Yeah. So true. If we are good, we may be ahead of GB but going to be tough to pull ahead of Detroit. Could happen but they are pretty good. 

And I agree with his premise that elite talent does not equal an elite QB, but Peyton Manning did not have elite talent? Please..... everyone wanted to draft him. The author kind of lost me after that. Everyone that was drooling after Williams always did conveniently overlook the fact that he was right about where Fields was in terms of ball release. But Fields got better (even after we tried our best to break him), so no reason Williams can't do the same. But it is never as good as having that innate ability. There are many qualities that come together to make an elite QB. And every QB is different. So they don't all have to have the same abilities. Is the ability to get rid of the ball quickly one of them? In my opinion, an elite QB has to do that because at the very highest level (playoff games) you just simply don't have the time to take your time. But other things can make up for part of that. Is Williams going to have to get faster at that? Yeah, I think so. Does he have to get into elite release time? Not necessarily if he does other things better than most. It's the complete package of skills that determine whether or not a QB is elite. I think one of the most important is processing the field. Supposedly Williams has that.

All of this to just agree with you that we won't know until we know. Until they play the games. And honestly, Williams may suck this year and still be a HOF QB. We won't know for a while. If he lights it up this year, then we know sooner. That would be the best case scenario. I don't even want to think about the worst case scenario
