Agree 100%. He’s a ball holder through and through. Perfect example is Washington - Last year with Sam Howell their line was ranked bottom of the league and Howell took 65 sacks. This year Jayden is getting the ball out quick and the same oline is ranked top 10
Brock Purdy has also had four 300 games this season. As you point out, that's more then Mahomes or Allen. Yet you think he's terrible. So why is that so impressive with Caleb?
Because 49ers are a much more stable organization, Shanahan is an excellent HC and Purdy is going into a contract year where he’s gonna demand $55M a year. So no…it’s not that impressive
A lot easier to throw for 300 yards in a game when your offense does nothing in the first half and you’re throwing the whole 2nd half to try and catch up.
They won 7 games last year with a similar team and same coaching staff but now it’s a horrible situation? No, Caleb just isn’t as good as the media wanted him to be
@@9190onin what in the world do you mean "moved on from the bad OL they had last season" ? it was almost the exact same line as last year, half of it is on IR this season, and they've been surrendering pressure at almost double the rate they did last year... but in your mind that somehow equals that they "moved on" from their o-line last season and it was "better than last year on paper" ????? lol you're just making stuff up now
I don’t think your take tells the whole story. The Hail Mary, missed field goals, and clock mismanagement from the HC even in the game yesterday he threw a TD that got called back that would’ve changed the outcome of that game. He hasn’t been amazing but on multiple occasions he put them in a spot to win. Expecting a rookie QB to turn around this kind of organizational dysfunction in one season was unrealistic.
Y’all remember before the season Colin talking about how great of a situation it is for Caleb to have so many weapons as a rookie. Colin changes his narrative weekly nothing new
1. Caleb asked for Odunze and not OL and Bears did it to make him happy. 2. Colin said Bears has a decent OL at the start of the season 3. 300 yards are mostly when trailing with 3 WR1s, a decent TE and good RB.
@@lordrayden3045 Maybe they did but to act like that's a certainty is just lazy and very well could be untrue. Maybe Colin has no clue what his talking about wouldn't be the first time. Maybe they drafted him cause he was the best available player on there draft boards or maybe both statements can be true. It annoys me when people act like mind readers about something that unless they were in the room there is no way to know for sure.
I hear all the blame going to everyone but Caleb. The O line, the head coach, the OC, but not the "generational talent." Granted they all share the blame, but he holds the ball far too long, putting so much pressure on his O line. He can't expect them to hold their blocks for 10+ seconds while he runs around, deciding what to do next. The urgency in his game when it's the 4th, a minute left, and the game is on the line, is completely nonexistent. He burns precious seconds like he's still in the 2nd quarter. Honestly, I see more fire from Staley Da Bear. Right now, the game seems too big for him.
the fact the Bears rolled into this season with absolutely ZERO veteran presence behind Caleb is organizational negligence you CAN NOT bring a rookie QB into an environment with nobody to learn from in the QB room, nobody's brain in the building for him to pick, and no competent coaching whatsoever.... like the only guy he can observe and work with in the QB room is Tyson Bagent???? lol Caleb needs to learn a lot, and there has been absolutely NOBODY in the building for him to actually learn from
Pretty interesting take that zero talking heads have I heard hitting this angle. I'm a Washington fan and in that context, it's just another way they may be doing JD5 right. Bringing in another Heisman winning #2 pick to be in the QB room. Mariota has had a pretty rough NFL career and probably has a wealth of information to help Jayden avoid common pitfalls. One thing I would like to add is that they made JD5 have to earn the starting job. I think that means something to the rest of the team. Hopefully, Chicago invests in helping Caleb succeed and because of your post here, grabbing a grizzled vet should definitely be one of those moves.
I thought he was a "generational talent" who could carry an organization in a way that he wasn't able to at USC. Most of you fanboys, Cowherd included, overhyped him and are now claiming that he doesn't have enough help.
He makes his line trash by holding onto the ball too long. He is another undersized overhyped college QB who the media anointed as the next great a la Bryce Young and Kyler Murray.

