When Caleb Williams blows up I can’t wait to shove it in this smug POS’s face. This “scout” has been going off on Caleb since before the draft using disingenuous arguments to make him seem smart.  He really went crazy yesterday
 

That "scout" should just tweet "I hate Caleb Williams" and save whomever reads it a lot of time from his rantings.

Former scout

 

For very good reason.

CJ Stroud last preseason:

11/20

89 yards

4.5 YPA

1 TD

1 INT

Man that guy must have really sucked last year.

That’s it, because even in a “down” season Caleb still put up better numbers than Rattler and his team was 7-5 vs 5-7.

The man can't even review pizza properly, his scouting opinion means less than nothing.

It's more that he cast his Evil Eye upon them in the first place.

and i'm pretty sure even that's only very loosely true

[CubinNY]

On Twitter anyone can say they are anything or a former anything. 

[Soul]

Why would a former scout need to sneak that in as a preface to every post?

 

Also, he “went there” alright.  Not with the Williams/Bagent comparison but with the body language poop.  Even if he was a scout of some renown his opinion would mean little to me after that.

[BigSlick]

We're so damned close to the season. I'm so excited to see the Bears look like an actual pro football team running a professional offense. 

I'm probably jinxing it by even saying it but I'm reasonably confident the Bears will look normal. For once!

Sorry for adding a ton of tweets, he’s just really got my blood boiling. This dude was a scout and he’s using completion percentage over a sample size of 20 throws (ignoring 2 awful drops), and perceive body language as his arguments?  Come the F on

I was gonna say he shouldn't pay attention to that nobody even for motivational purposes, but then again, MJ had LaBradford Smith.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Yeah I'm having fun breaking down the preseason but the reality is we don't know a single thing right now that we didn't already know from Williams' college tape.

Man, these guys are so fun.

 

If this hits the way it potentially could over the next few years, it's going to easily clear the 2015-16 Cubs for me, which I NEVER could've imagined myself saying even 6 or 7 months ago.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

I forgot it was hard knocks night, that's how quick my interest in it fell off.

Good episode except for the barstool dipshits

I don't like a third for Judon.  It's starting to feel less like a long-term sustainability approach and more like a tank and spank rebuild.   It won't matter if Williams is who we hope he is.

I don’t know what tank and spank means. But the whole point of winning with young QBs in the NFL is surround them with more talent expensive talent now because you won’t be able to do that in 4 years.

Tank and spank is when you throw away a few years in order to be awesome for a few years, then go back to being bad again.  Alternating cycles of rebuilding and "all-in" instead of a steady, sustained success.

The rookie QB thing hasn't realy worked very often in the NFL.  Under the current rookie contract rules, the only ones to win a SB in their rookie deals have been Russell Wilson and Mahomes.
