Sad thing is we will be doing this for a few months now. Gotta feel sorry for these kids at times.
Yeah it is and I'm going to hate it. It's especially sad since none of this is going to have any effect on Poles' decision process. So the guy is just publicly defaming the kid for no reason other than to make himself feel smart. It's a whiney rant disguised as analysis.

Yeah, the tweet (the X just doesn't sound right) has some interesting stuff I didn't know about. And yeah, just like the author, it kind of reminded me of Manziel. I have to leave it to the guys upstairs to sort it out, but I saw more than a few red flags with this guy

In the full tweet he actually compares some of his traits to Manziel. After watching that doc on Manziel I don't see it. From what I have read about Calab is he loves playing the game to a fault. Manziel just played for the show, the after party.

I was surprised how fast Manziel made it to the NFL. My dad was an A&M alumnus and was a big Aggies fan for his whole life. From what I was hearing form my friends and family down in Texas, everyone thought Johnny Football was a complete jerk and a total a-hole.
I don't think Williams has anywhere near the issues the Manziel had/has. I just think he got anointed with the "generational" tag and then the hype/hyperbole machinery went into overdrive. Wherever he lands in the NFL, I just hope he is mentally and emotionally tough enough to handle all the BS that will thrown his way.

And that BS being blown around at him will be quadrupled here in the Windy City.

With the way he has been way over-hyped, it will be anywhere he goes. Let's say he goes to Philadelphia, Baltimore, or New York. How fast would that video of him crying with his mother resurface in the fan base after a particularly bad performance?

+1,000 The more I read about Caleb, and listen to his comments, the more he sounds to me like a REALLY good young man.
All this Caleb stuff about him being immature or fragile seems really overblown to me.
But it's up to Poles to vet all that. If he uncovers something really concerning in the interviews, then yeah maybe he pivots in a different direction. But I doubt it. I would wager a large amount of money right now that Caleb is the #1 pick and the Bears are taking him. It's gonna take something major to derail this train.

Boy, that's risky MP. You know how the Bears look for almost choir boy kind of character and mental toughness. I'm not sure Williams is going to be their guy. This is definitely one to order popcorn, sit back and watch. I have no idea how this is going to come out.
