A couple thoughts in general from this segment: 1. Boy has this become one of my favorite NFL general talk shows in general, especially with your great on-set chemistry. I hope you get to supplant other below-average talk shows in the NFL/ESPN :) 2. Considering how the Bears have been pretty unsuccessful at developing QBs in the past decade, I'm definitely in the "wait and see" mode to see how Caleb ends up being in the NFL. At the moment, I think Nick is a bit too much on the hype train with Caleb Williams...

I’ll say this, Caleb has some good weapons around him. DJ Moore and Keenan Allen are proven veterans and Rome Odunze seems like an excellent prospect.

[@thechannel2398]

True. Imagine what Justin Fields could have done with those receivers. D.J. Moore had a career season with Fields as his QB. Caleb Williams has never played in the NFL and is suggesting, expecting and promising too much. I wish he would verbalize his desire to be a playoff team instead of guaranteeing it.

[@dominicpancella3012]

Cole Kmet was also an underrated security blanket for Fields, and they've got a decent running back room to take some heat off the passing game. I just don't know that the offensive line-which for years was the biggest detriment to Fields' development-has improved that much. Caleb might be running for his life a little bit.

[@johnbox271]

Come January, should the Bear miss the playoffs, the excuses will be the Bears never gave him weapons.

[@rudign]

I can’t believe we are at the time in society where stating the obvious gets likes

[@MeetTheSLAYER]

@@johnbox271 that is completely untrue. He comes to a team with weapons in place, something that JF NEVER had. JF had Kmet and DJ added to the mix for 1 year. A decent ground game. So yeah we can say that for JF, but not for CW. Ground game is improved with the addition of Swift, then added ANOTHER future HOF WR in Allen to DJ already in place, then give him a rookie WR in Odunze. CW has the weapons in place, so that is not even going to be a spark to a debate if the floor comes out from under them.

[@GoatedAtNFS]

Nick is 100% correct Here’s Caleb Williams’s defensive rankings when he started games: 2021: 60th 2022: 94th 2023: 116th it progressively got worse under Lincoln Riley. Caleb ran for his life on 80% of the offense snaps, with the mindset of “I gotta score on every possession or else we’re losing the game” so he goes for near hail marys every possession. Here’s Patrick Mahomes’s defensive rankings when he started (college) 2014: 84th 2015: 122nd 2016: 126th this is all while maintaining high yard and TD average in the (back then weak) Big-12. he lost his OL the last year I believe just like Caleb Williams did.

I was completely against CW being drafted by the Bears. I watched college games, then about 2 months ago I went back and watch the game films for CW. That alone changed my mind on the kid. He has the tools to do the job. Now if the Bears can actually develop a QB, which they have not done in almost 100 years.

[@YodaSmokes]

Caleb will appreciate his defense just getting a few stops 😂

[@scatterbrainedstation8985]

I think this is Nick's worst take... the talent on both sides of the ball improves dramatically. Windows are so much tighter, coaching is all around better. I'm not saying he won't be good, but I think this is a terrible argument.

[@xcwilliams7980]

Playing with better teammates could mean better protection, more open receivers and he doesnt have to score 40 to win

[@SkyJW15]

Especially when you start to compare him to someone like Stroud. People like to highlight how good CJ's base mechanics are with his footwork and how great his arm proved to be in terms of both power and accuracy, but the thing that REALLY separated CJ as a rookie was how well he reads defenses. The guy was picking up the habits of veteran defensive players and using that to sniff out coverages which is bananas for a rookie QB. I also think Caleb could wind up being a good or even great QB, but we really need to see him against NFL defenses. USC didn't play that many great defensive teams in the Pac-12 and I don't think he ever confronted one of the vaunted SEC defenses that are about as close to NFL caliber as college defenses can get. He absolutely has the physical toolset to be great, but you can't judge him properly until he's playing against NFL defenses. He could flourish, but he could also really struggle against some solid defenses up and down that schedule.

[@cobbler88]

Windows are tighter? Anyone else think that the last couple of decades of rules changes, making it an affront to God to tough receivers and QBs, has led to TIGHTER throwing windows? 🤣 You can drive a truck through those windows now. And let's not pretend that these coaches know so much more than previous generations. They were simply brought up within a different set of parameters. Tom Landry could have run the offenses they do now. It just would have gotten his QBs and receivers killed back then. Coaching changes to reflect the current realities of the game. And those realities are why certain schemes can no longer be run.

He still is a bit sloppy, but we can see the benefit he had working with Reid and a well run team. It's hard to know what you're getting at QB in the NFL unless they're a flawless prospect like Luck or Elway.

[@TheFinalClimax]

Late to the party here, but Sean Payton was high on Mahomes coming out in 2017. As far as the argument of his evaluation of QBs goes. He talked a little bit about it on The Herd, where he was going to take Mahomes at 11 before KC jumped ahead of them. Mahomes actually referenced this on The New Heights podcast with Travis and Jason Kelce. Saying he essentially tipped off KC to New Orleans' interest. So, KC knew where to trade up to get him.

Bo will be the best qb in the draft.

Caleb didn’t invent the Bear claw. It’s been around for a long time.

[@larrylindgren9484]

Not sure why the Talking Heads hate Nix. Watch the tape. He was really good last year. He was better than Williams. I think he'll run the offense well in Denver. He gets the ball out of his hand. Something Williams only does when he fumbles it. He's like JJ. A higher floor but a lower ceiling. They both play 15 years. Williams might not. His floor is a bust. Nix and JJ's floor is not bust. I willing to bet both have long careers. Maybe no better but longer.

NFL for QBs is so much easier than college cause you can’t really tackle the qb cause so many tackles are now flagged

I’m a Bears fan and super excited for this but man all the hype around him is starting to scare me because when’s the last time someone this hyped up out of college actually went anywhere and did anything? Good thing is is if he’s even half of what he’s being hyped up to by with the weapons around him we should still be a playoff team.

Nick crushing Chris as usual 😂

[@connor_phillipz5689]

All I'm rooting for with Caleb is for Nick to have to eat his words. Caleb's arrogant attitude and comments are making that more and more likely.

@@hockeyfan1799 is that why russ, geno, drew, and baker all credit Dave canales for there sucess and not a single player has talked fondly of shane waldron yes the line was injured but that doesnt explain why every defense called out our plays before we made them except the lions

[@hockeyfan1799]

@@user-og7pr3qp9v Waldron's worked under Belichick, McVay, and obviously Carroll who have all sung praises. He is the most underrated playcaller in the league and was one of the most sought-after coaches in the off-season for a reason. I'm not worried in the slightest.

[@youngmindelevation1176]

Caleb not wrong for saying he chasing immortality…if he throws for more than 4000 yards he will be accomplish just that….not to mention if he takes the Bears to a superbowl and win one after 35+ years of not winning

[@cobbler88]

It's just an empty statement. Anyone can say they're "chasing immortality" about pretty much anything.

[@JFlex76]

They do know QBs can usually play into their late 30s, right? Now a 24 year old RB would be a different story.

@@RenR70 Was that supposed to be a comeback? I mean, I'm not surprised that you're one-note with no facts to offer to support what you're claiming, given the use of "cuz," but every once in awhile it IS nice to see if the person on the other end of the screen is actually up for discussion, or whether he should sit quietly at the card table in the corner with the rest of the children and listen.

there’s no way this cocky QB is thinking he’s going to dominate for the reasons nick stated. he’s simply a cocky college player who’s about to find out how much better the nfl is than college
