That's where you see the elite.

But we don't see the elite in three quarters of football, typically from Caleb Williams, to the point where his completion percentage, second worst in the league at 58.1%.

And I have heard people saying it.

I have seen it written that it's a bogus stat and we shouldn't pay attention to it.

But...

If we all are on board with Ben Johnson, which it feels like we are, Ben Johnson has not gotten much pushback in this town yet because he's been successful, he sounds smart, he literally developed a quarterback for you to the point where we all think that Caleb Williams is going to get the big, mega contract extension at some point in time.

If you do believe in Ben Johnson, then you have to hear and listen to some of the things that Ben Johnson is saying about Caleb Williams and what Ryan Poles has been saying about Caleb Williams.

And that is, Marshall, he needs to be better.

And he needs to be better when it comes to completion percentage.

Let me read you.

We've got some great audio that we're going to play here in a second.

But, Marshall, let me read this to you.

First of all, Ben Johnson to our guy Dan Wiederer of The Athletic.

He happens to host a podcast known as Take the North with George Truly, which we'll be recording later on this afternoon.

We are lucky to have Dan in Phoenix, Arizona for those owners' meetings.

But here's what Ben Johnson said to Weedman in The Athletic today, if you want to go and read the entire article.

Quote, There are going to be a number of snaps on tape where he'll, Caleb,

look at it and be like, man, I've got to put that ball six inches further out in front, or I need to put this a little bit lower, things of that nature.

Really, he's got to challenge himself.

We're going to challenge him, Ben Johnson says, but he has to acknowledge, I need to be better here.
