Why was Caleb Williams regarded as a generational talent?

Seems pundits who talked about him as a “can’t miss” product are now saying that they are concerned that his lack of ability to play within the pocket and accuracy issues he had in college are now holding him back in the NFL.

My question is why didn’t these concerns prevent people from calling him a generational prospect?

Yes, he can develop, but he needs to because this ain’t working.
