So I will say this…I am willing to concede that my (mostly pretty minor!) “concerns” about Caleb could easily turn out to be overly skeptical. I’d also confess that some of my skepticism is likely born of my lack of desire to see a change at quarterback.
Are you willing to concede that maybe (just maybe!) your eagerness to give him a complete pass on literally every conceivable critique could also be a mistake? I’d be surprised if you did. I can’t think of a single thing you’ve “dinged” him for.
I have not given him “a complete pass on literally every conceivable critique” in any way, that’s purely made up. I’ve said he tends to big play hunt in a way that needs to be reigned in in the NFL, that he tends to try to make every play incredible when that isn’t necessary even if he “can” make the play. I’ve said he carries the ball away from his body in a way that will result in fumbles and he needs to fix it. I watched the Notre Dame game and said he needs to be careful about trying to do too much and compounding mistakes with risky throws instead of taking easy ones which he did in that game. Those are all IMO reasonable, valid criticisms of him.
I do not think his car or the video or the golf tournament are remotely reasonable criticisms or signs that he has some bad attitude or character flaw. Those types of things are the stretchy desperate seeming “critiques” that people are making fun of. If you want to criticize his play, have at it. I may not agree but at least that’s a relevant thing that actually matters.
