Fair enough

I'm not a lot of fun at parties anymore, to be completely candid

I'm a freaking blast until about 9:00 p.m. and then I'm looking for an exit strategy.

There's a wide gulf between being a bust and being "as good as Mahomes."

Just because some talking heads threw it out there as a discussion point doesn't mean it's a hot take when you say you don't think he'll reach that level. None of us do.

I'm definitely not saying anyone here is implying that, like you said, that's just talking head stuff. Didn't think it was a hot take, just expressing my thoughts after seeing him play his first NFL game. I do see where the comparisons are coming from with the little no-look pass and the ability to throw on the run and improvise.

He has too much talent and too many weapons around him to be a total bust, but I think the term is sort of redefined a little for him, because anything less than a Mahomes level rise is going to be considered a bust by some people just because of all the hype he's received. That's all I was saying.

I would think you all would show more empathy for an obvious homosexual finally playing quarterback. This will help grow the sport.

It sure has helped grow Chiefsplanet as I'm sure that was a big factor in your signing up here

Maybe they haven't said he'd be as good as mahomes but it's the same tired line about being the next mahomes. To this day so many people treat every qb with a big arm and lots of throwing platforms to mahomes, as if to ignore his ability to process the game abd... way more importantly... Leadership.

I think Wisconsin chiefs got this kind of right. Caleb Williams definitely earns the talent hype and maybe he can live up to some of the talent hype. But I'm not sold on his leadership.

I just wanna hate the guy /shrug.

I mean, lol, i do believe in his talent. I do think he's the next closest thing to Mahomes in terms of off platform throwing, arm angles and so forth.

But there's just something about him....maybe it's his arrogance. Maybe it's his lack of respect for Mahomes (and i admit, im probably making a good part of that up).

And honestly, i don't care if im right to dislike him or not. I need a heel. And i've decided that Caleb is that heel.

[Kiimo]

I also want to hate him. I don't like his attitude, I don't like his face and I don't like USC.


But three throws into the game I was like welp.

[DrunkBassGuitar]

I hate him because he's not Mahomes

Caleb is definitely arrogant, but that's probably true for every high level athlete out there. We'll see if he can live up to the hype in real games, especially Playoff games. He choked pretty bad against Notre Dame from what I remember. That was probably the biggest game of his college career and it wasn't pretty.

The weird thing about Caleb is that he has the kind of confidence and arrogance that seems rooted in insecurity. Sometimes it feels like he's trying too hard to convince people hes a leader. How will he handle adversity? Way easier to handle those things when you have talent but it raises question marks. Not just if he has the balls to deliver in big moments, but will he become a Russell Wilson or rgIII type leader players don't really follow.

The glazing of Caleb in the media today has been funny to watch. Lol boy i hope the kid can deal with the pressure these folks are placing on him. Do I think he can be a good qb? Yes. But we saw this same hype around Lawrence who actually won a natty and look at him now? The hype is going to make every defense and DC want to teach him a lesson. And now it's a matter of whether he can cope with it or not. That Notre Dame game was very revealing. The moment the defense got on top of him suddenly his confidence wasn't the same. And this is what separates Pat from others because he's been held down for three quarters before but steps up big down the stretch. We'll see if Caleb has that dawg in him.

UChieffy who do you hate more? Caleb Williams or Caitlin Clark?
