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.
