2/8ths? Those can't be real.

4 inches taller than Bryce Young. Hussra can stop posting his drivel now

Indeed. Photos of him next to guys like Stroud prove he’s much taller than guys like Young too. Williams is fine height wise, he’s eye to eye with guys like Mahomes, Rodgers, and Stroud. People are just bored right now because there’s no real news.. idle hands and all..

Let me tell you why Michael Pratt should be the #1 pick...

It's beyond being bored with Caleb Williams. They're actively trying to destroy this kid. I don't recall seeing people outright lie and manufacture outrage like they're doing with him. It's disgusting.

Relax. Caleb Williams be fine

I think he will be. That doesn't make the media's behavior less disgusting.

In fairness Nas has a point. This has been a real bizarre draft time news cycle in regards to Williams. Tbh, I think a lot of it is the fact his team didn’t perform as well this year as the year before and they’ve been sitting on the ‘can’t miss prospect’ thing for so many years now that the only way to stand out is to be contrarian. Or, be the guy that ‘called it’ if he doesn’t play as well at the next level.


I think it will get ramped up even more if the Bears do indeed move on from Fields soon. Then you’ll see a wave of ‘experts’ yelling about why this guy or that guy is a better bet for #1 overall than Williams.

Why though? is it the media, fans or both? Who cares if his dad is outspoken. Why is that a bad thing? Isn't the narrative always that the dad is never around for the black youth. Media loves the story of the poor black kid from a broken home somehow defeating the odds and making it to the NFL. Maybe his momma worked 3 jobs to buy him his first football and put food on the table. While the dad was in jail. They love that story, but when a kid comes from loving two parent home in middle class suburbia... No can't have that. Oh he painted his finger nails and cried.... Hell No! Only the white snowflakes who fit the script get to do that!

What’s funny to me is.. if Washington had this pick I doubt there’d be as much noise. The narrative would just be ‘well he’s the hometown guy’ and so on. But because it’s the Bears, the volume is cranked all the way up.

Feel bad for C-Will, he lost to U-T-A-H because he sucks and not due to any inherent disadvantage.

I figured give the guy a break, being 5 something would explain losing to a bunch of slow Mormons year after year; but, nope, C-Will just plain bad against the mighty Utes.

That's not it. The kid's a prima Donna. That's not a media narrative either. It's a Caleb Williams narrative. Guys that talk a lot of shit without having ever proven anything tend to not be well liked. Doesn't matter if you’re white or black.

He put up 32 points! Fields put up more then 32 points TWICE last year If he scores more then 20 you all are ready to put him in the Hall of Fame.

So Lebron is not well liked then?

It's really weird. It's primarily the media. The fans buy into it because they don't have a reason not to. I have tried to understand why the media is going to these extremes, but I can't find the answer. Historically, we don't see a kid like that get torn down unless drugs are involved or if he has some other off the field issues.

Justin Fields is 3-12 against the NFC North in his career! So this is acceptable to you?

In comparison to Michael Jordan or Kobe Bryant, no he isn't.

What did HE say that makes you think he is a prima Donna?

yeah, why are people questioning a guy from a blue-chip program with top 10 recruiting classes full of 5 stars who went .500 in conference his final season and 0-3 against a bunch of future door-knockers career

I'm not a businessman. I'm a business, man! And that's just for starters. Asking for a piece of whatever team drafts him is another.

What You do know that the youth of today think Lebron is the GOAT. Try telling them Jordan and Kobe are better and see how they react. Off course our generation thinks Jordan and Kobe are the GOAT. Just like the previous generation thought Chamberlain and Russel are the GOAT and the next generation will think X player is the GOAT and so on until the end of time.

What? Jordan still laps LeBron James when it comes to GOAT. And that's even amongst the youth of America. His shoes easily outsells LeBron year in and year out. And LeBron is often credited with everything that is currently wrong with the NBA. That never occurred with Michael Jordan.

No one likes guys who talk shit without backing it up. He hasn't proven anything yet to hear him speak you'd think that the only thing left for him to do before he enters Canton is write his acceptance speech. Can we at least get through 1 Preseason game first?

Caleb was 18 when he made the business, man comment. I bet you have said alot worse then that at 18. You post stupid stuff all the time and your a grown ass adult.

Caleb never asked for a piece of the team. “The representatives of USC quarterback Caleb Williams had been making it known to prospective agents that Williams wants partial ownership." More media bullshit that you fell for hook, line and sinker.

I would be more concerned if he said these things, "Fields says he’s being given too much info by Bears coaches, needs to trust instincts" or

". “I wasn't necessarily playing my game,” Fields said. “Felt like I was kind of robotic and not playing like myself. My goal this week is just to say 'F it'"

"That includes thinking less and just going out there and playing off of instincts rather than so much info in my head, data in my head."

"I’m going to say dump all the ‘what I should do,’ this and that, pocket stuff. I’m going to go out there and be me.”

Enemies of the people
