It's Waddle and Silvy but they're reporting some vets wanted Williams benched.
Blasphemy

Are you a packers fan or something? lol This is like the third snarky comment seeming to enjoy negativity around Williams. Seems really odd IMO.
Seems odd you'd find it odd. Waddle and Silvy reported some vets wanted Williams benched. I don't think there's any way that will happen as the narrative is this is mostly a coaching problem. Thus "blasphemy
"
I thought I'd been pretty reasonable in this thread. Last comment was, "A great deal of this is the easy one - the game is just really difficult at this level. It's a big jump, even from a program like USC."
I wouldn’t call USC a hotbed for QBs. Carson Palmer 2002? Look at the mediocre QBs from that school.
Sure, you can make that argument, but you are forgetting that
Matt Leinart was a first round pick,
Matt Barkley would have been a first round pick had he come out early,
Cody Kessler was a 3rd round pick,
Sam Darnold taken #3 overall, and then some not so good QBs before Williams arrived. Not all QBs pan out at the next level, but to say USC isn't good at producing QBs isn't accurate. How have the QBs from Ohio State done (outside of Stroud)? Or Georgia (outside of Stafford)?
Those QBs you mentioned are mediocre and some are below mediocre. USC hasn't produced a decent QB since 2002. At least Stroud and Stafford are within the last two decades.
And yet Darnold is having a better season than Stroud....
How has he looked the last few weeks? Yes, he's the same old Darnold and will hit the bench in 2025, or someone's bench.
Darnold is turning back into a pumpkin. He is Darnolding
Is he? He probably is turning back into a pumpkin but, he's not nearly as bad as people want to believe. I'll use Stroud as a point of comparison.
Darnold last four games 74%, 1,030 yards, 6 TD, 6 INT, 8.3 y/a
Stroud last four games: 53%, 794 yards, 2 TD, 2 INT, 6.6 y/a
Stroud first four games (with Nico): 68%, 1,054 yards, 6 TD, 2 INT, 7.6 y/a
Darnold first four games: 69%, 932 yards, 11 TD, 3 INT, 7.6 y/a
