I'm just not a fan of these "off schedule" QBs. I saw a couple of analysts on ESPN claim Williams' play dipped last season because his o-line and receivers were bad. But explain to me why his back up QB threw 6 TD's (over 300 yds) in a bowl game against an allegedly superior Louisville team if those disadvantages were real.

We'll see.

I like it a lot. Pretty much the best we can hope for. 

I always thought he was overrated coming out of college...but I'm happy to have him here.

Sad about this. Watch him thrive in Washington. I will also miss Bozeman and his (and wife's) positivity. But this is what happens amidst disaster.

Is this a Renfrow thread or an AT thread? LOL

6 fumbles in 5 years, at least 1 each of the last 4. Lost 4 of those fumbles. No thanks.

My hat's off to Dante. Some may differ, but while great CBs came and went, others disappointed, others stay injured...Dante held the position down. His own injuries started to take their toll, but even when he played on a bad toe a couple of years ago, he was effective.

Wake me up when a Lincoln Riley QB doesn't kill it. Williams has super intriguing talent. He has a helluva arm, is a good scrambler, and a GREAT thrower on the move. My big concerns with him are the diva attitude and that he holds the ball forever. Like FOREVER. 

I think he's complete boom or bust. He's gonna be great or he's gonna be a bust. I don't see a lot of room for gray area in between. Either his game will translate or it won't.

Exactly. The skills are undeniable. The attitude and competitive nature are highly questionable. 

I don't like that Caleb played worse this year than last. I don't like that he declined to play the Bowl game, and his replacement absolutely KILLED it in his stead. I don't like that he's declining the medical exam. Maybe afraid his blood test will show something? I don't like he's declining to throw at the combine. 

The only top QB to decline last year from throwing was Bryce. Not a great precedent.

Things I would do:

- Respectfully let go of Burns. Our D was decent even as he had an off season. Haynes, Barno, YGM can fill the gaps.

- Don't waste money on another LT. Open competition between BC and Icky. If BC looks better at LT, he starts at LT.

- Spend whatever I can on a #1 WR! 

There's a whole lot more to do, of course, but I'd start there.

I'll say this. Watching Baker this season really pissed me off, because he didn't look CLOSE to that good for us last season. Well...We get his OC and his QB Coach, so...

I'll bet he was cheap.

Eventually CMC is just going to take over again 

If they give him the ball.

CMC doesn't touch the ball that whole drive. Waste.

This is what people have been waiting to find out about Purdy. Can he excel from behind against a good team.

WHAT is going on with Green Bay??? It's like they're playing free now that what's-his-name is gone!

Great run by CMC! Can't keep him down for long. Great season for CJ Stroud. No way you beat the Ravens when your out-rushed 229 to 38 and have 11 penalties to their 3. But their future is clearly bright.

The Tepper Effect.

I mean, a FG would have been fine. 

Dallas is gonna arrest Aaron Jones for MURDER!

That pick was savage.

I wonder if Lamb has any, um, outstanding debts?

I'm laughing my butt off watching this game! 

I hope he completes the clean sweep and fires himself. 

I think with an improved o-line (which should be with everyone healthy.) Maybe BC at LT. With receivers who can separate quickly. Maybe then we'll see better results from BY. 

Got to protect him and also run the ball. Then, after another year, if he shows little improvement, we should look elsewhere. 

Ugh. Worst trade EVER for the #1 pick. Not because I think Bryce is bad...just lost way too much to get him.
