Somebody said Bryce was the #1 QB in college. I pointed out Williams was better. So it was relevant to the conversation. 

Bryce was the #1 QB prospect heading into both seasons the last two years. What @CamWhoaaCam said was accurate.

 

Caleb was just seen as a Oklahoma transfer who was inconsistent when it came to his throw vs run decision making. He wasn't on anyone's radar until this last season.

Caleb Williams is the number 1 QB prospect for next year.

It’s not about the beginning of the year. Caleb Williams finished college football this year as the best QB in college football. And that’s why he was awarded the awards. Bryce was terrific. Caleb was just better. And he’s a better pro prospect due to his size, arm strength and speed compared to Bryce. 
 

That’s why there’s many articles like this: https://www.pff.com/news/draft-2023-all-eligible-nfl-mock-draft

Bears, and I agree, would not have traded out of first overall if Caleb was on the board. And they’d take him with Fields on the roster. 

Here’s another about how Caleb would have been the first pick in this class and even last years class: https://247sports.com/Article/Caleb-Williams-would-be-first-QB-selected-in-2023-or-last-years-NFL-Draft-if-eligible-analyst-says-200236324/

https://clutchpoints.com/usc-football-news-jordan-addison-caleb-williams-nfl-draft
 

Here is an article on the athletic where they interviewed coaches: https://theathletic.com/4453949/2023/04/26/nfl-draft-quarterback-class-analysis/

Some preferred Stroud, some Young but even at the bottom there’s a quote where the person said Williams is significantly better than these prospects. By the time the season was over it was clear Williams was the best QB on any college field this year, Young included.

I dont disagree with any of this. Its an empty argument. I was stating at the begining of this year.... Caleb Williams was not on anyone's radar for a top QB prospect and stating IF he was in this draft is not an actuality. 

Hence my reference.... "now do Peyton Manning and Patrick Mahomes"

 

 

Also, your comment about many articles like the one you linked above.... there is literally just one. haha. The article is about what the draft would look like is there were no eligiblity limitations.

You have to let the Caleb Williams dream go my man.

 

Young is our QB now. Williams is a better prospect yes, but he's no longer an option for us. No need to keep bringing him up.

I’m only bringing him up, still, because Casillas keeps replying. For the record, I never pitched us drafting him or thought we were in the running for him. We should be picking too far back to be in range of him. Young is our QB and I support him. That doesn’t mean I have to put blinders on and pretend he’s not without flaw or that there aren’t better PROSPECTS out there than him.

I linked multiple articles saying he’d go first overall above. Not just one. Including one from NFL scouts and coaches on The Athletic.

Chris Simms opinion is not shared by a lot of NFL Scouts and other top QB evaluators.

I am not real  interested in peoples present opinion of Panthers QB Bryce Young but the opinions given at the end of the season are the ones that will get my attention.

Between the Zack Wilson, Corral, and Mitch comments he is just saying things to go against the grain and make some headlines.

Palmer was decent but Leinart, Sanchez and Darnold have been terrible and were all drafted higher. Jury is still out on Fields, so he and Palmer potentially cancel each other out. 

I mean, Mark Sanchez won 4 playoff games and had pretty the same TOTAL yards/TDs as Fields. I’d say they actually cancel each other out and then Ohio State doesn’t have a Carson Palmer. 
 

No need to debate this though as both schools haven’t produced anyone worth talking about. It’s like why debate on who’s the least awful? Lol

I agree with your second paragraph, but I would like to point out Sanchez’s TEAM won four playoff games and if he has similar stats to a very young and still developing Fields with no weapons, bad oline and bad coaching, I’d say Fields’ forecast is much brighter than Sanchez’s pitiful career. I was just saying im guessing Fields had a middle of the road mediocre career like Palmer. Sure Palmer had some stats but he also had one of the greatest WR duos of that era and a good run game. That’s about what I expect Fields’ potential is. Moderate success if the team around him is really good.

Lot of scouts had Richardson #1, CJ #2 and Young #3. 

 

I'll also add that if Young was 6-2 or taller and weighed 230ish, that wouldn't be the case. He'd be a clear cut #1 most years with prototype size 

But he's not. He's 5'10 and whether people like it or not, size matters.

Rookie year Young being better than peak Darnold would be a nice start. Throw in a better offensive staff and it would make for OROTR. 

Peak Darnold was 3,000 yards with 19 TDs and 13 INTs.  Darnold sucks.

The last QB to win OROY had 4,300 yards with 31 TDs and 10 INTs.

      Adam Schefter: Panthers getting trade calls for Andy Dalton

      By strato · Posted

      To kick this up, The Athletic has a really comprehensive piece out where pretty much all QB questions are addressed. It is worth seeing.  https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7083539/2026/03/04/starting-quarterback-projections-free-agency-draft/?source=user_shared_article I’m putting something specific here but it should have a thread or something. It is an extensive exercise.  This is a dense write up with a lot of column inches used, about the Jets and Murray and Reich, all this stuff.. then it goes to backup QB and there is Dalton.  I am pasting that part: As for Dalton, Reich is installing the offense he was trying to run in Carolina in 2023 before he got fired, and Dalton was with the Panthers then; he’s an ideal option as a veteran backup to replace Taylor. Reich said this about Dalton in 2023: “The way he's throwing the football, the way he works through progressions, the way he handles the operation. … Since day one (when) he walked in the door, I'm like, 'This guy is starter-worthy.' You guys know I've said that all along. He's, in my opinion, one of the best 32 quarterbacks in the world.” ——— That’s true love lol. I never heard any of this. Pretty crazy I think, considering how the year went.   Anyway the dream is not dead. .

      I’VE FOUND OUR WR3 (Rashid Shaheed)

      By Car123 · Posted

      The Seahawks traded for wide receiver/returner Rashid Shaheed at the trade deadline. He proved to be a key acquisition. Shaheed returned a punt and a kickoff for touchdowns in the regular season and had a 95-yard kickoff return in the postseason. Shaheed, though, is scheduled for free agency. So, the 12 games he played, including the postseason, might be the extent of his time in Seattle. Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Shaheed and the Seahawks are not close to an extension, and the expectation is that the two-time Pro Bowler will hit free agency. Shaheed has 153 receptions for 2,243 yards and 12 touchdowns in his four-year career to go along with three punt return touchdowns and a kickoff return touchdown. He ranks 13th on PFT’s top-100 free agents. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/report-rashid-shaheed-appears-headed-to-free-agency
