Bryce Young vs Caleb Williams

[d-dave]

I'll take a stab here...

I don't know.

For many years, there has been a reliance on the mental aspect of the game.  That's why physically limited guys like Brady and Brees were able to be elite-level QBs.  Despite a lack of incredible physical talent, they made up for it with their brains.

Nowadays, you have teams that are betting on the traits. Patrick Mahomes and John Allen, two of the better QBs around, have a plethora of physical traits.  Dad bods and all.  They were drafted based on how the team thought they could build around them.  The Chiefs were already a playoff team, but Andy Reid needed his ideal QB, which is Mahomes.  The Bills bet that Allen could be a Cam Newton type if they took better care of him.

You can debate on the tools of Williams versus the brains of Bryce, but at the end of the day, I don't think either matter.  What matters is what team the guys go to.  Does that team have a plan for their QB?  Do they actually execute the plan?  Are they patient enough with the QB to let them have their lumps and learn?  Or do they toss the baby out with the bath water?

We'll see.  This should be an interesting football season!