And Caleb holds the ball longer than any other QB in the league... how long is the line supposed to hold up for per play i mean wtf are we talking about here

"If you have to keep making excuses for the quarterback then its probably his fault" Colin talking about other qbs who struggle with oline and coaching
@@valjohnson7112 Have you watched their games this year? Have you watched how many times they failed to gameplan to start and adjust throughout games lmao? Again there is a reason they aren't there
I am not at all surprised to see him struggle in the NFL. The only game I watched of Caleb's in college that I watched was the Colorado game. I specifically watched it to scout the QB I was hearing so much about. After listening to all the sports talking heads hype I turned on the game expecting to see Dan Marino at Pitt or Elway or Luck at Stanford. Instead, what i saw was a guy with nice shoulder flexibility, and a smooth athlete, but only a good, not great arm, nice mobility but not elite footspeed or quick twitch muscles and a good but not great quick release. To my eyes I saw a guy who would be questionable as a quality NFL starter, let alone a guy who could carry a team by himself.
Yeah. It's not the organization that has consistently ruined QB's for DECADES! That refuses to invest in an Offensive Line. That refuses to recognize their own incompetence when it comes to hiring the people around the players. Remember when they drafted Trubisky. If they had drafted Mahomes instead, no one would know his name because he would have washed out by now. This is not Caleb's fault. It's the organizations fault. AND it is the fans fault for continuing to go to games while the McCaskeys have been serving up this S#!T sandwich for DECADES! Chicago fans need to turn Soldier Field into Home Games for the Away teams because tickets are so plentiful and cheap. The McCaskeys won't sell until that happens. And quite frankly they are so inept they probably wound't sell even if that happens.
OLINE gets a bad rep their not good but at least 40% of those sacks are Caleb's fault I never seen a QB that thinks he can escape 100% of the blitz add the fact that he is the worst pre snap QB in the league Caleb's gotta do better or alot of people gone lose there job
Caleb Williams lost that game last night, almost single-handedly. Of course poor coaching bears some responsibility. But it wasn't coaching chucking balls into coverage for no reason, being skittish in the pocket, running into half the sacks, throwing off balance passes, etc. That performance by Caleb was an utter disaster. Make all the excuses you want but Williams has massively digressed. He definitely needs some serious coaching to get him back into Heisman form.
Chucking balls into coverage for no reason? What game were you watching? The only time that happened was at the end when he got intercepted. He wasn't running into sacks either. Defenders were in his face in less than two seconds most of the time. Now the off balance passes I agree with, but it's hard to throw with balance when defenders are blowing past lineman like they're not even there. Caleb and CJ Stroud are struggling for the same exact reason...their olines are hot garbage. Caleb didn't single handedly lose the game. That's just nonsense. Lots of blame to go around.
"flip flopping" ???? so you think keeping Eberflus and Waldron would have been better for Caleb's development? lol the problem wasn't firing coaches mid-season, the problem was not firing them before the season .... but doubling down on a complete bozo for the sake of continuity isn't how it works
@@mattcarberry368 If that’s what I mean’t, then that’s what I would have said. My point is that they have no stability as a franchise. P.S. I’m a Packers fan.
Even Mahomes looked bad in the Superbowl against Brady and Tampa with an atrocious O-line. I don't think people realize how bad the Bears O-line is. Caleb Williams is the least of the Bears problems. He's been their best offensive player this season. That's a fact. If you actually watched Bears games.
Sure the Oline is bad But look at Maye, I'm not gonna say he is playing "good" but he is showing flashes and having some really good stretches despite having a much WORSE TEAM. Even last year Sam Howell showed much more than Caleb this year despite having a worse Oline, receiving core and running game
Agreed….I’ve watched the games as well…I’d say about 1/3 of the sacks are on Caleb and even with that he is still top 3 most sacked qb’s in 2024. No run game is not Caleb’s fault. Fix this and even with a slow release they win 10 games a year
A lot of those sacks are on Caleb. I still have faith in him as a Bears fan, but he holds the ball too long and he is not as elusive as he was in college. It feels like he’s playing not to lose as opposed to playing to win. Still, wishing him a very prosperous future.
