It should be illegal to post OTA highlights. Not just against r/nfl rules but like SWAT team through your front door illegal. It's almost as bad as combine/pro day throwing highlights.
Bears fans here have been this over-protective of Caleb all off-season. You can’t make one criticism of him, even if it’s a joke. I like to lean into it.
2 things.
1) maybe just let us be excited. I’m 31 and we’ve been ass almost my entire life
2) if this isn’t a joke, oh man you’re reading way too much into this
I’ll say this. Expect people to talk crap to you until your team has a good year(s). I’m a lions fan so you’ve had more success than my team other than last year and I’m not pissy about people making dumb jokes
“Just let us be excited” my brother in Christ, you are a Bears fan and I am a Packers fan. Letting you be excited isn’t an option for me, would you let Packers fans be excited if the tables were turned?
> Don't need a Packers fan's permission to be excited.
In my time as a fan of another NFC North team, I've learned that Packers fans believe this is very much not true.
Yup, we weren’t allowed to be excited about the lions’ season even after going to the NFCCG, because you have to win an approved amount over the course of X decades in order to be happy that your favorite team is playing well.
Yeah it is really unfair. When the Packers would lose in the NFC championship game, none of the Lions fans said anything mean. They all congratulated us on a great season.
Let me make sure I got it right then. When Lions fans say it, it's smack talk. When Packer fans say it, it means they aren't allowing you to he happy. Do I have that right?
"Why aren't my opponents happy for my success!!"
most likely media fatigue nobody want to hear someone be compared to the greatest qb in the league rn before he has taken a snap in the nfl similar to how it’s easy to hate the cowboys due to always having to hear about them regardless of if they have a decent team or not
i wasnt even alive for any of this streak of dominance you speak of but i hate having to hear about the same team daily for my entire lifetime when the success hasnt matched
It was a joke. As if the last 30 years didn't happen. Also, the Cowboys reign of dominance was at best 4 years and one of those years they fell in the conference championship.
Extreme hype coming out of college and very outspoken and confident in himself. I was hating on him cuz of the hype but after seeing the amount of hate he was getting for painting his fingernails and being himself I'm rooting for him.
Idk if his play style will translate to the nfl the way fans hope, but he's been setup for success.
Hating Caleb is exactly like hating Taylor Swift. Success (which he doesn’t have yet) and talent (unproven for him) aren’t as impressive when everyone and everything in your life has catered to that goal. How many people could be successful if their parents dumped hundreds of thousands of dollars into their dreams? Also it’s fun.
That's kinda going too far in the other direction and taking all credit from Taylor tho. Yes she was able to get into the industry a hell of a lot easier than others cuz her dad, but you don't stay relevant in rhe industry for as long as she has unless you've got some legit talent.
It’s a dumbass point regardless really. Does he think Carl Williams bought his kid a Heisman? Plenty of rich kids dream of being pro athletes, get tons of support from their parents, and still come nowhere close to their goal. Whether Caleb is good in the NFL is yet to be seen but you don’t get to be the #1 overall pick just because you have a rich dad. Lol
Lol nobody on this app knows how to read I was not comparing them based on talent or ability as I made abundantly clear with the comments in parentheses. I was comparing why it’s fun to hate them Jesus Christ pick up a book.
You absolutely could have been clearer. You called the two “exactly” alike. Using parentheses afterward to sloppily point out a couple massive differences between the two doesn’t make your point particularly clear at all. You were really just poking clear holes in your own shitty analogy and now you’re looking around slackjawed wondering why everyone else thought you sounded stupid.
Nothing like a “lol nobody else can read” person who thinks their 10th-grade writing level gives them room to talk down.
No I did not call the two exactly alike I called hating the two exactly alike. Those are different things. Did you finish high school? My writing is shit if you can’t comprehend it that’s on you.
You called hating Caleb exactly like hating Swift, then immediately pointed out some key differences in their situations that make the two an unnatural comparison right off the bat.
Regardless, your point is flat out dumb because it doesn’t get any sturdier when you think past the surface level. Their situations are hardly comparable at all. Sure money can buy you opportunities, but professional sports is one of the most pure meritocracies left in our society (at least for the athletes themselves, not so much at all for coaches and FO).
>How many people could be successful if their parents dropped hundreds of thousands of dollars into their dreams?
“Successful” in general or a first round pick in the NFL draft? Plenty of rich kids get to take over daddy’s business and be “successful,” sure, but I must have missed all of the ones who get drafted first overall into the NFL because their dad is a mildly-connected real estate developer. Lol
>Also it’s fun.
Only fair argument you’ve made. If you want to hate on athletes just for the hell of it, go for it lol, I do it too. Caleb has certainly provided plenty of ammo for that. Just know that your analogy sucked and I’m not the only one who thinks so!
>How many people could be successful if their parents dumped hundreds of thousands of dollars into their dreams?
Looking at all the nfl people that got there based on family connections not as many as you'd think.
