It's not nuthooks level, but people don't like having their hopes shit on like that.

I know it was. I'm just seconding the reality of getting my hopes up once again...

I had no idea this was such a hot button issue - is it CEH or Darwin - what does CEH bring that Darwin Can't?

I'm so confused. Talk to me Dartgod, Sofa King and Lewdog! I need to understand!

Kiimo 08-28-2023 05:45 PM

I'm confused didn't you post that earlier? Darwin is trash that's why nobody responded

B. Solid Starter

Kiimo 08-28-2023 05:48 PM

CEH is worlds better than Darwin, even if he should be cut.

But any team in football would give up 5 years worth of 1sts for a guy who proves to be Patrick Mahomes. That's the point.

What Williams presents is someone who does a lot of the same things as Mahomes. Appears very savvy, very fluid in his mechanics, mobile, strong-armed.

When people see Williams they see the next closest thing to Mahomes that has come through the draft in awhile. Teams aren't tanking for Williams because he's a better prospect than Mahomes - they're tanking for Williams because they live in a Post-Mahomes world.

And again - they're not really tanking much anyway. The Cardinals suck.

They're gonna be in a good spot regardless. Even if Caleb Williams turns his nose up at them, they can draft Drake Maye, who quite honestly looks like Justin Herbert with better arm angle ability.

Most of the people work with are located in Raleigh and they haven't been this high on a player in so many years. He might be the best Tarheel ever. You just watch him play and see so much talent. I'd argue you see as much talent from him as Caleb Williams.

Hopefully both these guys go to the NFC to balance the scales a bit. Cardinals and The Bears would do.

I'm glad I don't ever have to root for Caleb Williams.


He's a dick.

UChieffyBugger 08-28-2023 06:08 PM

A lot of folks are hyping up Williams but here are some points to consider.

1. He's about 5'11 or at best 6 foot which is Baker Mayfield or Drew Brees height. There's noway he's 6'1 as speculated imo.

2. The system he plays in is very QB friendly and made Baker and Murray look like superstars too.

3. His running ability is more shifty than actual speed and that's not gonna get him 600 plus rush yards In NFL as defenders are way too quick.

4. He's played against many weak teams and has had NFL talent like Addison to throw to.

5. He'll be 23 a month into his rookie year. Mahomes was 22 his rookie year and 23 when he eon the mvp with 50 TD's and 5000 yards.

Don't get me wrong he'll likely be the number one pick and his creativity can look like Pat at times. But what makes Pat special is not just the wow plays but it's his ability to digest information quickly and react that seperates him. I'd love to see Caleb face the Georgia defense this year or see how he copes when he faces Belichick in the league. Those are the tests that will show us how good he really is.

Also he does something like that, what, a dozen times per season?

I'm out on Caleb Williams. I saw some interview with him, halftime or something, and someone asked him something about Mahomes, and he said (I think this is verbatum) "there really isn't anything he can do that I can't, so yeah."

:spock:

A spoonful of humility does a career good, bud.

Then I watched the second half and he sure he threw some good balls off platform, he threw some good balls. He also threw some balls away pretty early. He also eliminated half the field really early in a lot of snaps.

I don't know yet. I'm not sure I buy the 'generational' stuff, though. That's for sure.

What I think people lose sight of is how few mistakes Mahomes makes.

The difference between a good golfer and ME isn't the good shots. I can make a handful of damn near PGA caliber shots on occasion. Good flexibility means I can really whip the clubhead through.

But brotha I am a shitty golfer. Because for every 'Mahomes' shot I make, I duff 8 of 'em. I will absolutely rip an approach shot right down the middle and be set up for an easy bird - then I'll center the ball with a pitching wedge and hit it 60 yards over the green on a 12 degree launch angle. Or I'll just hit the top of it and roll it 15 yards.

I really don't give a damn how amazing a play a guy can make. Or how MANY of them he can make. It's how many mistakes he makes that matters.

Eli Manning said it best - 'When I'm bad, I can't be that bad...' and for the overwhelming majority of quarterbacks, that needs to be the thing they focus on. And it's real possible that a lot of really talented guys are going to lose sight of that fact and a lot of really bold front offices are going to get a few coaches fired with them...
