USC site/Dan Patrick: Lincoln Riley+Caleb Williams=NFL deal
- Thread starter JP4CY
- Start date
I really think Caleb is going to be a bust. Give me a QB that had to throw into tight windows because their WRs weren’t constantly running free and open.
Wouldn't surprise me if Williams/Riley aren't a package deal Williams dad has been posturing that it isn't a done deal that Caleb leaves for the NFL this year.
Riley is the only coach Williams has known at the collegiate level and the Williams family might feel his best chance of NFL success is in Riley's offense.
With NIL, its not like elite college football players enter the NFL broke. So a hold-out or having a list of teams they are willing to play for might be possible. Heck Eli Manning did it back in the day. Refused to play for the Chargers.

Also a QB with great anticipation who will begin the throw before the WR comes out of their break. (See Purdy)
If I'm the Bears and have the #1 anyway, I'd seriously consider giving the whole set of keys to Harbaugh.
I'd still rather give him a chance rather than have McCarthy
Williams is a better Baker Mayfield, it might work for awhile but teams will figure him out. He can play backyard fb at USC because of the talent. That wont work at the next level for long.
ya, lots of people saying hes the best prospect since trevor lawerance and andrew luck. i dont see it. but im also dumb af
Williams is gonna be great, but he’s gonna come with headaches clearly. Drake Maye might be my pick though
He’s touted by many as greatest prospect since PManning. While he has had impressive games, he’s also had great weapons around him. The few times he’s faced adversity, he’s looked average.
He has absolute talent, some impressive throwing angles, and is a bit of a mix of Mahomes and peak ARodgers. But I could see him panning out more like Kyler Murray just as easily.

But again, Mahomes and Rodgers didn’t have USC type talent around them. It’s hard to know what exactly he can do when his WRs are getting miles of separation on their routes. It’s hard to take coaching when it’s easy.
Go through the QBs in the NFL. How many of them were from a top tier college program? There are certainly some, but it seems very skewed towards guys from that second tier or lower.
