I get it, people wanna stay objective. And yeah, one game is premature to use as a predicator for a career...
But i will say this, excellence usually shows itself pretty damn early in the process. If you don't see it early, it doesn't mean a player wont be good.
But GREAT? GREAT players usually show up on scene right away and then grow and maintain greatness from there.

Again, I think Allen is the comp.
Josh Allen had two or 3 games his rookie year that were as bad as what Williams did last weekend.
And Allen was another guy who simply relied on being bigger and stronger and faster than everyone he played against.
And frankly, Allen looked like hell for TWO seasons before he looked like a franchise guy. And he didn't really show much in the way of incremental or gradual improvement.
He sucked. For years. Then he didn't.
It's rare but it's the best straw for the Bears to grasp for.
Now the Broncos? They're ****ed. Because Nix DIDN'T rely on out-talenting anyone in college. He was supposed to be smart and polished. Turns out he's an idiot, he's old AND he's lacking in talent.