We’re talking about why people hate Caleb Williams so the answer to that rhetorical question isn’t really relevant. People who come from football families aren’t hated for those reasons because it’s expected. An outsider who has his entire life set up specifically for this purpose is fun to hate.
Breaking: Man who threw football well in college can throw football in practice
Hype is great and all, but tge only way this would be noteworthy is if he *didn't* make that throw. Practice is much different than an actual game.
And I'm saying this as someone who thinks Caleb is going to be fantastic in this league. Posting clips of OTAs is pointless
Such dramatic music for some dudes playing catch
We saw the same play made by Malik Willis. And some Stupid Lions fans said that we should take him 2.
Reminds me of a now deleted Browns hype video for Brock Osweiler, exclusively featuring training camp footage, set to an AC/DC song.
It should be illegal to post OTA highlights. Not just against r/nfl rules but like SWAT team through your front door illegal. It's almost as bad as combine/pro day throwing highlights.
It would've been hilarious if the ball went sailing into the woods. So if we could get more of that, then these highlights would have been cool.
The WRs have to jump higher!
Swat team through the door of the wrong house with the safeties and body cams off
Jim Zorn, Swinging Gate-style, unabated to the QB
This specific one is obviously okay and indicative of success in the upcoming season
Damn, Maye has been looking that rough eh?
Yeah it’d be so much more interesting for this sub to be mostly empty for 3 months
Yeah but then how is the NFL content machine supposed to keep churning? Don’t you get it: THERE CAN BE NO OFF SEASON THE CONTENT MUST FLOW
Every team basically is a lock for The Super Bowl during OTAs
One exception- I want to see guys recovering from injury on the field looking healthy (lets call it the Joe Burrow rule)
Yep, like oh wow, a QB who throws! Only LOWLIGHTS should be allowed…
That was almost as impressive as one of Myles Garrets imaginary sacks
Right after he dribbled an imaginary basketball through his legs
Doesn’t even have a pass rush coming at him yet he still feels the need to leave the pocket.
I thought it was funny
I see people can’t take a joke here lol
Feel like recycling overused bad jokes is what r/NFCNorthMemeWar/ is for though
Recycling overused bad jokes is a staple of r/nfl lmao
Recycling overused bad jokes is a staple of r/-gesturestoallofreddit- Tbf
This! Mr. Big Facts!
Yeah why not use another recycled and unoriginal Kelvin Benjamin joke instead?
Mr. Bold Concept!
No we just recycle old overused cum socks
Bears fans here have been this over-protective of Caleb all off-season. You can’t make one criticism of him, even if it’s a joke. I like to lean into it.
Some of us can take a joke, yours was mildly amusing and I gave it 1 (one) Reddit updoot.
Don’t do that. Don’t start to respect him. We are supposed to hate him no matter what. I will counterbalance and give him one Reddit downdoot
They really have
Like Lions fans stick up for Goff?? Or maybe like Packers fans stuck up for Love???
It's a bit more dramatic and aggressive from the bears loyal at this time.
And throw while jumping making him receiver extend to catch. Was only a 🎯cause it’s no padded practice.
Man bears fans are way too defensive of this kid already. This was a good joke
From anyone but a packers fan…
He’s just preparing himself just incase it wasn’t mostly Fields causing the sacks.
As a Bears fan, this is hilarious
2 things. 1) maybe just let us be excited. I’m 31 and we’ve been ass almost my entire life 2) if this isn’t a joke, oh man you’re reading way too much into this
Its a joke, calm down. Drafts are a crapshoot. No one should be taking videos from practice seriously. They dont even have pads on lol
I’ll say this. Expect people to talk crap to you until your team has a good year(s). I’m a lions fan so you’ve had more success than my team other than last year and I’m not pissy about people making dumb jokes
I am so ready to be crapped on for being good. I am going to be insufferable in return, should it ever happen.
3. You are also reading too much into this
Are you ever not confrontational?
How can Dan Campbell's nipples not be confrontational?
Most confrontational nipples in the league tbh
That's not confrontational. Lol
Or you're just a terrible person which is more likely
“Just let us be excited” my brother in Christ, you are a Bears fan and I am a Packers fan. Letting you be excited isn’t an option for me, would you let Packers fans be excited if the tables were turned?
Bears fans didn't let anyone get excited last offseason, reap the whirlwind.
[удалено]
And then you wake up
> Don't need a Packers fan's permission to be excited. In my time as a fan of another NFC North team, I've learned that Packers fans believe this is very much not true.
Yup, we weren’t allowed to be excited about the lions’ season even after going to the NFCCG, because you have to win an approved amount over the course of X decades in order to be happy that your favorite team is playing well.
Yeah it is really unfair. When the Packers would lose in the NFC championship game, none of the Lions fans said anything mean. They all congratulated us on a great season.
Huh? No one has a problem with shit talk, but I’m not surprised that you don’t understand what we meant.
