You played high school football and now think you're an expert. 🙄🙄

[@TonydaGM]

I think I understand sports, do you think he will play within a system or will he just go off and try to create whenever he wants

[@evanthompson4186]

Some of the best coaches and scouts never played football on a high level lol. Use analysis on a player. Not, "I played highschool football so trust me bro." Williams has a lot of talent, but he will have to stop his bad habits when he gets to the league. He's too careless with the football and hero ball only gets you so far in the NFL. In the NFL you have small windows and you have to hit your targets on time or those windows close. Williams will struggle if he doesn't get with the right coaching staff. He'll be a turnover machine if he continues his play from college.

[@TonydaGM]

Go watch " How to draft a NFL QB" on Jets Chaos utube. Caleb is physically gifted but he comes with warning signs. He fumbles another plus his interceptions are bad decisions. . The advanced escapabiliy works in college against weaker comp colleges but he struggled against the better teams. I see your point on having to do more but he needs to stay in the pocket in the NFL.
