I wasn’t expecting him to be McVay but I thought he would at least provide a decent floor as an experienced play caller. The personnel decisions were strange. Everett getting more snaps than Kmet is criminal
@ironfistalexander3246 Welcome to Shane Waldron!!! Underutilizes players and pulls pass plays from the 2017 Rams and 3A highschool playboys!! Enjoy Him!!! We did for 3 years😆😅🤣
Waldron called some decent plays, they were just blown up by a D-line literally bulldozing the interior line multiple times and not giving Caleb enough time
@@mystimallow He did have his moments but then he entered a playcalling zone of the final drive. I was like “ooo okay.” But on third and ten, rather than give caleb the chance to win the game, he called another screen. So the defense had to win it. Thank you Jaylon Johnson
This is quite an eye opener coming from watching Shanahan Niners gameplans. AP Players aside, a good offense starts with a good plan and not leaving it up to highlight backyard football to win the day.
Not running the ball with rookie QB should be seen as play-calling malpractice. Even if the running game isn't really clicking that still opens up play action which helps _any_ QB. Why not make things easier for a rookie?
This is a similar issue with Shane Waldron had Russell Wilson. The play style is almost exactly the same. And how did that go? The coaching staff needs to go before they ruin Caleb and this good roster
You see in the NFL, professional quarterbacks clear 100 yards like it's a body function. The fact you think 94 yards of production isn't embarrassing tells me all i need to know. Must be used to losing. You people in Chicago have your bars set low
@@RickJamesFranko You yourself just said that getting 100 yard is easy, which it is(I didn’t deny he played bad) but somehow you still managed to type your foolish original comment lol.
@@owtkvst nothing foolish about it. It shows that Williams had an extremely poor game and that you need to stop Stanning for him. He's the only QB I can remember who started and finished a game and didn't top 100 yards in several years and must of those other times were in crazy weather or other mitigating circumstances. Caleb doesn't have those excuses, no matter how bad Waldren called plays
Ohh no a rookie QB was overwhelmed because of poor coaching?!? It’s almost like it doesn’t matter how good they are if the team and/or coaching isn’t good they’ll never do well
One issue I'm seeing is that he likes to crow-hop into a lot of his throws and doesn't always set his feet. It looks like he's waiting for the game to slow down, but you have to speed up.
Ik this a video about offense, but man watching the defense is so impressive. They would show cover 2 zone, then perfectly run cover 1 man. Every person covered, not a single read open for the QB.
This is something that was never brought up in all the discourse about Waldron in the off-season. Waldron has never developed a rookie before, he doesn’t know the limitations that rookies have. Even though Williams is a top tier prospect, he’s still a rookie. The other thing that should be mentioned for context is the Titans are running a MacDonald style defense that is pretty good against rookies.
Except a MacDonald style defense also depends on having specific type of developed talents, especially on the secondary, to be consistent with pressure while giving the defense zone split safety looks. Outside of Jeffrey Simmons none of the Titans back 7 is as threatening. This isn't about Waldron developing a rookie rather than designing pass game concepts that is within the strengths of a rookie QB and how they can attack the opposing defense when a weakness is shown. FFS there is a reason why Shanahan and KOC can give Darnold well designed concepts so he takes the easy throws and not end up on 3rd and long.
@@t4d0W i didn’t say they were perfectly imitating it, i said they were running a defense in that style. Sneed is pretty dynamic in the secondary, but yeah they don’t have too many threatening people in the front 7. I think it still causes some confusion to a rookie QB it just might not be as bad on a Veteran QB. Exactly, scheming up easy throws is the type of rookie development that I meant, Waldron doesn’t hide anything on offense. If you can read the offense you can tell what they are doing, there’s no disguises, no meaningful pre snap motion, and the run scheme doesn’t really help the passing game in a meaningful way. Maybe he’ll turn it around but game 1 looked like his typical scheme from Seattle.
As a Seahawks fan that has watched a lot Shane Waldron’s offense this isn’t going to change. Waldron has one plan and forces players into his predefined roles rather than taking advantage of the skill sets of his players
As a seahawks fan i gotta say that our offense has looked so much better in 2 games than it ever was under Shane. All our weapons are being utilized the correct way. I cant help but feel bad for bears fans. Caleb will not grow under him and yall will be pulking your hair out by the way he calls games
It’s an interesting take. Was Waldron perfect no, but Caleb admitted in his presser there were about 6 throws he messed on. I think we can just admit Caleb had a bad game without making it overblown, a rookie in his very first game had a rookie game shocker 😂
Matt Eberflus was down 17-3 at halftime and adjusted his game plan to give up 0 points in the second half. He seems solid to me so far. Waldron needs work though!