When his WRs running routes that take 5+ seconds to develop what if he supposed to do? lol the line breaks after 2-3 seconds usually. The play calling sucks lol
No pocket awareness, only throws bullet passes, inaccurate, poor processing before the snap. College you can get by on talent, not at this level. This isn’t a coach or offensive coordinator situation, this is a “Your QB really needs to work on his game and fundamentals” situation and based off the pouty attitude and sass on the sideline, he isn’t THE guy. He’s A guy, but he ain’t THE guy.
You can have Johnny Unitas back there quarterbacking for the bears he struggles. This kid been sacked more times than anybody in the game when you're running for your life your mechanics probably will be off....
@@abrahamjackson6019 No, he does not. He holds onto the ball too long and can't read the middle of the field to save his long. He was overhyped by fanboys like you who choose to only look at the highlights of him running around undersized 250 DTs in college.
@@Nairows A QB with 19 tds 7 ints with 3400 yards passing . Those number are better than Bo Nix and on par with Jaylen Daniels , Caleb is sacked 4 times a game. Think about what you're saying, really just .............think about it
@@abrahamjackson6019 Most of his passing yards are in junk time when trailing, and 7 picks is because he holds the ball and won't throw it and gets sacked. The ball must be out of his hands by the 3 to 3.5 second mark. Go back and look at how many sacks are coming after the 3 second mark. If he could read and make snap decisions he would have more yards, TDs and picks but 20-30 less sacks.
Yea can someone tell Colin that the pats have the worst graded line, broncos 1st, bears are 14th. Maye doesn’t take sacks bc he runs away so damn much and gets rid of the ball🤣🤣🤣
Why are you trying so hard to make us think Caleb is great...he sucks. Call it like it is. At the beginning of the season people were saying how he had the best situation of a #1 qb pick....lol
The Cowboys have 109 penalties for 785 yards. The penalty that offends me the most is the false start penalty. I think it reflects negatively on coaching & the QB. The Cowboys should just go on 1 every time, then they would know when to go.
Best move was to trade the pick again get capital give Justin fields malik nabors and Marvin Harrison Jr and have dj Moore. Vs Keenan Allen and odunze.
So winning big games in college matters what you do in the NFL? Hurts got benched, Allen never even played in a power 5, Mahomes won what big games at Texas Tech, Goff was what 6-4 in his senior year, Fields win at OSU and he’s a backup, I can go on and on. Horrible argument
Sacks per season: Marino was sacked an average of 16 times per season. Sack percentage: Marino led the league in lowest sack percentage 10 times, including seven consecutive seasons from 1983 to 1989. His career sack percentage was 3.1%. Quick release: Marino attributed his ability to avoid sacks to his quick mind and release. He said he developed quick feet from jumping rope as a child and could sense the presence of defensive players in the pocket.
Caleb allows too many sacks like a prime Russ always did. But he can easily be a top 5 qb in this league if he gets a competent offensive coaching staff
“easily”… “top-5 qb in the league”….. “Caleb Williams” 😂🤣😂🤣 At no point will this queen be in a convo with Burrow, Jackson, Mahomes, Allen, Herbert, Goff, and Hurts. Heck, the dudes in his own year completely outclass him at this point!
I disagree. It’s way too early to say that it’s over for him and this is what his career is and will be. There’s no coaching or camaraderie or chemistry. It’s not that easy to create a functional offense as just having good receivers, which was the approach that went with this past off-season. In terms of the offensive line and taking a lot of sacks, I’m not sure what he supposed to do when he doesn’t know where to pass rush to come from and what to do. That’s the difference between Sean Payton and whatever the mess in Chicago is. Sean Payton is giving Bo Nix answers, while Caleb is stuck, looking lost at the pro game. I’m not a Bears fan or a Caleb apologist, I especially didn’t like when he asked for partial ownership of whichever team drafted him while not even being in the league yet, I just fear that people are about to get into the same cycle as they did with early Jared Goff, early Sam Darnold, and early Baker Mayfield, and early Geno, ironically, were they end up having to eat their words once stability arrives to the quarterbacks situation.
