I'm not saying you're wrong but is this true? Even if he's open, if Calebs's got the defense in his jock before he's taken three steps from center, does he have a chance at seeing it?
Caleb is currently a better QB than Fields will ever be. And Caleb has not obviously not been great.
Also it’s a good thing they didn’t trade that pick for a haul because that’s less draft picks for Poles to screw up
I’d have to dig the posts up, but I’ve seen some film nerds on Twitter show several occasions where Rome is open and Caleb has time, but Caleb just checks down. To your point though, if he can’t get comfortable back there, he won’t have time to take it all in.
I'm not sure Williams trusts Odunze on the more vertical choice routes right now. On one play in particular last night towards the end of the 2nd quarter, Williams threw a nice ball to Odunze who broke off his route and settled when Williams was expecting him to continue the over.
It's what Chicago does best.
Odd usage for sure. My only guess is that DJM mainly fills the X and K Allen is the slot guy. But the truth is, I have no idea what's going on in this offense 70% of the time. Kmet's usage has been here there and everywhere. DJM should be the primary Z because of his dynamic playmaking ability, yet here we are. Almost no bunch/trips formations. Very little motion. It's confounding.
Pizza and destroying young QBs!
This. I still put 95% of the blame on him for that fiasco on Thanksgiving. An NFL Qb needs to be able to call and execute a play in the two minute offense in less then 30 seconds, not force his coach to call a timeout on 3rd and 20 when they HAD to have a FG (and still needed 10-15 yards for that). Eberflus took all the blame, but TBH I didn't think he should have called his last timeout at 32 seconds either. Caleb completes a 10 yard pass over the middle and they would have needed that timeout. But the option to go over the middle would have SIGNIFICANTLY aided completing that 10 yard pass.
Guys on Sirius were talking about this and said at least some of it is on Caleb for holding the ball far too long. That line won't be confused with Philly any time soon, but they probably aren't league worst type bad either
No doubt some of it is on Caleb, it’s almost never all one side. I give a little grace for a rookie with crappy coaching.
I'll disagree some. All season this team has had awful clock management. The coaches have to reign the rookie qb in when they see things spiraling. Coaches let veteran qbs handle those situations. Caleb hasn't proven that he should get this trust from the coaching staff.
Right. Two things can be true.
Then he just needs to cheat; like Captain Kirk or Tom Brady.
The Bears always sign 1st time HCs and it's constantly an issue. Just too cheap to develop their investment at qb correctly.
yeah, bad coaching, but even worse..... bad line play.
TBH, if a QB can't do this, he isn't ready to be on the field.
this could be true and/or they just end up drafting bad ones but during the game there was that graphic that showed that the Bears just fire their coaches all the time. They are very fickle and a lack of stability. After Cutler there's just been a carousel. Now maybe Barkley and Trubisky weren't that good but I think they could have likely won with Feilds. I guess I can understand the argument that after X years you can tell if this QB or this coach will pan out but at the same time that lack of stability isn't helping.
They do it backwards. They draft a qb to go
In a salary cap league, teams don't have that luxury anymore. Even more important to have a coaching staff with a clue, and not waste TO's on frivolous challenges.
I haven't watched many bears games, but my eyes told me otherwise against the seahawks. He didn't have a chance in that game, even with the mobility he showed.
so bizarre, like your job is the OC and you're not going over film with your rookie QB, what exactly was he doing then
Working on his Ditka impression.

I get that view but devil's advocate was he wrong? Bears were a dumpster fire last year.Y’all seent this?
Kinda makes me want to root against him a little bit tbh. And his father - yikes.
Caleb Williams wanted to spurn the Bears, join the Vikings
New Seth Wickersham book has stunning details of QB's pre-draft strategy.
I mean, good for Caleb for putting his best foot forward and playing for the Bears and all. This looks to me like a team putting all the pieces in place to ensure Caleb’s success. I just don’t often see players headed to the draft with this level of… arrogance seems like the right word? Peyton Manning, maybe, but I didn’t love that situation either.
Yeah, I can see that but it still comes off as very entitled and arrogant & kinda rubs me the wrong way. Maybe I’m a different generation.
I see it the exact opposite way. I see it as Caleb has a good head on his shoulders despite his dad's terrible advice.
I am along @travdogg line of thinking. Should his words to his father's ever seen the light of day? I am sure we have all had concerns about decisions in life. Caleb has done nothing short since walking out on that stage of being 100% Chicago Bears through and through. He might have preferred other destinations, but he's been a professional about the decision.
I mean, that’s not opposite. I gave him credit, clearly.
Yes, I agree also - I was speaking towards his attitude before he came around.