This was an excellent breakdown! I must say, is it just me, or is putting a rookie QB that is making their first start in a lot of empty formations...a bit overly ambitious? Would it be preferable to try to establish a running game, and try to get some play action going, during a quarterback's first ever start, even if it's supposed to be a hyped prospect? This kind of sounds like the opposite of putting your players in a position to succeed.
I think it's because Tennessee DL was so tough. If their front four gets consistent pressure you have two options: leave blockers in, or send out more receivers. Now if we left blockers in, they weren't stopping those guys. So might as well have a gang of WR's out there and hope your QB can get rid of it quickly (because if not he's most likely gonna get killed).
Thank you! Imo yes, I would try and establish the run game and then hit some PA off of that, I don't want to make the offense entirely about Caleb like they did
@@AlexRollinsNFL get the run game going, get your OL some confidence, and then go into play action and normal passes with enough pre snap motion. It'd work the defense a lot more easily and get you easy completions to get your rookies and younger guys some confidence in the guys around them and themselves to unlock your offense, I'm just not fully sure Shane Waldron knows exactly HOW to do it effectively.
The first sack you showed was a screen. PA and screens were called. IMO there was just a lack of detail on blocking assignments and routes. I thought Caleb actually handled all the concepts really well, he just also wasn’t the most accurate. The out and up and the slot fade were just overthrows that looked funky coming out, he just needs to chill a bit
Why so many pre snap defense indicators ? Did the bears draft a QB who cant read pre snap formations ? The same way the panthers drafted a QB who cant seen over his O line ? yuck what a mess
@@yerrrrrrrr4567 Yes I fully understand that. But pre snap and post snap he looks lost. On bounce he's throwing to the wrong reciver. His timing is bad. Footwork is horrible also
@@AlexRollinsNFL Toss of a coin. I'm looking at them vs the Texans right now and it's over thrown passes,Ints and sacks. He can't identify pre snap or post snap pressure
As a Vikings fan; I hope that this type of awful game plan and play continues but I don’t understand why they didn’t choose an offensive minded head coach to go along with the selection of Caleb. It’s clear he has all the talent in the world but is going to need a QB guru to pair that talent with results.
I think it’s a good thing he’ll get weeks before facing any of the NFC north defenses. There are some well coached defenses in the north and the DCs are likely pumped to scheme some crazy stuff for a rookie
If they got the OC position wrong again, the vicious cycle will start all over again. Then the head coach will be on the hot seat, and no one will know for sure if it's the QB or the staff. I'll keep my fingers crossed 🤞🏾
OC is technically easy to fix. Problem is some HCs/Execs take too long to fix the issue until the old HC regime is replaced. Especially if the new HC IS the playcaller on offense. Just gotta get it right before Caleb's 2nd contract extension.
@@t4d0W I agree. Some organizations just make it look difficult. If they have to switch, then it'll likely delay a QB's development by at least a year because they have to learn a whole new system. That alone makes me nervous as a Bears fan. Let's hope it doesn't need to happen.
@@quinnjackson731 A switch to a new system will always take time even if a team gets the right OC. The very capable offensive play caller anyway can make the most out of the offense talent as well with a great QB and knows how to attack defenses. That is the guy Caleb needs to be hooked up with now for the Bears. If he doesn't get that now/soon, he'll get that somewhere in a team that isn't the Bears and probably win a SB then.
Wasnt Cole Kemet open on the seam because Kemet ran a seam to the inside, the back covering him stayed low and the Mike kept with Lewis? It would need to be an accurate ball high on Kemet, but that should be open. Also, that backside dig was open on an accurate ball as well. It would be easier to see for the QB as well.