lol if social media existed back in the day, then Chuck Noll would be fired before the Steel Curtain took off and Troy Aikman would be cut before Irvin and Emmitt went off 1 season with a coaching staff that was re-shuffled 3 times during the season, and one of the worst o-lines we've ever seen, and you've already decided what his entire career is 🤡
He was the most overhyped qb coming into the draft this decade! All the other QBs drafted after him in the first round have all done better then him with less to work with with an exception of Daniels which I think they had similar built teams. I just don’t think he has what it takes. If you watch his game there is 0 differences between his college play vs how he’s playing at this level.
Caleb sucks, he runs backwards 20 yards, and just misses receivers, I don't know WHAT YOU'RE SEEING... also Herbert overcame the coaches deficiencies, I dont see Caleb overcoming anything.
Impressed with Caleb’s athleticism. Guy makes some amazing plays. Needs to have a mentor and coach to help him on his way. Thinking he can be a great one.
That O line looked like trash yesterday. Any QB can’t perform without a little time to read the field. If you can’t give him 2seconds it’s not all on him.
Anyone wanting the Bears job has got to be special 😂😂😂! But also very confident! With the teams the rest of that division have... rough yrs ahead! Wish him all the best!
I watched that game on prime vision (awesome)...alot of those sacks are on caleb...he holds the ball in clean pockets and missed reads of open players. ...I still think he will be good but right now he is terrible
There's just 3 options that I suspect JJ is considering, in no particular order: MM, Vrabel or Kellen Moore. Vrabel is perhaps marginally better than MM , but it's arguable for sure. Would depend on his OC hire. You hire Kellen if you want a fresh start but not with someone who's being thrown into the deep end of being the Cowboys HC.
How can anybody forget the absolute coaching malpractice disaster that was the Packer vs Cowboys wildcard game 27-0 in the second Q. What about the two times in the playoffs Cowboys was embarrassed by the Niners. ??? I would only sign Mike to a one/2 year deal till better coaches are available like McVay.
Jerry Jones likes to brag as to how he learned to own a team from Al Davis. All respect to the Raiders, but since the old AFL days, how many Super Bowls have the Raiders won? If McCarthy is smart, if an opportunity to coach for a real football owner who doesn't publicly nit pick his every player move, his every coaching move, his every coaching hire, with a real football GM, who will let him choose his own players, his own OC, his Own DC, his own coaches and build his own football team, McCarthy takes that opportunity. Why would McCarthy baby sit Jones if he could coach in a real football organization?
Mr. Williams will be better for the sacks he takes this year. But it would be good for the Bears to, figuratively, put an arm around him game plan-wise
i dont think anyone has doubted Mccarthy can coach. it is situational Football, penalties, and undisciplined locker room thats the problem. plus the owner/GM is a huge road block in obtaining true, meaningful success.
300 yard passing games don’t mean anything. Daniel Jones had five 300 yard games his rookie season. Jameis Winston threw for 4,000 yards as a rookie. Caleb has a bunch of garbage time stats that obviously didn’t impact winning. Stat padding late in games doesn’t mean anything.
Colin, no BS please. Caleb’s 300 yard games, a lot of those yards are GTY, garbage time yards. So stop talking nonsense. Number of sacks? A lot of those are on Caleb, not the O line. Truth is, maybe Caleb is just not that good.
This woe is me poor Caleb nonsense is ridiculous. He had it better coming into the league than a lot of first overall picked QBs and he is a major reason the sack total is so high, he’s not getting rid of the ball or diagnosing the play quick enough. The Bears OL is top half of the league in pass block win rate, but he has the most sacks. That tells me Caleb is a big part of the issue.

