Good move by Steelers.
Bears continue to be the quarterback graveyard.
Yep. Russ alone was dumb because I think he's so opposite of what the Steelers are, but now you add another possible guy for next to nothing, getting rid of Pickett, and they look wise.

Synopsis, please?

Basically more than half the fans do not want Caleb, which is the right take and wanted to trade back a spot or two and take MHJr and that is just done. Then you add on they all thought they were getting a great pick for Fields it's the Rosen / Murray debate x1000

I am curious if Fields was part of the Steelers meeting Russell Wilson 8 days ago? Competing with Fields is more challenging than Pickett no?

Caleb is going to be a much better QB than Fields and I don't even think it's debatable.

My Bears buddy had this 3d chess plan where they trade Fields and the #1 because he hates Caleb and they take a QB at 9

So Mulli you are going on record that Caleb Williams will live up to being the best QB in this class?

In fairness, I fully believe that the dude that bawls to his mommy after a loss isn't leading a team of men.

Caleb Williams has immense bust risk. He's confirmed everything the Anti Kyler crowd suspected of him.
Caleb is immensely talented, a true play maker. I believe that the media hype from winning the Heisman/playing at USC, the boatloads of NIL money, #1 overall pick talks, and the general ineptitude of USC's defense put him in a pressure cooker. He couldn't live up to the insane expectations and cracked. Caleb went through a lot of growing pains last year and I think experiencing that level of adversity so early in his career will benefit him in the long run.

I have way more hope for Caleb than Maye, Daniels or McCarthy. Though maybe I shouldn't considering the Bears are drafting him.

I think Celeb has the highest ceiling, but I think Maye is the more likely to succeed.

I think the most lively busts are Daniels and McCarthy.

Lincoln Riley will have coached three #1 overall drafted QB's in 6 years. That's pretty impressive. I'll put Williams in the same category as the other guys. None have been a bust and none have been great. Guys you can get to the occasional playoffs with but not good enough to win it all.

Then he'll never be a star QB in the NFL.

omg Chris I agree that Caleb Williams needs to grow up some but the kid just oozes talent.

It depends some on how well he's handled by whoever drafts him, but yes I predict he'll be at least a good NFL QB. And there's a reasonable chance he'll be a great NFL QB.

Look no further than K1 to see how growing up can change someone. Happens faster for some than others.
