But he stated he watched and watches Rogers and the way he threw/throws and operates his form in motion or in the pocket. He also said that he uses his that with his own playstyle. So he is the "evolution" of the NFL QB to come in and be ready for the fast-lane of the NFL. Besides that, already living off "baby millions" from college.

You might want to raise your standards on Qb's man... If he can play better in the season then we will talk.... It was just his second outing so good luck... I just thought it was funny how much praise he has been getting for nothing... They would hammer Burrow until the end Let me tell ya if we did that bad against a 2nd string defense at any time in the preseason or season....

Oh brother! Patrick Mahomes is the closest thing we've seen to Patrick Mahomes!

[@T.R.75]

lol bit early isnt it? Bears fans already think Canton needs to get the gold jacket ready for Caleb. hilarious. you either figure it out, or get figured out. Caleb isnt even at the get figured out phase yet. lol.

[@TylerHolt-n5q]

How long does it take you to figure this out?

[@jamesbickle4912]

What Bears fans? Not me. Not any of my Bears friends? Jealousy from Bears haters.

[@T.R.75]

@@jamesbickle4912 thats great, but ive seen 100s in comment sections glazing Caleb already. especially after the week 1 preseason game. you and you friends have common sense. gratz. not a Bears hater btw, could care less. what gets me is overreactions.

Please stop saying the chiefs qb name

It's called preseason can people at least wait till he's played against real starters for full games and week and after week and see what he does before you try and crown him for fucks sake

"The next coming of Patrick Mahomes..." We hear this nearly every season now and it'll never be true, Mahomes is a one of one. Also he watched Rodgers growing up and it was his game he wanted to emulate, not Mahomes. I know it feels like Mahomes has been around forever but he's only 28, just 6 years older than Williams.

[@stephenjablonski3261]

It seems like all the hyped quarterbacks are mediocre at best. Baker Mayfield and Trevor Lawrence both had major hype, and their not that great.even Josh fallen struggled early. Patrick Mahomes didn't get a lot of hype till he actually started playing in the regular season,and he is awesome. Just my thoughts...

[@jonXler]

People keep saying its the Mahomes influence when Caleb himself says it was Rodgers. But ok

[@razkable]

Caleb plays and is dumb like rodgers so that fits...he won't ever win or be mahomes so

[@RobertRagland-bj6wz]

Great he's made a few plays...But let's not forget something here.. Keep an eye on him getting sacked and not getting rid of the ball so he don't get sacked.. . Why ? So 2 years ago he was sacked 30 ..yes 30 times...So in off-season they went to work on that and ? Well the next year he was sacked 33 times...Not to mention he was up in the stands crying as his mom held onto him after a college loss...We will see..But bears fans already sold he is tge guy that their savior.. Good luck..Good Luck

I thought zach wilson was the next pat mahomes

[@jamesbickle4912]

If Caleb Williams becomes Aaron Rodgers, (Who he models his game after.) and not Mahommes, Bears fans will be very happy.

Luckman? lol Mike likes to erase the entire 1980s bears from existence. It was a bad time for him and his Vikings.
