Odds are extremely low. Pretty sure Mahomes' a unicorn, like Barry or MJ.

I understand why you love him

Bump 09-02-2023 05:46 PM

Every QB that can move out of the pocket and look for a big play is going to be compared to Mahomes. Didn't the Packers draft Love due to this comparison?

He does look good though, but I bet you'll have to wait at least 3 more generations before you find anyone on Mahome's level. That's a once in a lifetime QB really. I've never seen anyone that good watching football for 30 years.

LoneWolf 09-02-2023 05:46 PM

**** off, Clay. Go search for the attention you crave in DC.

ToxSocks 09-02-2023 05:57 PM

When i watch Caleb Williams play, all i can think about is how much this is gonna drive Patrick Mahomes to be even greater.

This is the closest thing to Mahomes we've ever seen, talent wise. And Mahomes knows it.

Of course he's got a looooong way to go to reach Mahomes level of greatness. But all this will do is drive the GOAT to be greater.

Bowser 09-02-2023 06:00 PM

I'm not taking a thing away from Williams, but I am curious to see him perform at a level that isn't a college conference on the brink of collapse.

We are starting to see some people saying Caleb Williams is/will be better than Patrick Mahomes. I think it’s ridiculous, but there are people that feel that way. I was wondering if anyone here would choose Caleb over Mahomes. So the choice is simple: who would you rather have as QB for the next 12 years? Williams Or Mahomes?

In58men 09-02-2023 06:16 PM

Why is it that most Black QBs are compared to Patrick Mahomes?

Justin Fields
Trey Lance
Bryce Young
Kyler Murray

And now Caleb Williams

Can we just appreciate players for who they are without the lame comparisons?

Dark Horse 09-02-2023 06:20 PM

What makes Mahomes great is not his physical attributes but it’s more mental it’s his drive to be perfect working tirelessly to fix even the smallest flaws, and his incomparable will to win. He has a gift and it’s a gift of unmatched character like what Jordan has we are not going to see it again so soon in any sport

Chiefshrink 09-02-2023 06:24 PM

Nothing personal Clay, but just the fact you make this comparison tells me you never played the game.;)

I don't care how athletic or big gunned a QB is, IF he never learns to play chess at the QB position in the NFL and continues to play checkers he will just be JAAQB(Just Another Athletic QB) with a limited mind thus limiting his athleticism in the long run in the NFL. And we have witnessed many, many of those in the last 20yrs. Very few have had the whole package. Aaron Rodgers had what Peyton and Tom did not have, a big arm and athleticism but all played great chess.

We are now blessed as a fanbase to be presently witnessing 'thee best NFL QB' of all time(barring injury and future bad drafts) taking the NFL QB position to a whole new level playing backyard football at the chess level"never seen before". Aaron's backyard ball doesn't even come close to Pat IMO

NO, because I assure you all 31 other HCs wish their own QB was like Pat who never stops learning and improving his game with an IMMENSE drive and passion to not only win(which is a given) BUT keep improving his game to stay ahead of the other 31 DCs around the league. Sure all 31 other QBs are not Pat BUT they can have Pat's commitment to the QB position and that's all they are asking of their QB. Pat does have a tall task to win 8 SBs IF Pat stays healthy and we have good drafts with key positive FA pickups along the way. Yes many pieces of that puzzle must fall into place perfectly over time BUT if there is a person who thrives in 'impossible situations' it's PAT !!! The fact he is young will definitely help him possibly attain this goal of 8 SBs;)

I assure you all 31 other HCs were NFL masturbating to PAT on Netflix's series ("QB") only wishing their QB had Pat's heart and head.:drool:

Simple. Deberg and Pete.

TwistedChief 09-02-2023 07:11 PM

He's damned good and he seems to be wired the right way.

I wouldn't put anyone even close to Mahomes but he could easily work his way into the top of the 1b conversation with Burrow, Allen, Herbert, and Lawrence.

Planning to go to the ND/USC game in Octobert and pretty excited to watch the guy live.

I don't believe any of the 3 QBs you mentioned ever made the Pro Bowl. I'll bet you Caleb Williams does in one of his first 3 seasons. Fair?

