PFT reporting Caleb Williams wants partial ownership stake in whichever franchise drafts him

[Teddy2SuperBowlHeartBreaks]

So it doesn’t bother anyone that the “media” can report something as ridiculous as this, it sours the public perception of the player, and in 2 weeks when the redaction comes out nobody will care because the narrative is already sown in the public consciousness?

It's a random twitter account that paid for a blue check, not exactly credentialed media.

So? The damage is already done. In this very thread it’s already being taken as “fact” and used to tarnish somebody’s reputation. Most people will read the headline, come away with a completely false narrative and move on with their day.

I don’t think the league would allow any active player to have ownership in a team.

Is it not true? The only thing I've read is that it's rehashing an old story from July. I haven't seen anything that said it wasn't true.

These are two reasonable takes on the situation. It is interesting that all of a sudden this was pushed out on social media platforms and spread the week after the bad loss, even though it was based on a PFT article from July.

Yes, why?

Why are you even following the Panthers if you think they’re just a brand when you’re not even from here?

No serious football fan would delude themselves with that Bill Parcells bullshit ass idea that people cheer for the jersey not the guys wearing them. Of course you move on if the player changes teams, but you never forget what they did while wearing your team’s jersey. When the players suck, everything sucks. You don’t see anyone in here right now bragging about our color scheme or the team’s market value.

so a player that part owns the team, is the coach's boss? Probably not getting cut lol.

I think the crux of the issue is that Caleb has a great arm and can make throws but he’s starting to get the film on him (the classic next years class is better analysis) and people are catching on that he holds on to the ball too damn long and will take sacks to avoid an incompletion. Generational talent gets thrown around too much.

Yes

it’s crazy to think he’d do better than 0-6 on the way to 0-17?

i mean maybe not better but can’t do worse…now that’s crazy

That isn't the most difficult thing for good coaches to teach out of a player of William's caliber, especially since a big reason he holds onto the ball too long in college is because he's usually able to get away with it because of how good he is.

The rumor is fairly old and has solid sources from all over college football and the NFL.
