Clearly the best pocket passer in this draft, as well.

Hell, even if it was only this part of his game we were getting, and he didn't also have the creativity/elusiveness+vision/arm angles/etc, he'd still be the best prospect in this draft and best since Luck.

With a little Luck things will be ok.

Plenty. It's the Shanahan offense. Wide zone play action. I'm guessing they'll still run some power as well because of the Oline coaches influence. They're good at it.
It seems like the highlights of CW are from him taking snaps from the gun.

That's the vast majority of college offenses. He'll have to adjust. I think he could be deadly under center play action. Just based on his footwork, vision and lightning release.

It would not surprise me in the least if CW has come across CCS forum posts in random google searches about himself.

So... With that said, I will reiterate.

CALEB. You will OWN the City of Chicago if you win championships here. If you win multiple Super Bowls, the people will elevate you OVER Michael Jordan.

The End

Impressive to say the least. But, did you see there hardly was any pressure in the middle of the line. This will be totally different story in the NFL..
You're not going to find the ideal QB prospect with the ideal skill set coming from the ideal offense with the ideal record against great teams coming into a team with the ideal offensive line coached by the ideal offensive coordinator and QB coach with the ideal skill players around him to succeed. Some of you are looking for flawless perfection for every possible scenario that could exist for a kid and it's getting annoying.

I think you're overstating the concerns all the Caleb doubters have.
I don't think they are looking for everything to be ideal.
Just a broader set of skill and traits that transfer to the NFL.
I think this is total justified when you look back at some of the gross mistakes we've seen a few teams make over the past 4-7 years.

For example:

The 2020 the Chargers wasted the #6 pick on that Oregon QB who mainly threw screens and other short passes because his own college coaches didn't trust him. Who's a better judge of talent? The college coaches who are around him day by day or some front office types that just watch a little film and do a few interviews all the while believing "We can coach him up."

Or in 2018 when the Ravens not only wasted the #32 pick, but also blew pick #52 to trade up and take that glorified RB at Louisville who "played QB" but could barely throw an NFL level pass and only completed 57% of his throws in college.

Again in 2018 the Bills lit the #7 pick on fire when they drafted that kid from Wyoming. Hell even Wyoming didn't want him at first, he had to play a year of junior college ball just to get his one scholarship offer from a DIV 1 school. His completion percentage was even worse than the Ravens kid in college. He also got stomped the few times he faced good competition.

Finally, and worst of all, was in 2017 when the Chiefs wasted the #27 and #91 in 2017 and a first in 2018 just to move up and then wasted #10 on a guy from Texas Tech who only put up video game numbers because he played in a gimmicky college offense. All he did was run around half the time and play out of structure. You can do that in college sometimes but not the NFL. Hell it didn't even really work in college, he had a losing record at Texas Tech.

I kinda like how he doesn’t give a **** trying to sell the PA, never takes his eyes off the routes/coverages.

Caleb's quick ball release is very noticeable. Arm speed is on another level.

in comparison, Justin Fields looks like he throwing in slo mo, lol
Uh oh, Bust likes a player? Say it ain’t so.

I am light years more pumped about the CW addition than any other prospect and that includes Jimmy M and Walter.
My Bears apathy level the last few years has been at a lifetime low.
CW is going to restore my Bears excitement level to the 80's level.
oh happy days.