I am not at all surprised to see him struggle in the NFL. The only game I watched of Caleb's in college that I watched was the Colorado game. I specifically watched it to scout the QB I was hearing so much about. After listening to all the sports talking heads hype I turned on the game expecting to see Dan Marino at Pitt or Elway or Luck at Stanford. Instead, what i saw was a guy with nice shoulder flexibility, and a smooth athlete, but only a good, not great arm, nice mobility but not elite footspeed or quick twitch muscles and a good but not great quick release. To my eyes I saw a guy who would be questionable as a quality NFL starter, let alone a guy who could carry a team by himself.
If Caleb was who they said he was, he would have been winning. No one made excuses for Fields before.
Oh yea? Where is Fields playing? He's a starter right?
Yeah. It's not the organization that has consistently ruined QB's for DECADES! That refuses to invest in an Offensive Line. That refuses to recognize their own incompetence when it comes to hiring the people around the players. Remember when they drafted Trubisky. If they had drafted Mahomes instead, no one would know his name because he would have washed out by now. This is not Caleb's fault. It's the organizations fault. AND it is the fans fault for continuing to go to games while the McCaskeys have been serving up this S#!T sandwich for DECADES! Chicago fans need to turn Soldier Field into Home Games for the Away teams because tickets are so plentiful and cheap. The McCaskeys won't sell until that happens. And quite frankly they are so inept they probably wound't sell even if that happens.
Fields had about 2 years of excuses from the media. Year 3 is when they turned and they'll turn on Caleb year 3
@@RedHoodFH Colin never made excuses for Fields.
@@DJuahn he sure did. He even sang his praises after that MNF loss the bears had to the steelers saying 'they found their guy'
Merril hoge warned you
How did you somehow make this about Rodgers?
He's obessed.
He has been sacked that much because he holds onto the ball for 15 seconds going through his reads...
This man can’t stop taking about Jim Harbaugh
OLINE gets a bad rep their not good but at least 40% of those sacks are Caleb's fault I never seen a QB that thinks he can escape 100% of the blitz add the fact that he is the worst pre snap QB in the league Caleb's gotta do better or alot of people gone lose there job
Williams isn’t good
Are people,finally starting to figure that out?
Almost like they should have watched him in college
Caleb Williams lost that game last night, almost single-handedly. Of course poor coaching bears some responsibility. But it wasn't coaching chucking balls into coverage for no reason, being skittish in the pocket, running into half the sacks, throwing off balance passes, etc.
That performance by Caleb was an utter disaster. Make all the excuses you want but Williams has massively digressed. He definitely needs some serious coaching to get him back into Heisman form.
Chucking balls into coverage for no reason? What game were you watching? The only time that happened was at the end when he got intercepted. He wasn't running into sacks either. Defenders were in his face in less than two seconds most of the time. Now the off balance passes I agree with, but it's hard to throw with balance when defenders are blowing past lineman like they're not even there. Caleb and CJ Stroud are struggling for the same exact reason...their olines are hot garbage. Caleb didn't single handedly lose the game. That's just nonsense. Lots of blame to go around.
@@robertgadling7217 they don't watch games they just hate lol, it's sad
@@robertgadling7217 His O-Line is hot garbage...but he was chucking out of loss of faith. There is no explanation for the last drive otherwise.
It is if they keep flip flopping with coaches…
"flip flopping" ???? so you think keeping Eberflus and Waldron would have been better for Caleb's development? lol
the problem wasn't firing coaches mid-season, the problem was not firing them before the season .... but doubling down on a complete bozo for the sake of continuity isn't how it works
Eberflus was supposed to be fired at the end of last season majority of media was calling for his head
@@mattcarberry368 If that’s what I mean’t, then that’s what I would have said. My point is that they have no stability as a franchise. P.S. I’m a Packers fan.
Even Mahomes looked bad in the Superbowl against Brady and Tampa with an atrocious O-line. I don't think people realize how bad the Bears O-line is.
Caleb Williams is the least of the Bears problems. He's been their best offensive player this season. That's a fact. If you actually watched Bears games.
There were people who were saying the OL has been bad but people responded to them that a good QB makes a bad OL look good
Sure the Oline is bad
But look at Maye, I'm not gonna say he is playing "good" but he is showing flashes and having some really good stretches despite having a much WORSE TEAM.
