Brock Purdy (Only started 5 regular season games) and CJ Stroud both handled their business as rookies with teams deep in the playoffs in successive years. This is a thing now and McCoy needs to realize that the time he has been out of football changes have been made for instant success if you have a great team around you! Ben Roethlisberger went 13-0 in 2004 as a rookie QB and went to the playoffs. Joe Flacco also led his team to the playoffs in 2008, his rookie year! Russell Wilson and Mark Sanchez did the same! 21 rookies have been in playoff games as QB's in NFL history, but once they are there most haven't fared too well. This conversation is about making it to the playoffs and not how well they play in the playoffs! Shady has not done his research! Sanchez and Flacco both rookies lead their team to 8-7 and 11-5 records making it to the AFC Championship game, so anything is possible when that rookie QB is part of a good team. I hope and pray Shady eats his words!

[@johanx466]

The Houston Texans record in 2022 is 3-13-1. Their record in 2023 is 10-7. It's definitely possible that the Bears have a NFC North "competitive" dominance. Given the players that the Bears have going into the draft, and now the players that they have added from the draft, I'm more inclined to believe that this years Bears team will live up to their potential and perhaps beyond. There is no doubt this team and Caleb Williams is a part of that reason why. It's certainly one of the reasons why he was expected to go number 1 and why the Bears chose him. Plus, his favourite player is Aaron Rodgers, so Caleb's favourite team are the Packers. I say this as a devoted Chicago Bears supporter, but I'm kool with a Green Packers fan "Caleb Williams" to help elevate the Bears and its diehard supporters to the promise land. Besides, it was a Greenbay Packers player that slammed Jim McMahon on his throwing shoulder that significantly changed his ability to be the QB that he could've been. McMahon could ball! Caleb Williams has a bit of that bravado that Jim McMahon had and the "psychotic" determination that Michael Jordan has during his career. That's a great recipe for something special! Im looking forward to this journey indeed. It will be more than a "shuffle" it'll be a tectonic shift. One can hope! 😉

[@spiritualarchitect4276]

If the Bears defense continues to hold up, I think Caleb and his new receivers and running back should be good for at least 3 more wins than last year. Not sure if 10 wins is good enough to make the playoffs though. But I CAN see them winning 12. Here is how: They split their 3 division games, lose at the Texans and lose to the Rams at home, that’s 5 losses. Then they go on the road and beat the Cardinals, Colts, Commanders and my 49ers, who will be dealing with their Super Bowl Jinx. And at home they beat the Titans, Patriots, Panthers, Jaguars and Seadogs. That leaves them at 12-5.

[@who.is.kswervo]

It's hard to say contenders just yet ONLY because of the division they're in. The Lions were a game away from the Super Bowl and they've added some solid pieces in the draft as well. And the Packers also bulked up this offseason too, they're a young team who's also a playoff team thats already somewhat proven. And the Vikings could be a sleeper team. So will the Bears be better? absolutely! Will they be competitive? Absolutely! BUT it'll be a little more difficult than it sounds. I think they have a legit shot tho, I'm a believer in Caleb Williams.

Can someone tell me if you have to crank the volume way up on all of their videos? why is the audio SO low?!?!

[@justinkase357]

QBs biggest challenge from college to pros is reading Defenses. So many great college QBs couldn’t understand defenses in the pros. Manziel, Tebow, etc…

[@thekingofabs8490]

I think the discussion is reasonable. However, the expectation for Caleb is to be a 4000+ yard, 35 TD, 10am or less QB with about 10fumbles. The Bears should make the playoffs barring major injury.

[@Charles-Lawrence]

But also Caleb was working out with Keenan DJ and Rome before the draft that has to count for their chemistry

[@bluntballoons7238]

Joy’s expectation and capabilities take was good. And Acho disagreed but his example exemplified Joy’s point. His 7 or 9 games to 11 games shows that: the expectation is 7 or 9, but the jump to 11 is clearly what he sees them as capable of playing. Because if the rookie nature Joy was speaking about wasn’t presented, I doubt the floor would be where Acho put it.

[@TheMetal213]

Joy switched up her energy REAL FAST! 😂

[@kevinwilliams7252]

Again with these freeze frames again. I believe Fox just don't show clips. That freeze frame look like Madden man.😂😂😂😂😂

[@user-dh8ei7ty6d]

I Love all this bear talk and love it's a new feeling and I love it

[@C_71]

Coming from Chicago, I see the NFC north being a tough division. I think they they can all go to the playoffs! Everyone is younger at key parts, and they're all starting to draft well!: The entire league is getting better!

[@bluebearaustin]

Great take guys!!! I dig it.

[@GillieWilson-ze2df]

Yes .Bears got 3 starters, most important position in sports, QB . Top rated WR, Odunze . BEST punter and in years, .Taylor .Who elseimprovedin NFC North?

[@user-xr9li2sz6l]

Poles, if you are correct, Caleb may need to run around and throw “off script” in shoot-outs all year to win games. Build Inside out, not outside in.

[@raprevenue1922]

Bears went 2-2 with a undrafted rookie. Safe to say Caleb can go over .500 with a top 5 defense and a repertoire of weapons around him.