Let me make sure I got it right then. When Lions fans say it, it's smack talk. When Packer fans say it, it means they aren't allowing you to he happy. Do I have that right? "Why aren't my opponents happy for my success!!"
Lol no. Again, not surprised.
Boo fucking hoo. Develop some tough fucking skin already. Or be like the Packers and lean on some vintage ass Super Bowl titles.
Cuz the Bears don't already do that??
No, he said some. We only lean on one.
Haha, fair point!
If Drake were a social media manager for an NFL team this is the type of shit he’d post
Why are there so many Caleb haters here? Dude is gonna be a beast.
I'm not a Caleb hater, I'm a "look at this professional football player throw a football in practice" post hater.
most likely media fatigue nobody want to hear someone be compared to the greatest qb in the league rn before he has taken a snap in the nfl similar to how it’s easy to hate the cowboys due to always having to hear about them regardless of if they have a decent team or not
i mean... i could easily think of plenty more reasons why ro hate the cowboys
It's our 30 year steak of dominance, right? I just woke up from 1995. I know that's how it probably went, just checking.
well jerry found his glory....hole
Jerry is still alive? I figured Barry Switzer would have taken over years ago.
i wasnt even alive for any of this streak of dominance you speak of but i hate having to hear about the same team daily for my entire lifetime when the success hasnt matched
It was a joke. As if the last 30 years didn't happen. Also, the Cowboys reign of dominance was at best 4 years and one of those years they fell in the conference championship.
thank god it was only 4 years, if they had a lengthy dynasty their hearts would have started exploding on the field from all the cocaine
You address your question with your statement. You have no idea whether he’s going to be good or not.
Yes I do
Can you tell me if I'm going to get a promotion this year please? I could really use your predictive prowess
You will not
> Why are there so many Caleb haters here? You must not watch much college football
Nah, he’s a Bear
Too many people bought into the BS that was rumored about him while he was in college.
Dude is Kyler Murray plus a couple inches
Rich kid who transfered to USC before being drafted 1st overall to Da Bears. He's easy to hate.
Isn't every QB a rich kid? Trevor Lawrence, Matthew Stafford, Peyton Manning, Jared Goff, Joe Burrow, etc.
I mean Caleb Williams was objectively not a rich kid his mom is a nail tech and his dad owns a gym. Well off sure but really just middle class.
I think his dad is in commercial real estate.
[удалено]
That's a side gig. .he's a commercial real estate developer. https://people.com/all-about-caleb-williams-parents-8630334
Aka richhhhhhh
CJ Stroud definitely was not.
Nor Jordan Love
Or Lamar
Extreme hype coming out of college and very outspoken and confident in himself.

You comparing him to Taylor Swift makes no sense as she already has success and talent.
The point is her family was absolutely loaded and her father bought their way to the charts
That's kinda going too far in the other direction and taking all credit from Taylor tho. Yes she was able to get into the industry a hell of a lot easier than others cuz her dad, but you don't stay relevant in rhe industry for as long as she has unless you've got some legit talent.

Yah I ain’t reading all that have a nice day
3 comments to get you from “No one on here can read” to “I can’t read.” Lmao

So you hate on people who set and attain goals? And this says something about them or you?
Lmao bears fan with bad reading comprehension love to see it.
The comparison to Swift stops at the painted finger nails
For some reason this made me remember this classic highlight video: https://youtu.be/G4ndiOAg0gI
It’s wild that there are going to be 2 starting QBs this year with the number 18. Other than Peyton Manning, I feel like QBs never pick that number.
Who is the other?
Kirk Cousins is going to be wearing 18 for the Falcons.
Passes the shorts check.
Looks like a young Mitch Trubisky.
So he's going to make the playoffs his second season? I'll take it
Hey, he'll win an NVP or 2 as well, you heathen.
You might want to read through to the ending of the story before you agree to take it.
NVP! NVP! NVP!
Breaking: Man who threw football well in college can throw football in practice Hype is great and all, but tge only way this would be noteworthy is if he *didn't* make that throw.

Do the bears practice in a random park or something?
Eberflus got some job security now. Give him that 6 year extension asap.
Now if every game was just played in practice without pads, we may never lose a game
Bro thinks its college still this is gonna be a massive failure IMO
Very reasonable conclusion to make from a clip of a single throw!
How many throws do I need to watch bears QBs make to predict that the next one will probably be bad?
Dear me! A **Lions** fan using past results to predict future success? Bold strategy!
They have two good seasons and act like the past 60 years have never happened 🤦🏻♂️
Almost as delusional as Brewers fans
Yah… not the best look tbh
When did they do that?
Badly ran franchises put out bad performances, no rookie QB is gonna save you from mediocrity
> Badly ran franchises put out bad performances When you put it that way I guess it does explain how you blew that 24-7 lead
🥱 enjoy 4th place
0/16 take. Try again.
0/16 take. Try again
0/16 take. Try again
He’s small and weak minded.
This sounds like you projecting.
Good luck