Even last year Sam Howell showed much more than Caleb this year despite having a worse Oline, receiving core and running game
Agreed….I’ve watched the games as well…I’d say about 1/3 of the sacks are on Caleb and even with that he is still top 3 most sacked qb’s in 2024. No run game is not Caleb’s fault. Fix this and even with a slow release they win 10 games a year
Do any of the people commented here actually watch the bears games and caleb.They need to forget about fields who is gone and on the bench.
@@Jasoncj099 yeah maye is better than caleb, just don't look at the stats....................................... casual take.....
A lot of those sacks are on Caleb. I still have faith in him as a Bears fan, but he holds the ball too long and he is not as elusive as he was in college. It feels like he’s playing not to lose as opposed to playing to win. Still, wishing him a very prosperous future.
When his WRs running routes that take 5+ seconds to develop what if he supposed to do? lol the line breaks after 2-3 seconds usually.
The play calling sucks lol
why do they never post the Cosell segment?
Bears should hire Lincoln Riley: a) he's cheap rn b) works w/Caleb c) USC is cooked (low NIL budget)
USC is cooked because Riley can't coach, recruit or build bridges with the alumni and his offense is way too simplistic to work in the NFL.
The Bears should've sat him this year just like the Chiefs sat Mahomes his first season.
No pocket awareness, only throws bullet passes, inaccurate, poor processing before the snap. College you can get by on talent, not at this level. This isn’t a coach or offensive coordinator situation, this is a “Your QB really needs to work on his game and fundamentals” situation and based off the pouty attitude and sass on the sideline, he isn’t THE guy. He’s A guy, but he ain’t THE guy.
You can have Johnny Unitas back there quarterbacking for the bears he struggles. This kid been sacked more times than anybody in the game when you're running for your life your mechanics probably will be off....
@@abrahamjackson6019 No, he does not. He holds onto the ball too long and can't read the middle of the field to save his long. He was overhyped by fanboys like you who choose to only look at the highlights of him running around undersized 250 DTs in college.
@@Nairows A QB with 19 tds 7 ints with 3400 yards passing . Those number are better than Bo Nix and on par with Jaylen Daniels , Caleb is sacked 4 times a game. Think about what you're saying, really just .............think about it
@@abrahamjackson60194 wins
@@abrahamjackson6019 Most of his passing yards are in junk time when trailing, and 7 picks is because he holds the ball and won't throw it and gets sacked. The ball must be out of his hands by the 3 to 3.5 second mark. Go back and look at how many sacks are coming after the 3 second mark. If he could read and make snap decisions he would have more yards, TDs and picks but 20-30 less sacks.
What’s the matter Colin? You and your twin Nick Wright said Caleb was going to win the SB this year. 😂
30 for 30 is writing itself right now
Yea can someone tell Colin that the pats have the worst graded line, broncos 1st, bears are 14th. Maye doesn’t take sacks bc he runs away so damn much and gets rid of the ball🤣🤣🤣
Why are you trying so hard to make us think Caleb is great...he sucks. Call it like it is. At the beginning of the season people were saying how he had the best situation of a #1 qb pick....lol
The Cowboys have 109 penalties for 785 yards. The penalty that offends me the most is the false start penalty. I think it reflects negatively on coaching & the QB. The Cowboys should just go on 1 every time, then they would know when to go.
Stop making excuses for caleb he was drafted in the best situation for qb he literally has everything
He just sucks 😕
Best move was to trade the pick again get capital give Justin fields malik nabors and Marvin Harrison Jr and have dj Moore. Vs Keenan Allen and odunze.
1:24 Yes. First thing first : a very good O-line is the foundation. Then good WR's can do their jobs (even with an average QB).
