Chicago Bears Media Already Forgot The Only Thing That Mattered In 2025: Finding Out If Caleb Williams Is Good
One and only one thing truly mattered for the Chicago Bears entering 2025. Finding out if Caleb Williams is good. And you know what? It looks like I'm the only one that remembers this. We might have the dumbest fans and media in the game. That's just a fact. The quote above makes my brain want to boil. This might actually be a worst case scenario David Haugh is trying to pass off as a good thing. When the rest of the team is playing well and the quarterback isn't, that's a sign that the quarterback is bad.
The Bears are 4-2. OK. And? How'd that work out for us the last time we were 4-2? When was that again? Was it last year? It was last year, wasn't it?
It was last year.
Caleb Williams has shown zero growth in the one thing that really, really, really matters for an NFL quarterback. The ability to throw the ball to the receivers so that they can catch the ball. He's gotten much better at avoiding sacks, which is fantastic and shows he's absolutely putting in the work. But accuracy is accuracy. You pretty much have it or you don't. And that was the entire reason we all correctly identified Williams' development as the only thing that mattered in 2025 with an all-time coaching prospect and revamped offensive line. Everything was in place to help the best anticipated prospect since Andrew Luck get unlocked from the joke of a 2024 coaching staff. 4-2 doesn't matter. Fixing the run game vs the Saints doesn't matter.
Only Caleb Williams using the tools he would need show his true self and become more accurate mattered. And you know what? He has those tools. Everyone of them. Coach. Blockers. Receivers. And he's shown next to nothing.
After Week 1:
Congrats on that Offensive Player of the week though vs the putrid Cowboys defense. I knew a fake good game when I saw one.
Ah, fine. We'll give it some time. Let's see where things are at after Week 6.
Week 7?
Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson are two names who were able to improve their accuracy after a rough rookie season. Lamar came in guns blazing in year two and Allen improved as well but wasn't really top notch until year three. So this is by no means, a give up on Caleb Williams take. The Bagent bros can leave now if you've been nodding along up to this point. I don't want a guy who's ceiling might be to sneak into a Wild Card game to get waxed by a division winner.
This is a quality team. The offensive line investment has done the job it needed to do. Odunze and Burden are adding to an already pro bowl caliber DJ Moore at receiver and it's still not enough for Caleb to show he can be anything more than a really good game manager. Overall anyway. He was clearly a very poor game manager on Sunday vs the Saints.
But hey - at least we didn't have a color analyst being mean to him on Sunday by literally doing his job and pointing out what he saw on the screen. Right? We got a vanilla wafer broadcast this week that could talk a toddler at Chuck E Cheese asleep. Bears fans can be the absolute dumbest. It's just a fact. Just because the Bears beat Washington last week doesn't mean Caleb was any good. Don't get me wrong, I'm rooting for Caleb and understand he's the path we chose. I didn't want Fields. And I sure as hell don't want Bagent. But I can see what's in front of me, at least.
Can't say the same for Caleb.
But hey. The run game was magically fixed over the bye, and the defense is coming along. We might have a competitive team this year!
That's all that mattered coming into the season, right?
