Let’s talk about that moment. You know the one.

Overtime. Green Bay. Twenty-mile-an-hour whipping winds. Game on the line. Caleb Williams releases the ball, and before it even lands—before the result is even official—he sticks his hands right back into his hand warmer and just stands there. Watching.

He knew it.

You can call that cocky. You can call it arrogant. But if you watched triple-digit hours of film on this kid before he was drafted—like I did—you’d know to call it exactly what it is: Inevitability. That is who Caleb Williams is.

But all season long, there’s been this nagging narrative that just won’t go away. It’s the one mistake Ben Johnson made: setting that unrealistic bar of a 70 percent completion rate. It’s a great goal, sure. High standards are fine. But let’s be real for a second—that was never going to happen.

And frankly, the obsession with it is irritating. Why? Because 70 percent doesn’t happen for the greatest quarterbacks to ever play this game.