CALEB was also inaccurate in college and never won any big games really. All we remember was HOW AMAZING HIS NAILS WERE !!!!🤣🤣😂😂
Low iq emotional take
Lmao 67% completion in college. You guys come on here and say anything
So winning big games in college matters what you do in the NFL? Hurts got benched, Allen never even played in a power 5, Mahomes won what big games at Texas Tech, Goff was what 6-4 in his senior year, Fields win at OSU and he’s a backup, I can go on and on. Horrible argument
@@callmechuck__7870yea this comment above is just beyond stupid and with everyone who liked it
Cannot wait for Caleb to be good next season ima come back to this
Sacks per season: Marino was sacked an average of 16 times per season.
Sack percentage: Marino led the league in lowest sack percentage 10 times, including seven consecutive seasons from 1983 to 1989. His career sack percentage was 3.1%.
Quick release: Marino attributed his ability to avoid sacks to his quick mind and release. He said he developed quick feet from jumping rope as a child and could sense the presence of defensive players in the pocket.
Defense holds team to 6 points and u cant win
There was a lot you left out between winning the SB and getting fired
A lot of playoff runs, and just a single year where Rodgers played the whole season and they missed the playoffs.
Caleb can’t read a defense and also isn’t as athletic as he thinks he is to escape the pocket. He sucks
Another USC quarterback who doesn’t live up to the hype in the NFL. They should have taken Daniels!
The Bears go to the Championship every 22years…1963, 1985, 2007… ….
Caleb is a Bear at the right time
😂stick to ⛳️
Sam Darnold and Anathema's "A Simple Mistake" have taught us that it's never too late.
I’m honestly shocked they didn’t hire kliff kingsbury I’m almost certain this season would have looked so much different with him coaching Caleb
Seahawks fan here. Love to have him.
Caleb allows too many sacks like a prime Russ always did. But he can easily be a top 5 qb in this league if he gets a competent offensive coaching staff
Don't compare Russ to this zesty diva lol 😂
“easily”… “top-5 qb in the league”….. “Caleb Williams” 😂🤣😂🤣
At no point will this queen be in a convo with Burrow, Jackson, Mahomes, Allen, Herbert, Goff, and Hurts. Heck, the dudes in his own year completely outclass him at this point!
Half the sacks are Calebs fault. Hes inacurate, cant process. Hes a bust.
@@jayt5779 you’ll be eating crow 3 years later. bet you said the same about sam darnold
I disagree. It’s way too early to say that it’s over for him and this is what his career is and will be. There’s no coaching or camaraderie or chemistry. It’s not that easy to create a functional offense as just having good receivers, which was the approach that went with this past off-season. In terms of the offensive line and taking a lot of sacks, I’m not sure what he supposed to do when he doesn’t know where to pass rush to come from and what to do. That’s the difference between Sean Payton and whatever the mess in Chicago is. Sean Payton is giving Bo Nix answers, while Caleb is stuck, looking lost at the pro game.
I’m not a Bears fan or a Caleb apologist, I especially didn’t like when he asked for partial ownership of whichever team drafted him while not even being in the league yet, I just fear that people are about to get into the same cycle as they did with early Jared Goff, early Sam Darnold, and early Baker Mayfield, and early Geno, ironically, were they end up having to eat their words once stability arrives to the quarterbacks situation.
lol if social media existed back in the day, then Chuck Noll would be fired before the Steel Curtain took off and Troy Aikman would be cut before Irvin and Emmitt went off
1 season with a coaching staff that was re-shuffled 3 times during the season, and one of the worst o-lines we've ever seen, and you've already decided what his entire career is 🤡
He was the most overhyped qb coming into the draft this decade! All the other QBs drafted after him in the first round have all done better then him with less to work with with an exception of Daniels which I think they had similar built teams. I just don’t think he has what it takes. If you watch his game there is 0 differences between his college play vs how he’s playing at this level.
😂 bust?! Your 🥶 as 🧊
great points by colin today.
Put the Greg Cosell interviews on RUclips
Caleb sucks, he runs backwards 20 yards, and just misses receivers, I don't know WHAT YOU'RE SEEING... also Herbert overcame the coaches deficiencies, I dont see Caleb overcoming anything.
Impressed with Caleb’s athleticism. Guy makes some amazing plays. Needs to have a mentor and coach to help him on his way. Thinking he can be a great one.