The seam looks open, but he's running into coverage. Unless that's Kelce and mahomes and he's sitting that in the zone, it's either covered or a pick. On your second point I was thinking that too. How are you blaming coaching when he made a full field read, found the open guy and completely missed him
Ladies and gentlemen this would be the difference between someone who watches football with someone who plays football. If you’ve ever played football you’d know that having a new playbook, new OC, new linemen, new style from your previous team takes way more then 1 week to get used to. You don’t just poof know exactly what will and what won’t work. It takes time. Even mahommes struggled year 1. The way I saw it was the OC being like ok let’s let him loose and welcome him to the NFL. And Williams being nervous to mess up didn’t pull the trigger when he should have. Something that can easily be fixed. Relax they’re just letting him put his feet in the water instead of a full on dive
Bruv its less about the offense not gelling together more than the OC not being an 'actual' scheme lord. Because if he was brought into the team for Xs and Os and he can't do that, why else is he in the building for? The Packers offense last year is a better example of needing time because Matt LaFleur had a rookie QB on their first year as a starter, an O-line still looking to develop and new young receivers. The passing game was a huge difference from Sep-Oct to Nov-Dec-playoffs. If Waldron isn't adjusting fast enough *WHEN* the offense is at least healthy, imagine he's gotta do it when Odunze and Allen are out and the O-line is iffy for the game.
@@t4d0W come back saying the same thing week 4. Relax he has to adjust. Everyone has to adjust. An incomplete pass does not automatically mean it’s QB fault. It could be linemen, routes, adjustments, miscommunications, etc.
@@t4d0W again we’re talking about a brand new system, brand new coach, brand new QB, heck even brand new GM. Everything has to cook brother. You can’t just judge a persons performance week one with those factors. That’s what I mean when I say, that’s how I know none of you even played football
Then why not play him more during the pre season? Understand you don’t want people getting hurt, but if means getting your rookie QB week 1 ready. Why not give him more time in the preseason to work on seeing things and pass reads.
I don't know about the plays being called and I'm not about to pretend I'm an OC. Why is nobody talking about how Titans DT's were getting busy all day long.
I know a bunch of mouth breathers can't put it in perspective but Caleb in week 3 was not only at his best as a rookie, but displayed a better floor for QB play than what the Bears have had for starting QBs in the last 10 years. All while playing hero mode with no consistent run game, low tier O-line play and the OC committing weekend terrorism to see how to design a shitty offense. The Fields apologists will come around. But for the future Bear truthers, you got yourselves a franchise QB. Just gotta fix everything else around him for the long run.
Its unfortunate the world has hyped this man as some all time great when he was barely average in college. He has a long way to go to live up to the expectations. He most likely will never come close. Players as bad as he was in college take years to develop and we know the bears wont be that patient
Calling Caleb bad is crazy lmao. Jus say you don’t know anything about football. Even with a abysmal coordinator and no offensive line he still navigates the pocket well, has good mechanics, and gets the ball out quickly. He will be fine jus stick to watching hockey or whatever white people be watching
Pete, Waldron, and Hurtt made so many mistakes and we limped to 9-8 consistently in spite of them. there were some we should've won, most we didn't deserve to. we had a badly injured and horrible OL for a few weeks in 2023, did things right like 5 or 6 weeks out of the season and missed the playoffs. Don't get me wrong, I loved pete, but I'm glad he's gone and we got Mike and Grubb. While it'll take time, I know we have the potential to be even better than just perennial miss the playoffs but go 9-8 or losing in the first round of the playoffs.
DeMeco had a helluva gameplan on defense which resulted in a gaudy high amount of pressures against Caleb that day. Didn't help the Bears interior is exposed as poop. Waldron didn't even try play 2-3TE to help block with with how outmatched the O-line was against Anderson Jr/Hunter. Hell you saw Caleb try change things up and set protection on his own. But DeMeco as a defensive play caller does not make it easy. Caleb didn't have it easier looking for answers on his own because his OC did jack shit. Bears fans should be on a fraud watch not only for Waldron but for Eberflus.
All the hype and expectations will be the downfall of this kid and Nick Saban also knew when he had that meeting with Eberflus. To me he’s just a glorified playground QB. Also my Goodness he might be with out Keenan and Odunze against the Texans Sunday night…. not gonna help his case.
I really thought Williams was going to be amazing. Even in the pre-season he did things I've never seen a QB do. But, watching this tape, there's guys open and he's not making the throw - can't see them or doesn't like the throw. Too early to tell, but doesn't look good.
It’s Williams. Not the OC. Williams is a heisman winner but didn’t do anything his last season at USC. So going into the NFL, you can’t expect him to do much bc he doesn’t want to work. Spread style is what he learned at OU and USC under Riley. It’s also only week 3. So I’d be reluctant to say he’s a bust. But yeah he definitely has a celeb mindset and gets the diva treatment.
