They are saying this guy is a generational can't miss talent that only comes around once every 12 or so years (Peyton Manning, Andrew Luck, John Elway)
This doesn't mean that there won't be other players that end up as good (Aaron Rodgers, Mahomes, Farve, Brees, Montana, Brady) just that a generational talent has a very high probability of reaching it's potential whereas guys like Rodgers/Mahomes/Farve all had question marks coming into the draft)