[@therickyvvlogs5525]

Bro if cowboys made it to playoff with rookies … why not have playoff expectations for the bears … awesome defense , AMAZING OFFENSE!!

[@johnfuzz5179]

I think it’s better that they’re all starting with a new office because now they can all grow into it. They’re all on a learning curve and they will all help each other more. This team is going to be very close. They are going to make a lotta great relationships on this team.

[@trueeco2951]

To me, the question is, who's hungry? Moore has been looked over as a WR I in the NFL, he's plays like a beast because he has a chip on his shoulder. Does Caleb, Rome or Allen have that chip? Swift or these TE's. Are they gonna play to exceed expectations or just play for money and for personal goals? What drives these guys to play next level. That's what makes champions who going to lead these men to go beyound what they think they are capable of; these are the intangibles that make all the difference 😉.

[@yaserahmed8216]

I mean for a team that won as many games as the Bears won with horrible QB play and now adding 3 elite offensive players where the Bears struggled definitely makes this team a team that should make the playoffs tbh. Their expectation should be making the playoffs. The QB position is already better, the defense is already better and now we have probably the best WR room in the NFL. Might even have the 2nd best offensive team in the NFL on paper. DJ Moore, kmet, Allen, swift, and Odunze and I didn’t even get to the QB.

[@Justin-oi7jt]

I love how Dave is calm and just makes sense, like why is Shady comparing Mitch and that offense to the current offense

[@stevenperales1249]

Shady acts like Stroud is the first rookie QB to make the playoffs

[@kelsowilz2522]

It's ok for us to have different expectations. We all have our reasons for our expectations. To me it's reasonable to conclude that even though the Bears were 7-10 with the team they had last year, they significantly upgraded their offense and got what I would think to be a better quarterback even if he is a rookie. He's a "generational rookie" that we've never seen on a team this good on paper! A good example would be the Niners a year ago. Look what Brock Purdy did with the Niners. So you think Purdy is better than Williams? Chicago is going after the division and they expect to be able to compete for it. I'll ride with them instead of panelists who go by what traditionally happens in the league. Panelists say that "the last pick in the draft as a rookie QB shouldn't be able to go 8-0 and lead a team to the NFC championship like "Purdy" did." Panelists say that "a rookie quarterback shouldn't be able to lead a team to a playoff win like Stroud did. "BOTH HAPPENED." As of late, there is more evidence to reason that Chicago will make the playoffs if Williams and the Bears stay healthy. They believe they will and so do us fans who watch the game closely!

[@ye7006]

Shady brought up Mitch and Peyton as if those two dudes didn’t go to the worst teams in the league. Caleb is going into a top 5 offense on paper in the nfl, AND a good defense too!

[@luisares5365]

And we can't forget and give all the praise to love. He played a big part. N. R situation, but Seattle play the real part. Because they neglected to give us Russell Wilson. We wouldn't have been in this situation.

[@rcbrown22]

Love Dave on the show

[@davidbluitt1394]

McCoy know he hating bro why they always hating on the bears just for that as a die hard bears fan we finna SMASH THE LEAGUE BEAR DOWN BABY

[@user-bj8xw6dl2g]

This Bears team is going to be a nightmare for opposing coaches to prepare for. Already a top 5 defense since the addition of Sweat. Now more loaded than a twice baked potato on offense. Good luck stopping that! Da Monsters of the Midway are back, baby!

[@Slideee5Ent]

Get off Caleb’s sack , the media will make you dislike people that are great people like my lord. He hasn’t played a snap yet , give the man time to get use to the nfl

[@MrDemolition-zl7rg]

Doesn't make sense to me, he's able to reason about the fast that it's 1st year ppl and a rookie in Caleb but the it was different for JF1 when he never had a 1/3 of this talent.

[@jamess2764]

Shady is low key sweet on Caleb he’s just acting like a 3rd grader who’s in love and kicks shins instead of being nice.

[@shodmoney4538]

I can’t wait when the same season start

[@mcronn1002]

Because the Packers and Lions 🦁 are already established teams.!! My hope is Williams is good enough to compete with Goff/Love. It’s really a wait and see. These debates are fruitless.!!

[@brandenmorgan1446]

I love the Talking Heads just like anyone else. We watched this to get information. But I'm a bears fan in my heart. I feel if we stayed with Jf1 and acquire the pieces. We have now what I'll say. We can win 11 games.

[@rodneyjones6336]

This gonna be the best season ever because alot of teams that be bad alot including my Lions will be good so it will be alot of unknowns and that's what makes it exciting

[@wesburbstally7391]

Bro LeSean always has these crazy answers, that don’t make sense. E said some of the good teams got worse, and some got exposed. What does that have to do with the bears picks being rookies, or the bears improving? Don’t just be contrary, find out what the segment will be, then look up statistics. That’s so you can have an informed opinion 😁

[@jr388]

They need JJ back fast. Shady just disagrees to disagree and Joy follows him. Cho and JJ have their own minds and speak it.

[@user-wb4um2iq4t]

I ❤ joy Taylor so much ❤️😊
