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?

    It’s like these dumbasses posting stats all the time don’t actually watch any of his games.

    He’s repeatedly come up small in big games. He holds the ball forever (like Fields), is kind of undersized, and generally hasn’t played very well this season. Add in all the prima donna shit and he’s definitely earned the scrutiny.

    Like with Bryce Young we need to look past pure numbers when looking at a college QB.

    Pretty much every analyst and scout has him ranked as a top tier prospect. He’s not Luck or Lawrence but he’s probably in the next tier with the likes of Burrow or Kyler. He’s a better prospect than Fields coming out. Bears would be idiots not to take him.

    Only concern for me is that he appears to be a little bit of a diva.

    I think the recent smoke around potential diva tendencies has been the biggest contributor. People see a guy who’s reportedly gearing up to big-time NFL front offices before he even sets foot in the league, and they want him to fail and be humbled. He’s a very good quarterback prospect, but if the stuff we’ve heard is true, it’d be more fun to root against him than for him.

    I downvote all Caleb posts automatically. It’s ridiculous to be banging our heads against the wall of the draft since day 1 of the season.

    This sub is so annoyingly toxic, this is 100% a reasonable take but somehow has been downvoted to the ground.

    I think a lot of the shortcomings of Caleb recently are mainly that he’s trying to do too much, which is not a bad thing, you can really attribute it to his defense being unable to stop anyone

    Because the Trojans have no defense he obviously sucks, right? Honestly, it’s overreaction. Happens every time. This QB is great! Oh, he had a couple off games, he really sucks. He’s going to be very good to great. The Bears would be beyond dumb if they can draft him and don’t.
