My Honest Opinion on Caleb Williams

 This is another year where you have multiple options of a quarterback to be the face of your team and you can either crush it and get a quarterback like CJ Strout and make the playoffs their rookie year, or get a quarterback like Bryce Young who unfortunately has had a very tough rookie year and I do not know how promising the future can look for him. With quarterbacks like Drake Maye, Jayden Daniels, JJ McCarthy, and a couple others, he has some competition for the #1 pick. Here is my honest opinion on the expected #1 pick of the 2024 NFL Draft.



Caleb Williams started as a 5 star, 2021 Washington D.C. Player of the Year committing to Oklahoma following another star quarterback, Spencer Rattler. He started that season doing a great job as a backup quarterback getting some reps in the blowouts, showing the coaches how he can do. He was not expecting to get too many reps or opportunities throughout this season, just helping out as a backup. But on October 9th, 2021... Everything changed. One of the biggest rivalries in college football, Texas and Oklahoma in the big stage and the first quarter ended terribly with Texas up 28-7. Oklahoma needing a little switch up and changed quarterbacks to put in Caleb Williams and he did not disappoint. He made is HUGE plays when Oklahoma needed him the most and even had an early heisman moment on 4th down to secure the victory. He ended the game with 212 yards passing with 2 touchdowns and 88 yards rushing with a touchdown... talk about a first game showing. 




After his impressive season, he got up and followed his coach to USC for his sophomore year. The guy absolutely killed it having 42 interceptions with only 5 interceptions AND WINNING THE HEISMAN AS A SOPHOMORE. He showed his pure ability and showing his ability to win the games when needed. He can run, throw, and throw on a the run. He was proving to everyone that he was capable of being a quarterback that can put the team on his back. Unfortunately, for his Junior year, things did not go as plan with USC losing a bunch of games they shouldn't have, but he still was able to show his ability. His stats slowed down a bit 30 touchdowns and only 5 interceptions but also had 112 less passes thrown. He still had his magical plays where he makes something out of nothing, and still was able to put his team in the game even if sometimes the got the loss in high scoring games. 

I understand sometimes when looking at a player and to see if he is worth being the #1 draft pick and it is tough to see his Junior season record not being as good as it should have been (8-5). But, he was still able to show out and have his team score points even if they unfortunately lost the game. There are a lot of good candidates to be the #1 pick with a lot of successful quarterbacks, but with the college resume that he has shown, he deserves to be the #1 pick.

Dawg in Him

 Every year in basketball, there is a player that talks the talk and is able to walk the walk. There's players like JJ Reddick, Jalen Rose, Grayson Allen, and is the new one now Cam Spencer? Uconn's starting shooting guard is a 5th year senior that has been to 3 different schools and this year is now getting the spotlight of college basketball. Cam Spencer starting his college basketball career at Loyola Maryland, where he played for 3 years where he averaged 10 Freshman year, 10 Sophomore year, and 19 Junior year. After his successful junior year, he transferred to Rutgers for his Senior year averaging 13 points a game as the team went 19-15 and now has transferred for his 5th year going to the reigning national champions Uconn Huskies. I never watched him play until this year, but quickly has caught fans attentions as he has been making multiple clutch shots during the season and has been talking trash along the way. The first time I found out he is not someone to mess with i

Love Is Blind 3 New Episode Reactions

Image
 I think it is very smart for Love Is Blind to bring out the episodes 3 at a time because now I have to wait and wonder what is going to happen for the next episodes when they come out. It is making me crave this television show even more. It is like people having the extra urge to have Chic Fil A on Sunday... just because you cannot have it makes you want it more. With these 3 episodes, some couples already completely ended, some have had some ROCKY moments, and some are absolutely thriving. I was completely wrong about this couple. I thought because they both were such caring and kind people that they would match and just be in love forever, and that did not happen. They were on vacation with the best view and best things to talk about and it was completely awkward on that boat ride for about 25-30 minutes... thank goodness a dolphin came up for one of them to say anything at all. She was angry he was not showing her love, and he seemed like he was done with his vacation vibe and wen

Casino First Timer

 As I sit here, watching sports, wishing I was making some +10000 parlay and make it big and retire at a young age, I think about the first time I went to the casino. I went to a glorious casino in Connecticut called Foxwoods where I walk in being the big spender I am... I brought $300 for a 2 night event. There's 2 ways it could go leaving the casino after the trip; either walking out with so much money in my wallet that I couldn't close it, or, drive home hoping I have enough gas to make it home hoping I have enough food in the fridge for the week. But that first night, oh that first night was a MOVIE! And when I mean movie, I mean going from 300 to 450 so making a remarkable 150 that night. I walk into the place and I was looking like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory just being in awe of everything and trying to soak it in. The bright lights, the cheers, the smell if cigarettes, feels like I was Daniel Jones in the great Metlife Stadium. I was hitting in all ends that night
