Penn State sure didn’t have a problem tackling him.

Cue the “but but they were game planning for him” crowd.

I’m not advocating drafting him but I’ll absolutely be fair. Penn State basically decided they would let anyone on offense beat them but Jeanty.
That’s tough for any back. That’s pretty much what Barkley would face weekly when he was on New York.

Right or wrong, I don't expect a T early this year since that was why poles took Kiran where he did last year. He was projecting him to 2025/6 and hoping to not need him last year.

Based on experience, level of competition, and pretty much all other measurable, Banks is light years ahead of Kiran. Right now, Banks is already better than Kiran and maybe even Braxton considering his injury.

The Bears shouldn’t be focused on the idea of “we spent a third round pick on this guy and we can’t give up on him.” If an immediate upgrade is available on the second most important position on the offense you take him. A 3rd pick isn’t a big deal and Kiran can still contribute and develop.

Draft the best offensive lineman available even if it’s a slight “reach” IMO.

What valid point was made? And what's true? What are these concerns that you have harbored for over a yr?
That doing an honest interview while visiting Denmark somehow inhibits Caleb Williams ability to excel at QB?

That is an incredibly mature and intelligent letter. The NFL guys had to be blown away by it. I like smart and talented. This guy checks both boxes for me.

The NFL defenders are saying, so we can't tackle you? Okay. LOL

That’s a pretty lazy take.

A useful analogy. Jeanty was on a JV high school football team. They were playing the varsity team that is one of the best in the state. The JV team has very few, if any, players that can or will ever play on that varsity team. And everyone knows it. The only reason the game is being played is because of 1 single person out of the entire team that is so good he would start over anyone at the position on the other team. Other than that, those 2 teams had no business being on the same field.

That won’t be the case in the pros, because the utter disparity won’t exist in that regard.

I made the same mistake when criticizing Banks. Mykel Williams, who isn’t close to a finished product, beat Banks over and over. That’s one game. Doesn’t mean Banks will be a bust. My issues with Banks extend past that one game though.

But to point to that PSU game without factoring in everything isn’t a logical way to evaluate him, imo.

Doesn't mean he's wrong because you don't like him. He makes valid points 100%. The base of it i guess would be "does Caleb care about his fame more than he cares about football" and that's not saying he doesn't care about football, it's just saying does he care about his fame a little too much. Absolutely valid.

Well, if he cares about his fame, he better care about football too or he'll be famous for bad reasons.

I couldn't care less about this stuff. This interview was probably a couple hours and then photos for a couple hours. I also won't listen to Canty though. He is 100% someone who says stuff to be controversial. And if he would truly care about this as a teammate, he's overbearing and needs to not worry about other people so much.

I’m just busting balls since people get all sensitive over him.

I do think the letter was kinda cocky. Like just STFU and get drafted kid. These kids talk too much these days. Wish they would get off my damn lawn too.
