    Trevor Lawrence proved that no prospect is truly unsinkable once they hit the pros, and I've always considered the "generational" talent moniker to be misleading in any sport. No prospect can truly succeed anywhere they go and no matter what coaching they receive, and it's unfair to treat them like that's the expectation.

    I think there’s a whole lotta context left out in the way Caleb played by only observing the offense. He HAD to always look for the big play with the way Southern Cal’s defense was historically terrible. Caleb scored 40+ points on average only to see every lead slip through his fingers and it’s genuinely wild to me that that gets overlooked. My heart was shattered countless times watching him NEEDING to play damn near perfect or they would lose. His sophomore season he was quite literally Superman leading that team to 11-3 and I didn’t think it could be any worse than that until watching them this season. Great vid Marcus I’ll be looking forward to the next one dude!

      that doesnt really make sense to me. If you're defense is doing poorly, you AVOID big plays, and play conservatively to allow for both your defense to rest and to control clock management. It's not like they score the longer you take to score.

      What's funny is none of the guys you mentioned were considered "generational" either, as prospects. If guys like Mahomes (10th pick), Allen (7h pick / 3 QB taken), and Lamar (32nd pick / 4th QB taken) aren't tabbed as "generational" prospects, then nobody should be considered generational. It seems impossible to actually identify "generational". Just look at how many teams whiffed on Joe Montana (3rd round pick), Tom Brady (6th round pick), and Rodgers (24th pick). Nobody knows what generational means or looks like evidently, so let's stop trying to tab prospects as such.

If he's simply a hot dog gunslinger, then he'll go down in flames. However, I don't think he's that simple. I think he will make the adjustment to faster defenders, cutting down on the scrambling. His team should also provide him with faster, more sure-handed receivers that can gain extra yards themselves, making his scrambles less needed.

The current argument here around Chicago is between keeping Fields while trading the #1 pick for a boatload of draft picks or picking Williams and moving on from Fields. While Fields can make some spectacular plays with his legs and occasionally throwing the ball, he's been far too inconsistent in his execution for me to think his ceiling is that of a Super Bowl winning quarterback.

    The issue with Caleb Williams is 2 things:
    1. He played the last 2 years in the PAC-12 which lead to him playing late games and very few got to see him play live on any sort of consistent basis.
    2. Recency Bias. USC was awful this year and wasn't anywhere close to making CFP. IMO, he is a truly special prospect. I think the term generational is a bit misunderstood at this point and honestly needs to just stop being used. He's a must have franchise QB, just like Kyler, Burrow, Lawrence and even Luck were. I put him in that category. Those were safe picks. Caleb is a safe pick.

    As a bears fan, my biggest worry about him is that in a lot of USC's losses, he was a major reason for those losses with turnovers. It did seem that whenever a team had a defense that had disguised looks, he struggled. It also doesn't help that the bears never hire any coaches who can elevate a qb so a lot of those bad traits will stay.

    As a Bears fan who has suffered through the literal Death Valley of QB’s from Cade McNown to Mitch Trubisky it is tough to give up on Fields, but low and behold we got the #1 pick again and this year “can’t miss” QBs are available.
    That said, in the last 15yrs the following QBs were “can’t miss”
    2011- Cam Newton
    2012- Andrew Luck
    2020- Joe Burrow
    2021- Trevor Lawrence
    3 of the 4 seemingly lived up to the hype with Lawrence going from “maybe it was Urban Meyer’s fault” to “maybe last year’s playoff win was a fluke”. None of them won a Super Bowl with Newton and Burrow both getting to one early in their careers but also were plagued by injuries like Luck who decided to retire early vs stick it out with Indy.
    I see a lot of similarities to those guys in Williams, whether it would be bad coaching leading to poor development, possible injuries derailing his development or worst of all he loses his passion for the game and takes his money and retires before he gets hurt too bad like Luck.

    Good video TFG. Question though, I'm wondering if when you do your final eval on Caleb, will your eval on Bryce Young from last year some what effect the eval for Caleb. Last year, you compared Bryce Young to Mahomes and so far that doesn't seem to be the case. Wondering if you've learned from that eval and believe that you will do better with Caleb. Can't wait for draft season and your coverage good luck in the offseason

      I think the pocket presence was somewhat apt in comparison to what Mahomes developed. But he also had Tyreek/Kelce by the time he started to help punish defenses attempting to blitz him. Bryce had all the bad juju going for him with a bad coaching staff designing the offense, receivers that can't separate and a non-existant run offense. He also has a shitbag of an owner to deal with too while he's arguably the best offensive player for the Panthers on the field.

    Watching him essentially see out of the back of his head when a rusher is bearing down on him on his “blind” side is kind of crazy.

    Love your point that he can play within structure but simply chooses not too. And I don't blame him for hunting for the TD or big play because USC would lose games where he dropped 45 pts. Most of the time he HAD to score. I think if he had a even slightly competent defense he wouldn't have to try to score on every play and be a bit more methodical with his throw selection

    You see the talent clear as day. However, you can't ignore he's 4-9 against teams ranked in the top 25 throughout his career and didn't look very good this year against some of the top defenses he played such as ND and Oregon. He'll be going up against the best of the best in the NFL so a lot of the stuff that wows us at the college level may not translate once he gets to the pros.

That’s 4 ranked wins between the 4 of those QB’s who are on the way to the hall of fame, I’m not gonna sit up here and say that what you’re saying doesn’t matter because that would be wrong, but if it mattered that much only Alabama, Georgia, and a few other schools QB’s would be talked about as first round talents at the QB position.

That's Justin Fields. Passing up open guys then has to go in scramble mode. The next play the hitch is nfl open. He turns it down. Anticipation?

  • @philibusters23
    @philibusters23 5 місяців тому

    It sounds like Marcus is using a similar definition to the one I am using, but my understanding of generational for the NFL is 10 years. Admittedly that number works less well for quarterbacks, kicker, punters. The idea is that a good NFL career will last about 10 years so every 10 years 90% of the players have turned over. Sure some O-Lineman might make it 14 years in the league just like some people live to 100 despite the average life expectancy being in the 70's, but in general a 10 year NFL career is a good career. You could quibble with that a QB, where the talent is more elite because unlike other positions, only one player can start for a team, and where the rules try to protect players extending their career and argue, generational for QB should be like every 15 years, but in general I like the 10 year rule for generational.
    Broadly speaking there are about 10 positon groups
    1. QB
    2. RB
    3. TE
    4. WR
    5. O-Line (and you could break that down in to T, G, and C's if you wanted)
    6. DE
    7. DT's
    8. Offball linebackers
    9. CB's
    10. S
    So a generation is 10 year and there are 10 positions, you'd expect one positional group to have a generational talent per draft cycle. Certainly some classes would have none and some would have 2 or 3.
    I do think the term generational is probably overused; however the people who complain about act like a generation is like a human generation (25 to 30 years) and that there are not 10-12 position groups so we should only hear about generational talents once every 25 years.
