[pittstang5]

Ugh, all these Lions - I just threw up in my mouth

[Frozen Tundra]

They're obviously getting some offers; they said they wouldn't consider any trades until they were on the clock. Down to 4 minutes and change now.

Caleb Williams

Overview
Williams’ play is highlighted by rare escapability paired with the talent to exploit defenses once the play breaks down. He’s not tall, but he is well-built, with an arm to challenge defenses across the field. He can be a high-impact playmaker on the go or an effective pocket passer when he allows himself to trust his eyes on second and third reads. He can improve his accuracy and placement on intermediate and deep throws, but he’s unlikely to be known for pinpoint accuracy. It is admirable that he looks to keep his eyes up and make throws outside the pocket, but he’ll make things easier on himself early in his pro career by becoming a more decisive scrambler to move the sticks and carry on to the next set of downs. Williams is tremendously talented but often bites off too much responsibility and plays off-schedule. He has a good chance to hit new heights with a surrounding cast he trusts, but greater self-discipline and a well-structured offense might be needed to help him become a quarterback who can elevate a franchise to championship contention.

Strengths
Forced to keep his team in games with high-end production and did so.
Better consistency projected with pro targets who separate.
Rapid-fire transition from fake to throw on RPOs.
Twitchy release helps generate heat on drive throws.
Puts enough pace on the ball to challenge safeties to a variety of spots.
Will reset his pocket to create better throwing angles.
Much improved at getting air under deep throws in 2023.
Touchdown-to-interception ratio of 46:1 in red zone since the start of 2022 season, per Pro Football Focus.
Keeps his eyes and arm alive when leaving the pocket.
Rare talent to feel pressure, escape and extend the play.

Weaknesses
Averse to playing throw-and-catch football on schedule.
Eyes can become sticky and sluggish working through progressions.
Must learn to throw with better anticipation/timing on the NFL level.
Hero-ball mentality creates indecisiveness and inconsistent decision-making.
Disconcerting deep-ball accuracy in QB-friendly offense.
Will throw on the move unnecessarily rather than platform up.
Passes up easy scramble yardage for more challenging throws.

Jayden Daniels

Overview
With five seasons of starting experience under his belt, Daniels possesses a rare blend of playmaking talent and command from the pocket. He’s tall but slender, so there will be concerns about durability, considering how often he ran in college. However, teams must also recognize that he has no issues sitting in the pocket and working through progressions as a platform thrower with good mechanics and footwork. Daniels possesses the football intelligence to get himself protected and take care of the football with quality decision-making. He’s an accurate passer over the first two levels and throws with anticipation to slice and dice zone coverages. He had noticeable issues putting deep throws on faster receivers in stride, though. He lacks ideal size and arm talent, but he’s much more capable as a runner and passer than most of the quarterbacks who have moved on to the next level lately. Daniels is positioned to become a very good NFL starter in a spread-based passing attack.

Strengths
Game is marked by command of the field and football intelligence.
Recognizes pre-snap pressure and has a plan to counter it.
Gets everyone on the same page when setting up protection.
Full-field reader with good rhythm through his progressions.
Willing to plant his flag and attack defenses from the pocket.
Maintains passing platform when sliding around the pocket.
Has made footwork as a passer a priority during his career.
Anticipatory thrower with accuracy and feel for attacking zone windows.
Has the running talent to turn scrambles into back-breaking plays.
Has the speed to keep defenses honest with zone-read concepts.

Weaknesses
Slender frame will lead to durability concerns.
Lack of zip creates danger for him outside the numbers.
Will drop his eyes in the pocket to scan for exits.
Below-average push and placement on deep throws.
Substantially more accurate on rollouts than as a scrambling passer.
Has a tendency to fall off of fade throws, leaving them short.
