Caleb is a very good QB. He has a ton of talent. But he needs a good QB coach to help him understand coverages better, and he needs better decision making skills. You cannot simply hold the ball when the defense drops 8. Mario, he can be good, but he is so small.
I wasn’t impressed with Mario last year and I’m not just saying that because he left, I was saying it last year too. He was supposed to be so dynamic with the ball in his hands but I didn’t see it, he got tackled by the first guy every time.
I’ve felt like that with every receiver the last guy recruited except CeeDee. They were all the same. Flashes of brilliance but that’s all, just flashes and then they’d disappear:

he was gifted Baker, KM1 and to some degree J Hurts so any notion that he was some sort of QB whisperer and or offensive guru was manufactured by the media- truth be told, he was just a guy in the right place at the right time.
he's been exposed and i don't expect him to have the "success" he enjoyed in the past unless some other generational guy(s) land in his lap again. the jury is still out on whether or not CW is one of those guys but to me, i don't think he is- his football IQ will never be enough to get him there

I will be interested to watch Rattler’s progress at S Carolina, he really regressed last year and I wonder how much of it has to do with TBOW’s failure to develop him or if he simply didn’t care because he was leaving. If it’s the latter it really says something about his character, but we already knew that.

I think he’ll have decent success there. He won’t win a Heisman, but I think he could surprise some people. He had all the physical tools. The problem was character and coaching. I think last season took care of the former. The latter will determine how this year goes I think.
Too bad we wont turn them on until we play in the SEC
Maybe our Kent State game and that's it hahaha ..because it's ppv
The only ppv option where I live is Soonersports.com I believe, so I will be staying that weekend at a casino where I will be in the sportsbook all weekend. First time getting to bet on sports in my own state, I never have to go to Vegas again! Opening up sports betting is really going to put a dent in Vegas’ profits.

I’ll be rooting for him, I was pretty hard on him last year before we knew TBOW had made other plans.

my thoughts on SR7 are that he is definitely a gifted kid but wasn't developed and he needed to be. Bake and KM1 didn't need that from LiaR and Hurts was already a one-trick pony so to speak so LiaR just kinda let those guys do their things- SR7 on the other hand needed to have a structured system to run- LiaR didn't deliver
so, i look for SR7 to do well out east, i'll be rooting for him anyway

Yeah me too. I think by now we all recognize the problem was not on his end. The kind of regression he experienced last year was shocking. I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything like that. QBs always improve after their first year as a starter. Not a single guy that TBOW recruited out of HS finished his career at OU. Austin Kendall, Chris Robison, Tanner Mordecai, Spencer Rattler, Caleb Williams. Every single one transferred. It takes talent to run that many guys off. All that to say, just about any situation is better for a young QB than to be coached by the old guy.

You should hear Lee Trevino recount his story of being struck by lightning on a green. He said he levitated in air (magnetic field I suppose). It was wild. And scary.

Oh yeah, you’re probably right, but I’m not subscribing to that either.
Yea, I have no reason to be but my crimson colored glasses are in full effect right now...
I don't know how much it will show in the record, but it's clear BV is addressing the issues we all saw with the last guy. By the time we reach the SEC, I expect us to be ready.
You know BV watched a lot of film from last year and knew right away what he needed to work on to get this team prepared. If most of us saw it, it was very obvious to him where to start.

Totally agree Bear. Was thinking the same thing when I read the first post on this subject. TBOW needed a QB that could do the things he couldn't teach so he looked good on the offense side. Baker, KM1, and Hurts had those things coming in. All three had previous experience before coming to OU. SR7 was raw and needed development. Once TBOW saw SR7 wasn't helping him in the areas he couldn't develop him in, he immediately went to CW. CW better shine on his own or he will be SR7-002.
Caleb is a very good QB. He has a ton of talent. But he needs a good QB coach to help him understand coverages better, and he needs better decision making skills. You cannot simply hold the ball when the defense drops 8. Mario, he can be good, but he is so small.

Same here. It's not sour grapes. All I read was about how fast Mario Williams was. I didn't see that elite speed that was advertised. He had good speed, but I wouldn't compare it to Dede Westbrook or Hollywood Brown, or even Jalen Saunders. I'd say more like Cee Dee speed.
The Williams bros did nothing with OU last year...why would they have success with a WORSE OL??

Caleb is very good. I agree with Bear, he'll need a better QB coach than TBOW if he wants to bring his game to an elite level. He really needed the benefit of a Schmidt training season to improve that weak deep ball of his. He also needs to stop the prima donna 💩 and be willing to run more when they drop 8 on him.
I hope Rattler does well, but he also needs to bulk up quite a bit. He's too little. Also needs a real QB coach to improve his game.
