Deception
(30%)
The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the author claims that Caleb Williams has 'franchise-altering upside' and is a natural thrower with accuracy/velocity from a variety of platforms and arm angles. However, this statement contradicts itself as it implies that he can power the ball into tight windows while stationary or on the move, finesse the ball when needed, has lightning-quick hands in the RPO game and make defenders look silly in space. These statements cannot all be true at once as they are mutually exclusive. Secondly, Jeremiah claims that Williams' performance cracked open a door for other candidates but still remains too tantalizing to overlook as the top signal-caller available. This statement is contradictory and shows bias towards Williams.
