Unless its a screen, Caleb tends to hold on to the ball for too long and doesn't make the reads quickly. Obviously, with fields being in the league for 3 years now, it's a bigger concern for him because you'd Williams would be a rookie- so that's something you'd expect. For me, I'm not sure if drafting Williams puts the team in a better position to win a superbowl when the trade off is getting 2/3 more top-tier skill players. I'd have to see how Fields plays for he rest of the season but its frustrating because the Getsy won't call real plays. He's in the evaluation stage, so call real plays and let him fail or succeed.
Ultimately, I have the feeling we'll move on from Fields and draft Williams. Best case scenario, he'll be Kyler Murray but a lot bigger and a little less loose (somewhere in between Russell Wilson and Murray).
I don't know if Williams holds on too long due to any fault of his. His WR's are legit terrible. If you watch any of the film breakdown on him, he usually has to scramble until a WR is open, but does a good job of keeping his eyes downfield and then makes the throw perfectly. He's also really great at changing his arm angle to throw around defenders and still puts the ball exactly where it needs to go.
These are things that Fields cannot do. If you gave William's arm talent to Fields, then you'd probably have the best QB in the history of the NFL (Field's pure running with Williams arm talent).
Now Williams did a ton of quick processing and throws when he had a better line and WR group last year when he won the Heisman. Watching his film, he looked very much like Mahomes did last night with a sub-par receiving group. It's almost uncanny.
Will Williams be an elite NFL QB? Who knows. It's such a crap shoot. I'll just say that I would feel comfortable picking him #1.