Im not one to call for someone job but Shane Waldron should not be a OC, he only has a job because he came from that Shanahan/Mcvay tree… coming from a Seahawks fan
As a USC fan, he doesn’t really take check downs. Playing hero ball in the nfl doesn’t work. The bears were better off drafting Bo Nix who I believe will be the better player
LEL Bo Nix isn't the best QB6 to be drafted in the past decade. Plus when the running game isn't working for the Broncos/Payton, you think Nix with his lack of air yards under the pig skin is going to move the offense? You're not a USC fan and Nix can never play hero ball in a shitty situation on a pro level. Dismissed.
Did you watch the game or just film? They called so many screens. So many Shane Waldron. Did a pretty good job actually play calling. His player usage could have been better tho. The batted balls the dropped TD and Caleb missed two deep wode open Td bombs. That would have changed the narrative
How can Ryan Poles and Matt Eberflus watch footage of the Seahawks offense with Waldron in 23' where Geno Smith regressed from the year prior with Dave Canales, and thought Shane Waldron was a good OC an a great match for a young QB. These owners/GM/Head Coaches keep hiring these mediocre recycled OCs who shouldn't call plays. And the reason they still keep getting hired is because of connection and everyone wants to find the next Sean McVay.
As much as Waldron is exposed as fraudulent, the real question is if Eberflus or Poles makes the changes *QUICK* . This season may be enough evidence not only to scrap the rest of the coaching staff (O-line is playing like garbage even if they don't have the best talents) but Flus as well for being mediocre even as a defensive head.
@@newsfeed2670 ok you definitely have never played football. There’s a difference between pre season players and players that will be permanent players before week 1. Yea he’s practiced with the ORGANIZATION. But not with players that will be on the team. A QB can love a certain type of offense with certain types of players but that doesn’t mean you’ll get them. Especially when you’re a rookie. If you’re Rodgers then yeah you can pick almost every player on offense
At Seattle, Waldron proved very limited at two key aspects: situational football and the "counterpunch". 3rd downs and red zone were awful. The opening script (heavily scripted first drive) was usually very good but after that came the bread and butter and most weeks that was it. I'm honestly stunned the Bears would task him with developing a rookie QB. Also, you're still a doofus for seriously analyzing Steelers preseason tape.

If you’ve ever played football you’d know that having a new playbook, new OC, new linemen, new style from your previous team takes way more then 1 week to get used to. You don’t just poof know exactly what will and what won’t work. It takes time. Even mahommes struggled year 1. The way I saw it was the OC being like ok let’s let him loose and welcome him to the NFL. And Williams being nervous to mess up didn’t pull the trigger when he should have. Something that can easily be fixed. Relax they’re just letting him put his feet in the water instead of a full on dive
Bruv its less about the offense not gelling together more than the OC not being an 'actual' scheme lord. Because if he was brought into the team for Xs and Os and he can't do that, why else is he in the building for? The Packers offense last year is a better example of needing time because Matt LaFleur had a rookie QB on their first year as a starter, an O-line still looking to develop and new young receivers. The passing game was a huge difference from Sep-Oct to Nov-Dec-playoffs. If Waldron isn't adjusting fast enough *WHEN* the offense is at least healthy, imagine he's gotta do it when Odunze and Allen are out and the O-line is iffy for the game.
@@t4d0W come back saying the same thing week 4. Relax he has to adjust. Everyone has to adjust. An incomplete pass does not automatically mean it’s QB fault. It could be linemen, routes, adjustments, miscommunications, etc.
@@t4d0W again we’re talking about a brand new system, brand new coach, brand new QB, heck even brand new GM. Everything has to cook brother. You can’t just judge a persons performance week one with those factors. That’s what I mean when I say, that’s how I know none of you even played football
@@t4d0W as a matter of fact, go watch rookie season of Payton manning then come talk
Then why not play him more during the pre season? Understand you don’t want people getting hurt, but if means getting your rookie QB week 1 ready. Why not give him more time in the preseason to work on seeing things and pass reads.
The bears not firing the coach last year was just ridiculous
I don't know about the plays being called and I'm not about to pretend I'm an OC. Why is nobody talking about how Titans DT's were getting busy all day long.
Great analysis!
Thank you!