One looks a lot more like Mahomes off-platform outside the pocket than the other two.

The best part of this is when Arizona replaces the last “midget next Mahomes” with the current “midget next Mahomes”

And they get taught their lesson twice.

ThyKingdomCome15 09-02-2023 07:55 PM

This idea of there being another Patrick Mahomes irritates me deeply. There is no other Patrick Mahomes! There is simply Patrick Mahomes and no other. This is in the same sense as there is only one Michael Jordan and no other. There COULD be another unique talent but that's still a staunch difference than the original.

Caleb Williams vs Drake Maye is gonna be a fun talking point next Spring.

Maye looks like a Herbert clone to me. He's really good, but plays for a lesser team in NC and without Lincoln Riley's excellent offensive coaching.

mlyonsd 09-02-2023 08:13 PM

He's got the physical ability but does he have the same game management/leadership skills that translate to the NFL?

As others have stated Pat was drafted into a pretty solid system with a HC that his skills play into. To match Pat he's going to need a good GM and HC that can build everything he needs around him to be successful.

And when I say successful I mean rings.

I already said no one compares to Mahomes but this guy could definitely compete with the tier below him. I provided a standard well above the tier you compared him to as a baseline bet and you tapped out. Cool.

frozenchief 09-02-2023 08:32 PM

So, for the next umpteen years, media pundits will compare that person to Patrick Mahomes. Why? Because Mahomes is the best. He does things no other quarterback ever has.

I recognize the progress of history. Eventually there will be a QB who posts better records and is worthy of comparison. Right now that's hard to believe but its inevitable. But the time to make that decision is after the person has been in the league for a few years, is in 100% of the conference championship games during his career, has fewer than 2 losses by more than 1 TD, etc. Until that time comes, though, I can make this real simple: the answer to the following question:

"Is [fill in hot new college QB] the next Patrick Mahomes?"

will be 'NO'.

He's NOT 6'1. He's 5'11 or 6 foot at best. His size is pretty much the same as Baker Mayfield and media folks who have met him like Colin Cowherd have mentioned his height already.

Williams can clearly throw the ball all over the field but Pat in 2018 is not the same Pat in 2023. Defenses will take that backyard stuff away most Sunday's and he's gonna have to do it from the pocket which isn't his strength right now.

We also need to see him against better competition. The guys he's facing right now just aren't cutting it.

I am saying he’s more likely to be on the level of a top 5-10 NFL QB who makes a Pro Bowl in his first 3 seasons than a bust. You are the one who throws out the bust label and then will only own up to your dumb takes if he’s not on the level of Mahomes. It’s not hard to see you’re overmatched here (yet again).

Part of what confuses me on his ability is the difference in their college rosters. Williams seems to have a lot of talent around him. A good OL, some really great WR’s.

I don’t think TTU’s roster talent was anywhere near what Williams has at USC.

Still, he’s pretty talented.

DRM08 09-03-2023 09:55 AM

Caleb is pretty talented, but he has also been surrounded with a lot of talent at both Oklahoma & USC. Guess we'll see how it plays out for him in the NFL, where the guys on his team won't be better than the guys on the other team.

Non homer glasses on - he’s the closest I’ve seen. Granted he’s playing with 5 stars as opposed to 2 stars. Mahomes has the stronger arm, and is probably an inch and a half taller. But the arm angles and play making is there. But he’ll never catch Mahomes with the accolades. Especially if Gannon is his coach

A QB who makes the Pro Bowl in one of his first 3 years is far more likely to be in the top 5-10 QBs in the NFL than be a bust, no?

Tyler Huntley was voted to the Pro Bowl as the 5th (!) alternate after Mahomes, Burrow, and Allen were voted the starters. And then the alternates were Tua, Herbert, Lawrence, Lamar, and then…Huntley.

We can make the bet that he’s voted in as one of the top-3 in his first 3 years and then you’d agree he probably needs to be pretty good to reach that? Deal?

RealSNR 09-03-2023 10:14 AM

Lincoln Riley does a great job getting his guys drafted #1.

