This is just utter bullshit. I point out some possible concerns about Caleb (sparing him of several of the more mainstream ones). For me the biggest concern was the influence of his father, which so far has t reared its head as a pro. I’ve had some minor concerns about his maturity (skipping out on obligated pressers after losses and had some slight concerns over what I call rabbit ears).
As far as his play, the only thing I really poked fun at was that his perceived potential weakneses mirror Justin’s perfectly. I did get a kick out of that. I did praise him for the consistency in his college production, and I’m about 98% sure I said he’s a better natural passer than Justin, which he is. Though I thought Justin was plenty good enough. Caleb had detractors, and not all of them were Justin Fields fans. As noted, I didn’t criticize him for painted nails or crying to his mommy. That was low-hanging fruit that I didn’t go for. You have been super sensitive to any possible critique of Caleb. Particularly if it was off-field stuff. Guess what, off-field matters, too.
You've pointed out dozens of wildly stretchy criticisms of him for months before he was drafted.
You've poked fun at his weaknesses mirroring Justin's perfectly, which of course was an extremely obvious tell that you had not watched the guy play because they aren't really much alike at all. That was to me the #1 way to tell that a Fields fan hadn't seen much of Caleb: calling him a smaller Fields, or saying they have the same weaknesses. They play entirely different styles.
I've been as sensitive as I would be to unfounded, stretchy critiques of any player after dealing with your insane defensiveness of Fields last year. As a reminder, you went nuts on me for complimenting Fields' teammates as if that was a denigration of the guy. The defensiveness and 'sensitivity' to any founded criticism of his play was insane, and you're now projecting that on to me as a means to make the crazy shit you talked all year seem less crazy in retrospect. But we all saw it.
I get it - now that it's Williams and Fields is gone, you're on a mission to rewrite your history in the debate to seem more reasonable. It makes sense, but it's also extremely transparent.
