Convo @IIVI, @calh45, @klientel and I had in the NFL week 2 thread
Its a debate I think deserves its own thread, what do yall think?

Yeah, especially with Sanders and some of the other players doing big things right now they've low-key took some shine off Caleb.
Caleb still the best player, but dude ain't the single-biggest news in the season anymore.
Sanders getting in that safety's face yesterday in addition to getting the GW drive with his main weapon out, with heavy stakes has me really thinking about how well that'll translate at the next level tbh.
Just cuz he ain’t the biggest news don’t mean he ain’t the clear cut best QB
Maye, Sanders, Penix etc. cannot do what Caleb can do wit a football
Caleb is terrific, don't get me wrong. The physical intangibles are there.
However, football games ain't won on arm strength, it's won by QB's who know how to win with what they can do.
Peyton Manning for example broke the season record touchdown record when his arm was a noodle in Denver.
What Sanders did over the weekend was some stellar shyt. Dude has proven that he can QB at an ultra-high level: the reads, throws, awareness of the OL, etc. Additionally, Tom Brady was his mentor and his dad probably coached him up from a DB's perspective, so the pedigree and Football IQ is all there like a Manning. Caleb is still the #1, but best believe the top 5 teams may not feel like they've lost anything by drafting Sanders.
The weird part about tanking in football is that it doesn't actually turn the team around. The last time it happened with a rookie was Lamar and I don't think Caleb is that good. Tua and Trevor required an entire team to be retooled and/or stacked to win.
I don't watch the bears enough to know if y'all have the team to have a QB be plugged in and y'all would be better. I feel like Eberflus is sneaky bad and so is y'all defense. Tanking won't replace the coach..... Y'all GM may have fukked up by not throwing the bag at Lamar. He looked rusty last week, but yesterday he was on it.
Breh I’m sorry, u see Caleb vs Utah last year? Shedeur played phenomenal, was very similar to Bryce Young’s drive vs UT last year in Austin
But I think these teams foolish if they think Caleb and Shedeur are close as prospects, I think these next two games (UO and USC) will let us know about his comp to other NFL prospects in his class
Very early in both NFL and CFB
The hype is getting out of control a bit...
Caleb looks like one of the most talented QBs to come out ever. His comp right now is Patrick Mahomes....thats insane. His comp is probably the best talent QB we've ever seen.
I love what Shedeur is doing, but him and Caleb are on different planets as far as prospect goes. I agree that the next 2 games will pretty much dictate his draft position.
USC defense is pretty mid too so I’m expecting Shedeur to perform and I’m sure scouts do too
If it’s not a shootout somebody’s stock is dropping
You can't say hype is getting out of control then say Caleb's comp is this generation's Brady. Caleb is good, but even Mahomes out of college wasn't projected to be who he is now.
Caleb is good, but if a team trades down and chooses Penix they're not losing out on a whole lot. Caleb only really has athleticism over Shedeur. I don't think Shedeur is at all close physically, but he's done more than enough to be mentioned on the same level as him play wise.
Athleticism, arm strength, off platform throwing ability
He head and shoulders over Shedeur, only thing they are similar levels at is decision making
Those are all athleticism based things. Shedeur plays with more poise and has performed better with less.....and I don't think I've seen Caleb play a game where his decision levels is displayed as being on the same level as Shedeur so I can't speak to that part of it definitively.
Bro you haven’t seen Caleb play enough if u think they close as prospects, Shedeur plays with elite skill players also
Caleb does shyt Mahomes does now, that he wasn’t doing in college that’s the difference
First. That's not completely true. Shedeur has Travis Hunter and Edwards on the offense, but his actual leading WRs? Horn and Weaver aren't starting over anyone Caleb had at Oklahoma OR USC......and neither is the TE. I don't even know the TE's name.
I've seen Caleb play quite a few times and I don't remember any times he's upset a higher ranked team as an underdog. I'm quite sure we've seen Caleb get shaken as well because he shyt the bed against Utah last year. It's the upstairs part too that matters. Shedeur beats him there. Caleb also gets off schedule when he doesn't have to. Shedeur doesn't do that. Caleb can throw the ball, but that ain't the only thing that matters as an NFL prospect.