Once they get to the NFL… I mean they weren’t total busts.

I agree that Williams is on a different plane than Baker and COD boy. But I don’t think him going to the Cardinals is a recipe for turning him into Mahomes

I made a Caleb Williams post in the NFL Cuts thread. Here it is.

: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.

We'll see, and I'm the only guy on the ****ing planet out on the dude - and I'm certainly open to being wrong. Stay with me here, in my mind what makes Mahomes the best is the grind. He is supremely talented, sure, but there have been talented dudes that could do some amazing shit. But transferring those skills to production is where Mahomes shines.

My opinion is that teams now need to watch out for dudes trying to do Mahomes stuff, rather that being able to do Mahomes stuff and playing football.

https://i.guim.co.uk/img/static/sys-...0&dpr=1&s=none

Maybe it wasn't such a hot take. Biggest thing is that Mahomes doesn't approach ball like he's Mahomes. He grinds like a rookie. This dude obviously does not.

We can make the bet that he’s voted in as one of the top-3 in his first 3 years and then you’d agree he probably needs to be pretty good to reach that? Deal?

I’m sorry sir, but the other bettor has engaged the “tap out acknowledged” button in a previous post, therefore rendering the argument as lost. This is according to CPlogic known as “petelore” (also known as “rent free” and “you’re taking this too seriously”).

Good luck on future bets.

Maybe it wasn't such a hot take. Biggest thing is that Mahomes doesn't approach ball like he's Mahomes. He grinds like a rookie. This dude obviously does not.

Yeah, I’ve heard him interviewed before and he displayed a lot of humility. Everyone asks him about comparisons to Mahomes. This is in line with what he said in the podcast I listened to (and is a completely different interview):

Quote:

“He is the best player in the world,” Williams told Jason Reid of Andscape. “He does special things. His teammates love him. The man has two [Super Bowls]. So to be compared to someone like that … it’s a sense of respect. But it’s also irrelevant, ’cause I’m Caleb. Caleb Williams here at USC. I haven’t even won a [college] national championship yet.”
He gets the comparisons to Mahomes because he has a lot of that “it” playmaking ability out of the pocket. Comparing his play style to Mahomes doesn’t mean anyone is saying he’s as good as Mahomes. Some people here - not you Buehler but more MiamiSuperFan99 - are so defensive they can’t even appreciate a talented prospect and feel the need to be overly negative and drag everything down. It’s par for the course.

He’s fun to watch. I’m glad he’ll wind up somewhere in the NFC to balance things out a bit.

Admittedly I haven't seen him play a ton, and heard him talk less. It was probably just a one off thing, but I was definitely :spock:.

And I'm certainly open to being wrong. That's why I went with the hot take meme. Maybe I should just say I see some hot takes.

If he is good, he definitely needs to go to the NFC. Except the Cow****s. **** the Cow****s.

Tyler Huntley… “Pro Bowl” QB during his first three years in the NFL says hi.

So does Carson Wentz.

Do you consider Wentz and Huntley “top 5-10 QB’s” because they both made the Pro Bowl during their first three years in the NFL?

LMAO

any QB that does those kind of throws will be compared to Mahomes for as long as the NFL exists. It is what it is. The Next Mahomes will be an every other year thing. But, there is only one Mahomes.

What don’t you understand? Huntley was an alternate. He was not voted as one of the top 7 guys, let alone top 3. He wouldn’t count in our bet.

Wentz absolutely would though. He was playing like a top 5-10 QB in 2018.

None of the 3 guys - Sanchez, Leinart, and Darnold - you said Williams would be like has ever been to a Pro Bowl.

You bring up Wentz as a quasi-exception but I could bring up a ton of guys who all made the PB in one of their first 3 years who grew into perennial top 5-10 guys. Manning, Brady, Mahomes, Allen, Burrow, etc. Roethlisberger didn’t make the PB in that timeframe.

It’s okay if you’re afraid to make a bet on the internet that would prevent you from making such impressive hot takes for a year of your life if you’re wrong. I imagine you must derive great personal satisfaction from this sort of thing.