Never
That O line looked like trash yesterday. Any QB can’t perform without a little time to read the field. If you can’t give him 2seconds it’s not all on him.
Greg Cosell thinks Mike McCarthy is a good coach? I had to check calendar to make sure it wasn't April 1st...
Caleb was supposed to be able to overcome all the dysfunction lmao.. 😂
Anyone wanting the Bears job has got to be special 😂😂😂! But also very confident! With the teams the rest of that division have... rough yrs ahead! Wish him all the best!
I watched that game on prime vision (awesome)...alot of those sacks are on caleb...he holds the ball in clean pockets and missed reads of open players. ...I still think he will be good but right now he is terrible
Taking sacks is not just on the O line, caleb is bad at avoiding them. Its on him.
One rookie qb joined a team that was 4-13 and took them to 10-5. Another qb joins a 7-10 and they move to 4-12.
Because of coaching?
There's just 3 options that I suspect JJ is considering, in no particular order: MM, Vrabel or Kellen Moore.
Vrabel is perhaps marginally better than MM , but it's arguable for sure. Would depend on his OC hire. You hire Kellen if you want a fresh start but not with someone who's being thrown into the deep end of being the Cowboys HC.
3,300 yards, 19 TDs, 6 INTs . . . Colin's right, IT'S OVER. Caleb's career is done.
How can anybody forget the absolute coaching malpractice disaster that was the Packer vs Cowboys wildcard game 27-0 in the second Q. What about the two times in the playoffs Cowboys was embarrassed by the Niners. ??? I would only sign Mike to a one/2 year deal till better coaches are available like McVay.
Jerry Jones likes to brag as to how he learned to own a team from Al Davis. All respect to the Raiders, but since the old AFL days, how many Super Bowls
have the Raiders won? If McCarthy is smart, if an opportunity to coach for a real football owner who doesn't publicly nit pick his every player move, his every
coaching move, his every coaching hire, with a real football GM, who will let him choose his own players, his own OC, his Own DC, his own coaches and
build his own football team, McCarthy takes that opportunity. Why would McCarthy baby sit Jones if he could coach in a real football organization?
Mr. Williams will be better for the sacks he takes this year. But it would be good for the Bears to, figuratively, put an arm around him game plan-wise
If i remember right at oklahoma before he tranferred he was praised for his accuracy .
i dont think anyone has doubted Mccarthy can coach. it is situational Football, penalties, and undisciplined locker room thats the problem. plus the owner/GM is a huge road block in obtaining true, meaningful success.
Why don't more people call Nick out on his bears take
We played against David Carr in the division and I can say he wasn’t the same player after all of the sacks.
300 yard passing games don’t mean anything. Daniel Jones had five 300 yard games his rookie season. Jameis Winston threw for 4,000 yards as a rookie. Caleb has a bunch of garbage time stats that obviously didn’t impact winning. Stat padding late in games doesn’t mean anything.
7:15 did Collin just insinuate Harbaugh isn’t a good coach?!
For perspective, Josh Allen hasn’t been sacked even 40 times over the past 2 seasons, including playoffs
Colin, no BS please. Caleb’s 300 yard games, a lot of those yards are GTY, garbage time yards. So stop talking nonsense. Number of sacks? A lot of those are on Caleb, not the O line. Truth is, maybe Caleb is just not that good.
He hangs on to the ball! 🤦🏿♂️
It's his first...FIRST year. Peyton manning tossed 28 ints his rookie year. The expectations are unrealistic anymore
A lot of Caleb’s stats are when he’s losing,the game is over and the other team has backed off.
This woe is me poor Caleb nonsense is ridiculous. He had it better coming into the league than a lot of first overall picked QBs and he is a major reason the sack total is so high, he’s not getting rid of the ball or diagnosing the play quick enough. The Bears OL is top half of the league in pass block win rate, but he has the most sacks. That tells me Caleb is a big part of the issue.
The media tells me that Caleb is a generational talent and somehow I don't see it.
