Why so much Caleb Williams hate? (alien.top)

A few weeks ago, you saw people saying he was a generational talent, that they would pick him (as a prospect coming out of college) over Andrew Luck, Peyton Manning, John Elway, comparing his game to Patrick Mahomes. He has lost a few games this year but Jesus, his defense gives up 33 PPG, 420 yards of offense per game and they let people score 94% of the time in the redzone.

He has 119 total touchdowns over 3 years with only 13 ints. This year he is completing almost 70% of his passes. Are you guys genuinely concerned about his ability to play at the next level or is it just nit picking at this point?

That’s a bit reductive. Some college offenses will present a steeper learning curve than others. The USC offense is particularly far afield from what tends to work in the NFL.

Also the defenses in the PAC-12 are so far away from what QBs face in the SEC or B1G (until next year, lol).

I hope he’s the next Mahomes and that the Bears land him. That would be amazing. But my main issue is with the constant talk in this sub from people who think all criticism of Caleb (or Fields) is completely unfounded and can be blamed on someone else.
