Caleb Williams ‘ain’t gonna make it’ with Giants after crying in stands

[T200]

th
this is one of my bigger concerns about him. these fumbles happen to him when hes dancing around like a backup michael jackson dancer. if its that bad in college football, against teams who 99% of guys wont make the nfl, you can rest assured it will be WAY worse in the NFL. We all hated jones for his fumbling problem early in his career right? why on earth would you salivate over the guy with the MOST fumbles in college football. I just dont get that.

Fumbles can be fixed. Exhibit #1: Tiki Barber.

If the Giants have a chance to draft Caleb Williams and don't, it would be a monumental travesty!

You might be right, but in my opinion, I think you'd be a huge mistake for the New York Giants. I would rather have Maye, McCarthy or Daniels

different for a RB who needed to adjust how he carries and protects the ball, and a QB who is known for dancing around trying to make things happen. in order for him to stop fumbling, he will have to stop doing that, which is a huge part of his game.

Can you be more specific? Williams has no disciplinary history or any other significant problems. He's been a star on the field. He seems personable. I don't get where the negativity is coming from. I'd love to know.

When I hear "doesn't seem like the type Mara would want to be the face of the franchise" about someone who has done nothing wrong (at least that anyone knows about), I have to say, it makes me wonder what the person making that claim is really thinking.

I think Mara basically wants the Eli profile, so to speak. Even tempered on field and off, says inoffensive things to the media, does team and charity events, quiet leader. Jones fit that profile. I don't think Caleb Williams does.

Understood.

Has Williams ever said something offensive to the media or gotten in even minor trouble? If he has, I am unaware.

Williams is a 21 year old college student who has already started his own charitable foundation (see below), which has included events, partnering with other organizations, and significant capital raises. Do we know what charitable achievements Jones had accomplished by age 21? I honestly have no idea.

I fully get that Williams does not have the same personality as Jones. But do we really believe Mara will nix the idea of drafting him because of that reason? Why is Jones the paradigm for what Mara would want to do moving forward?

Also, hasn't Mara been quoted directly as saying he only vetoes a player his GM and coach want when there is a very significant off the field conduct issue? I have watched him say that before in an interview, so either he was lying through his teeth or he will have no problem with Williams if that's who his coach and GM want to go with (assuming they're in a position to get him).

Williams is my number 1 and by a good distance.

Carl makes sense but the scene highlighted is extraordinary.
