All the concerns I had about Caleb Williams' playing style are showing up. Holds the ball too long, too quick to bail on the pocket and try to create a scramble drill, too focused on the hero play. I wasn't sold on him as an NFL prospect because you had to view him as a complete rebuild project. You're drafting the raw talent and now you have to re-teach him how to play QB as an NFL QB because this isn't college anymore. Everyone wanted to compare him to Mahomes but the difference is that Mahomes can make all the easy routine plays look easy and routine and only breaks out the highlight reel stuff when necessary. Caleb wants to skip all the easy and routine stuff and just go straight to highlight reel stuff every snap and that can't work in the NFL.

If my math is correct, as of right now, Caleb has just matched one of Young's rookie stats... 62 sacks. Safe to say he's going to beat that. David Carr's record of 76 sacks may just be out of reach, however.

A lot of them are on Caleb though. This Bears OL isn't good and when you pair that with a QB who loves to hold the ball and try to scramble around to buy time well, this is what you get.

Yes, which is what everyone does every draft. As I stated, this draft appears to be a pretty big QB stinker.

Remember the notoriously poor class prediction on the 2022 QB class? Well as it stands only one of the QB's drafted(Mr. Irrelevant, Brock Purdy) is likely to see a second contract with his draft team. Literally every other QB drafted is on another team and a backup just two years later.

This draft isn't that far off, aside from perhaps Sanders and Ward.

Irt my original comment, I wasn't necessarily saying that they had to do it this year.  Just that they need to draft someone to take Wilson's place eventually.  And it would be great to have someone sit for a year or two while wilson is still able to play.

But my point about the draft is, is it a stinker?  Its really impossible to tell.  To often, the great qb classes (2021) turn out to be not great, while the lesser hyped classes are better than advertised.

      We might have replacement refs again…

      After some of the calls last year probably won't see much of a drop off

      https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/48344034/nfl-begin-hiring-replacement-officials-given-state-negotiations-nfl-referees-association   Honestly fug these refs and their union. Resisting changes that would actually incentivize good performance and not seniority based systems. What a bunch of donkeys. Hope the replacements straight up take their jobs and never give them back. Sick of watching refs script games with no repercussions.

      Donovan seems like highest risk to me. Lloyd and May have already established relationships with all these kids. There’s probably guys hitting the portal that they recruited from HS. And then there’s the possibility of transferring their own guys from their current teams. They’ve also been recruiting the HS kids for like the next 5 years already. Look at the Iowa coach who hit the ground running by transferring all his guys from his D2 program. Or going across sports to Cignetti transferring all his JMU guys year one then building off that to a national title year 2. Donovan is starting from square one having been in the NBA so long and he’s already 60. So you’re potentially punting year 1 for a guy you are just hoping to be a 10 year hire while you figure out how to actually develop your next home grown 20yr guy. That’s 1/10th of the time you have him, more or less at best. The hope would be that he would find some high level assistants who have been working the college recruiting trails already, but then are you giving up his ideal staff just to get a foothold in recruiting and transfers. Think Belichick year one was bad? Imagine how much worse it would be without Steve Belichicks transfer portal pulls. Hoping Mays or Lloyd are all they’re cracked up to be.
