MDC 6,482 Posted October 1 Fields: 70.6% completion, 3 TDs 1 INT, 98.0 rating, 145 yards rushing and 3 TDs. Caleb: 61.7% completion, 3 TDs 4 INTs, 72.0 rating, 79 yards rushing. Were duh Bears holding Fields back from reaching his potential all along? It would be crazy if they traded a franchise QB to Pitt for a song, only to draft roon another generational talent at quarterback. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
edjr 6,168 Posted October 1 Quote Chicago Bears are the only NFL team to have never had a quarterback throw for 4,000 yards in a season. 50 different quarterbacks have thrown for 4,000 yards in a season, a feat that has happened 130 times in total Joe Namath did it in like 1936 or something Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hawkeye21 2,104 Posted October 1 Williams is on pace to have the 5th most passing yards in franchise history. That's with an extra game though. The QB position in Chicago has always been a disaster. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hardcore troubadour 13,735 Posted October 1 If my teams QB was Jalen Hurts I’d bite my tongue for a bit. Sometimes these QB’s Carson Wentz start a downward spiral and never come out of it. Sometimes it’s just a slump. Best to wait and see. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sean Mooney 1,547 Posted October 1 The weapons that Caleb Williams has this year are better than what Fields ever had and that is even without Keenan really seeing the field yet. Caleb holds the ball too long at times which is what everyone saw would be his issue in the NFL. I was always of the thinking the Bears should've tried to trade that #1 pick to someone who needed a QB and then loaded up the offensive side of the ball behind Fields.

Sean Mooney 1,547 Posted October 1 One sort of surprising thing with Caleb so far this year is he looks hesitant to escape the pocket and run. He dances a lot trying to throw the ball but could easily bail out and pick up chunk plays Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There is plenty of time yet this season to see improvement. I thought we are just talking about stats thus far and how non explosive bears are on offense. I could say I dont know what sort of OL you guys have yet either. If you are blaming thr offense on the OL. Yet say Caleb can improve....then you are saying the OL can also improve and shouldnt be judged yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The rest will depend on the OL giving him more time to throw. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IGotWorms 3,831 Posted October 1 I think Caleb Williams has looked pretty good so far. Now that the training wheels are off fields in Pitt, I expect him to crash and burn. But maybe not, they are just a much much better organization Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