Its one game they'll be better
I know a bunch of mouth breathers can't put it in perspective but Caleb in week 3 was not only at his best as a rookie, but displayed a better floor for QB play than what the Bears have had for starting QBs in the last 10 years. All while playing hero mode with no consistent run game, low tier O-line play and the OC committing weekend terrorism to see how to design a shitty offense. The Fields apologists will come around. But for the future Bear truthers, you got yourselves a franchise QB. Just gotta fix everything else around him for the long run.
This is what Da bears do 💯This is y I didn’t want Shane Waldron
"These stats are worse than Shannon Sharpe Instagram password" that killed me 🤣🤣🤣
Its unfortunate the world has hyped this man as some all time great when he was barely average in college. He has a long way to go to live up to the expectations. He most likely will never come close. Players as bad as he was in college take years to develop and we know the bears wont be that patient
Calling Caleb bad is crazy lmao. Jus say you don’t know anything about football. Even with a abysmal coordinator and no offensive line he still navigates the pocket well, has good mechanics, and gets the ball out quickly. He will be fine jus stick to watching hockey or whatever white people be watching
As a Seahawks fan very glad Waldron is gone. Knew this would not work out.
Pete, Waldron, and Hurtt made so many mistakes and we limped to 9-8 consistently in spite of them. there were some we should've won, most we didn't deserve to. we had a badly injured and horrible OL for a few weeks in 2023, did things right like 5 or 6 weeks out of the season and missed the playoffs. Don't get me wrong, I loved pete, but I'm glad he's gone and we got Mike and Grubb. While it'll take time, I know we have the potential to be even better than just perennial miss the playoffs but go 9-8 or losing in the first round of the playoffs.
I don't miss this
Can you go over the saints new OC and offensive scheme?
Might as well stay on the Bears and do a video on how to beat 5 pass rushers. Houston was all over him last night and the Bears had no answer.
Block 7 with TE + RB and run flood/sail/levels or any other high low concept.
@@me6017 Yeah, I agree. But they didn't do any of that. Wouldn't you just assume they are going to bring it each time?
DeMeco had a helluva gameplan on defense which resulted in a gaudy high amount of pressures against Caleb that day. Didn't help the Bears interior is exposed as poop. Waldron didn't even try play 2-3TE to help block with with how outmatched the O-line was against Anderson Jr/Hunter. Hell you saw Caleb try change things up and set protection on his own. But DeMeco as a defensive play caller does not make it easy. Caleb didn't have it easier looking for answers on his own because his OC did jack shit. Bears fans should be on a fraud watch not only for Waldron but for Eberflus.
I see Alex went to the Andrew Schulz School of Flagrant Commentary 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I'm just getting started 😈😂
All the hype and expectations will be the downfall of this kid and Nick Saban also knew when he had that meeting with Eberflus. To me he’s just a glorified playground QB. Also my Goodness he might be with out Keenan and Odunze against the Texans Sunday night…. not gonna help his case.
They will both be playing 100%
Should've kept Fields and surrounded him with this talent. But of course the Bears draft a shorter less athletic Fields
Tom Brady said something about this like this is how rookies fail. When there way to much on their plate to develop
I really thought Williams was going to be amazing. Even in the pre-season he did things I've never seen a QB do. But, watching this tape, there's guys open and he's not making the throw - can't see them or doesn't like the throw. Too early to tell, but doesn't look good.
What did he do in the preseason you've never seen? Haven't watched a lot of football I take it
@@calebmarek he had this out for a td that was right on the money. Like right on the money such a perfect throw.
Man the center doesn't know how even block
Wait. How do you know it was an offensive coordinator and not Caleb Williams asking to do what he knows best?
It’s Williams. Not the OC. Williams is a heisman winner but didn’t do anything his last season at USC. So going into the NFL, you can’t expect him to do much bc he doesn’t want to work. Spread style is what he learned at OU and USC under Riley. It’s also only week 3. So I’d be reluctant to say he’s a bust. But yeah he definitely has a celeb mindset and gets the diva treatment.
I think it’s a mix of both. The Seahawks offense already looks 10x better without Waldron so I feel like Waldron will really hold Caleb back.
No rookie is a superstar until proven
Just wondering if you still stand by what you said about him after the week 2 results
Basically hes nowhere as good as they thought he was and they need to dumb down the gameplan
Good video
Thank you!
