Cody Whitehair had a really nice rookie year, made a Pro Bowl, got a big contract...then seemingly forgot how to play football.  The Halas Hall difference!

So Claypool rightfully gets slammed by the media and fans, he is made to sit out and ultimately traded for nothing and this guy keeps his job and business as usual? Ok, that make sense  ::)

Ummm, the Bears benched Whitehair in the 3rd quarter.

Fair, but according to the HC it was not due to performance. Let's see what happens next week.

Will Aaron Rodgers be willing to give up some of his ownership stake when the Bears draft Caleb Williams?

Brett Favre never threw off his back foot into double coverage.  He did defraud a state of welfare money, however.

No it was usually triple coverage.

Correct.  He was a gunslinger and criminal

I know we talked about Caleb's play a little bit in the college football thread, but definitely starting to get a little buyer beware vibe coming with him.

He makes some electric plays and some throws few guys can make, no doubt about it. I worry about his size, he's right at 6', he takes too many hits for my liking, and makes some throwing decisions that are bad in college, and would be really bad in the NFL. I have no idea if the 5 teams rumor or the ownership stake rumors are true. I'll be really curious to see how Williams plays against Utah this week coming off a rough outing at ND.

Still a lot of time left to evaluate, 7 months worth, and we'll have more of a sample size over the next month.

These are good points.
I think he's still the clear favorite to go #1 (as does Vegas, he's -500 to Drake Maye's +600), but his status as a sure-thing franchise QB that you tank for has probably waned a bit.

As for him demanding an ownership stake, that's prohibited by the NFL.

Regarding the viral/infamous Cody Whitehair video.

Ted Nguyen
@FB_FilmAnalysis
This play is going viral but the center is sliding right towards his assignment. Left guard has a 1 on 1 backside. I guess in an ideal world center goes back to help with no rushers coming at him but this is on the LG.

Ted Nguyen
@FB_FilmAnalysis
Center does look back at a reasonable time but by the time he does, LG is already beat. And then there's just no one to block which leads to silliness.

The following highlights the issue with anyone having access to the "All 22". The barrier for any dope to become a football analysis is now $99.99.

Not sure if this is meant as a shot at Ted Nguyen, but he's probably the best in the (media) business at this.

The shot is not at Ted.

It is directed at the original source of the video that is using this play as a "gotcha" on Whitehair. But as Ted accurately points out, Whitehair was doing his job on the play.

Which makes sense that he was pulled out of the game for doing his job.

Glad to see someone articulate what I was thinking. Well done, Dish.
