not good handling adversity, has clear skills but everything needs to be laid out perfectly for his teams to succeed. His school also doesn't do him any favors.
I dont know enough about him as a person to say this definitively - are we basing this on when we ran to his mom after a loss or didnt honor his media requirements after a loss? or based on actual feedback from coaches, people that have been in the locker room with him? there has been a lot of conjecture here but he has done himself favors with some of his actions
the maturity issues are a bit worrisome, but thats the job of Poles to sort through. I can really only go on what hes put on tape here and his arm talent & awareness is off the charts

I mean I can see Justin failing if Eberflus is a disaster this season and they make a poor coaching hire afterwards.
To me Caleb really needs structure. If someone can get him to take the layups and get more in rhythm he can be great. Its imperative that his mobility really does translate to prime Russell Wilson though.

his awareness and ability to navigate a pocket is high
also if Calebs maturity and ability to play through adversity was a problem this past year at USC, Im happy we didnt reunite him with Kliff like many Bears fans wanted. Doesnt sound like he developed him much as a leader then
one thing Justin has done well with, is lead a locker room and stay very level headed. If they replace him with Caleb, he needs to figure out how to be a pro quickly

The Caleb thing is simple to me. If the pocket movement translates he won't miss. If it doesn't he will fail.

Yep.
It is interesting to see what translates to the pros and what doesnt. People were down on Mahomes because they thought what he was doing wouldnt work in the NFL.
Johnny Manziel was eating off the Russell Wilson hype. However, he just wasnt fast or quick enough (on the NFL level) to overcome his below average arm.

Some good insight I read about him recently:

Caleb Williams has been attracting a lot of rumors and speculation from NFL fans. What's real and what's not?

So when people say he's questionable "handling adversity", that's also absolutely false. Dude has gone for the higher challenge his whole life.

I agree with this. I think he processes quickly and has good awareness. He might need to reign it in in the NFL but the reason he holds the ball and extends his time holding the ball is because he’s looking to make a play, not because he can’t see the field well

Nabers will be a crazy weapon, hes prob the best WR prospect since Chase outside of MHJ whos in his same class
LSU is just turning out crazy WR talent right now - Brian Thomas JR might crush the combine

I think Miami should extend Tua(a 3 yr Daniel Jones type deal), but draft a qb and have him sit for a year or two.