Im not one to call for someone job but Shane Waldron should not be a OC, he only has a job because he came from that Shanahan/Mcvay tree… coming from a Seahawks fan
Well I wouldn’t say it’s his fault, rather flus the HC because he’s super defense minded and is terrible on offense
Fireable offense IMO.
HEY SHANE! ITS ROOKIE PLAYER, NOT ROOKIE DIFFICULTY LOL
Wow, Mercedes Lewis is still in the NFL? 🤯
Age 40!!!
The entire Bears coaching staff needed to be fired 2 years ago. Justin Fields could have been their franchise QB, but they failed him in coaching.
As a USC fan, he doesn’t really take check downs. Playing hero ball in the nfl doesn’t work. The bears were better off drafting Bo Nix who I believe will be the better player
Ya ok about Bo Nix being a good player🤣🤣🤣🤣
LEL Bo Nix isn't the best QB6 to be drafted in the past decade. Plus when the running game isn't working for the Broncos/Payton, you think Nix with his lack of air yards under the pig skin is going to move the offense? You're not a USC fan and Nix can never play hero ball in a shitty situation on a pro level. Dismissed.
@@t4d0W ya ok🤣🤣🤣
Did you watch the game or just film? They called so many screens. So many
Shane Waldron. Did a pretty good job actually play calling. His player usage could have been better tho. The batted balls the dropped TD and Caleb missed two deep wode open Td bombs. That would have changed the narrative
Waldron wasn’t the issue. Football must not be your strong suit
Shane Waldron tax
How can Ryan Poles and Matt Eberflus watch footage of the Seahawks offense with Waldron in 23' where Geno Smith regressed from the year prior with Dave Canales, and thought Shane Waldron was a good OC an a great match for a young QB. These owners/GM/Head Coaches keep hiring these mediocre recycled OCs who shouldn't call plays. And the reason they still keep getting hired is because of connection and everyone wants to find the next Sean McVay.
As much as Waldron is exposed as fraudulent, the real question is if Eberflus or Poles makes the changes *QUICK* . This season may be enough evidence not only to scrap the rest of the coaching staff (O-line is playing like garbage even if they don't have the best talents) but Flus as well for being mediocre even as a defensive head.
To be fair, Sweat and Simmons wrecked any chance of a gameplan
Someone needed to be fired that day.
Shannon Sharpe had more completions in the end zone than Caleb Williams
😂😂😂😂😂
Geeez give the coaches and him a chance to warm up. Barely week 1 and you calling him a dud
But then he wouldnt be able to create outrage content to get views 😢
@@newsfeed2670 ok you definitely have never played football. There’s a difference between pre season players and players that will be permanent players before week 1. Yea he’s practiced with the ORGANIZATION. But not with players that will be on the team. A QB can love a certain type of offense with certain types of players but that doesn’t mean you’ll get them. Especially when you’re a rookie. If you’re Rodgers then yeah you can pick almost every player on offense
@@newsfeed2670 again this is the difference between people who’ve played either people who just watches football on TV
That is not what I said.
just rename the video, 'So much over hype. Williams kinda sucks', all we heard was that he could do everything, give me a break, happens every year
Condemn a rookie qb after one game? Classic sign of dumb young person. You’re gonna destroy the world with your ignorance.
So basically shane waldron done went stupid in a year?
gotta take a look on the snf film like shit
In summary, this is just who the Bears are 😂
Yeah blah blah blah 94 yards. I can tell by this kid's aura he is going to be a star.
what aura? painting your nails pink is massive negative aura.
@@ldmb1966 seemed very comfortable managing an NFL offense first game. Totally cool. Video game arm. Caleb will hit trust me.
This been problem for years.
Bro thought he was Joe Burrow after week 8.
At Seattle, Waldron proved very limited at two key aspects: situational football and the "counterpunch". 3rd downs and red zone were awful. The opening script (heavily scripted first drive) was usually very good but after that came the bread and butter and most weeks that was it. I'm honestly stunned the Bears would task him with developing a rookie QB.
Also, you're still a doofus for seriously analyzing Steelers preseason tape.
Daaaaaabearrsssssss
Shane Waldron isnt the answer. (seahawks fan)
Imagine if they lost what the narrative would be 😂
Yall act like it's not the first game cj Stroud didn't look good, ethier give it time rome wasn't built in a day
bears players running open all over the field.
Super star rookie?! lol 😂
Watching this really shows how much of clowns the people on ESPN are with their one liner takes
