Caleb Williams QBR Tracker

Depends, if you are always playing from behind, you are in more predictable situations (more passing). That is why Caleb ended up with the most passing attempts amongst rookies. 

If you look at most QB splits, they are worse when playing from behind. So if you are playing behind more, your numbers should be lower. Caleb was within 30 passing yards of Daniels on the season. 

So with an even playing field, Caleb will clear all the other rookies. 

The indictment is because he was always behind.  Lowest first quarter scoring in the NFL.  It wasn't the defense.

I'll put some of this on caleb because I think he held the ball too long early in the games trying to be safe or get the sure thing.  4th quarters it was do or die and he threw the ball into tighter windows.  Get him a oline and a RB with more punch and he will improve earlier in games.

During his final press conference when asked about who or what he wanted in a new coaching staff he said he wants to be challenged.  He admitted or mentioned several times the need for him to improve his ability to play on time or within the timing of the play.  Caleb is pretty smart and is already reading defenses well just not making decision quick enough.  He setup the final play that got us the game winning FG.  Thomas Brown said he called for triple stack of WRs on the right with DJ in one on one coverage with intent of DJ going deep and taking a chance on a game winning TD.  Caleb told DJ if he saw coverage over the top to break it off to the slant we saw.  DJ listened to him and we won the game.  Little details like that have me very optimistic for what we'll see next season.

I am curious what people think of CJ Stroud, he was the golden boy last year, little brothered Caleb this year and now looks like a bottom 3rd QB. He now has 19 TD with 12 INT and 52 Sacks on the season, and that is with Mixon at RB, had Dell back for a good chunk of the season and had Diggs for the first half. He doesn't look like the same QB

Well they did manage to make the playoffs with him as QB two years in a row.  Also with former LB and former DC DeMeco Ryans as HC.  🤷🏻‍♂️

And their new OC who has fallen out of favor with fans, Slowik.  Slowik is going to interview for the Jets though.

And their WR corps and oline were decimated this year.

That just shows you on how much support from all other positions affected his play. His great rookie yr was because his OL stayed healthy.

The perks of playing in the perennial worst division in football every year. It doesn't take much to win that division.

That said, it's still a testament to their coaching that they were able to hold it together despite all of the injuries. I still believe Stroud will bounce back and that you can't really get a good idea on how good a QB really is until after his 3rd season.
