Rather than say “lol Brou cooked Nick” I’m going to try to sort out the disagreement and say why I think Brou was right. After all the yelling Nick implicitly admitted he was wrong to bring up the comparisons with great QB rookie seasons. His point is that other rookies would do about as badly in Caleb’s situation as Caleb has. And I think Brou showed he is wrong because Caleb is inaccurate and holds onto the ball, and everyone agrees Bears have at least solid talent. Caleb has flaws that you can’t just say “well it’s coaching and a bad team” and is not in an objectively terrible spot.

[@donovan4222]

I strongly detest the idea argument that because Manning threw a lot of interceptions his rookie year and had a 3-13 record that it suddenly means Caleb will have a similar career path is a pretty bad argument. We’ve seen plenty of rookie QBs do what Manning did their rookie season and out of the league in just a few years. Caleb is not guaranteed to have a HOF career just because his rookie season is similar to Manning’s.

You better believe it Caleb set us back years

[@ly_bb]

I think in basically every Nick argument, you could find an inconsistency to another take. Especially where Purdy, Lamar or Jayson Tatum is concerned.

[@tome373402]

People don’t point out enough how good the pieces around Caleb and CJ are. Especially in comparison to the other recent high pick qb Bryce. Last year he had the worst Oline and receiving room in the league and still has probably the worst receiving room in the league. Definitely shouldn’t be written off

[@byronsmith3152]

He has actually really improved this year. I think that benching lit a nice fire.

[@bobumbel]

Sam Howell 6'1" 220 lbs | Caleb Williams 6'1" 215 lbs. Here are some other numbers that show similarities. Sam Howell 2023 season stats: Passing Yards 3,946 / Yds/Pass 6.4 / Rating 78.9 / Sacks 65 / Lost Sack Yds 449 / 6 games with 300 yards passing Caleb Williams Passing Yards 3,393 / Yds/Pass 6.4 / Rating 87.4 / Sacks 67 / Lost Sack Yds 459 / 4 games with 300 yards passing Both hold the ball too long, take sacks and do not play on time/schedule in structure of offense. Both excel at off schedule running around and find open receiver but the NFL that will not work. At the NFL level everyone is fast if not faster than either of them.

[@brittanyd9447]

Thank you! I have been using him as an example because I suffered through Howell last year as a Commanders fan

[@tobieaina]

Very astute comparison. I still think Caleb shows more promise but time will tell

[@Guccifinesse]

And I said this to bears fans that wanted a 4000 yard passer so much liek so you guys would take Howell over fields and some people seriously said yes 😢

[@sharptrader5821]

This is an excellent point-I don't think Caleb's lack of size gets acknowledged enough and is a real concern for how high his ceiling can be

[@marybowles6908]

Yes!! Washington fan n all those sacks Howell took has ruined him!! He hasn't played the same since last year !! It ruins them like David Carr!! Caleb is gonna break his record for most sacks!

[@bobbyparker3215]

Jayden Daniel's is winning some Big games with a way worse team, Let's be fair here Caleb not doing so great this season 😂

[@xrppornstar9483]

Nick- you lose points with people listening to you when you predict the bears in the SB this season- Nick come on bruh. Come on

[@everdash]

Nick's QBs this season: Caleb, Geno, and Lawrence. Soak that in.

[@drg8687]

Nick sunk his argument when he admitted Maye is in a worse situation but only has 1 less win with a game at hand.

[@egorkou15]

I’m old enough to remember when people were saying it’s unusual for a QB to inherit such a great situation roster wise. Defense played great late last season and all these weapons on the offensive side. Now all of a sudden it’s an impossible situation that no rookie could have succeeded in

[@rickyufo88]

You know when Nick wright uses stats to defends his argument that he is wrong. Let’s get that intervention asap for Nick

[@rosschirstopher]

Even Nick was confused by what he was saying

[@shanedwayne822]

Watching Nick talk about Caleb is a hard watch

[@mawuliklutse7652]

Watching him talk about any QB he likes that’s underperforming vs watching him talk about QBs he doesn’t like that are underperforming is a world of difference.

[@Spacetime_Odyssey7]

Watching him speak in general at this point is triggering.

[@Jimmynosho]

this was the craziest segment of mental gymnastics ive heard from this show in a bit lol

[@mrhoneycutter]

Wildes and Brou are 100% right. While I’ll give Caleb a pass in his first year seeing as he had a nightmare of a head coach and it’s his rookie year. That said, it is patently absurd to say that Caleb “had a good first year”, considering all the weapons he had available to throw to and the team’s overall defensive strength.

[@kneeltojesus8600]

Nick had the Bears in the Super Bowl but is trying to make us believe he knows what he’s talking about…. Right…..

[@Jc0803]

Wildes, Brou and I all made the same face when Nick started talking about Caleb lolol

[@SShaBazzz]

Did Nick call Brady the second greatest?

[@ernestday7148]

Thank you Wildes. Nicks blatant stupidity and inability to admit when hes wrong is hitting unbelievable levels at this point.

[@RealAlias1]

BROU SPEAKS FOR THE PEOPLE ! CALEB & CO. is BUNS

[@El-hefe_]

Joe Burrow was drafted into a bengals team that was the reason they had the #1 pick and was terrible. Caleb was drafted #1 because the Bears held the Panthers pick and everyone in the media said that the 2024 Bears team is stacked and the best ever team for a #1 overall pick to come into..

[@xionxxx3359]

Who cares they both were still #1 picks. Plus anyone that thought the bears were stacked were fools because the haven’t had an offensive line for at least 3 plus seasons or more.

[@El-hefe_]

@ anyone with a brain cares about the difference in the quality of team that drafts #1 overall because they are the worst team the previous season vs picking #1 overall because of a trade from the previous draft.. The NFL media was all over the Bears.. Caleb sucks and is worst than Bryce tbh. If a defence holds a team to 6 and they only score 3 then it’s 100% on the the QB.

[@kardave2848]

Patrick Mahomes is to blame because he tricked the Bears into not drafting him!

[@mawuliklutse7652]

Is nick insane or something? Was he not the same person who put Caleb on Mahomes Mountain last season before he was even drafted, then proceeded to give a bears to the superbowl prediction?

[@isiahnelsoniv]

Grateful for Brou for calling out Nick on this 🙌🏾

[@christopherwilliams2351]

0:37 all time First Things First moment

[@shabazz6679]

If we being real, the Bears GM might have been the most productive person in that franchise this year, the roster is solid and got nothing but praise all off-season, now he should be fired, make it make sense

[@JustSomeGuy009]

Peyton Manning having struggled is going to now forever be used as a comparison when a rookie stinks. 😂🤦‍♂️

[@soda8736]

Yes but how many Rookies struggled never became Peyton Maining? Most of them

[@mat6522]

@@soda8736 tbf a lot get taken out or passed around before they really have the chance to develop or get in a good situation, ie Darnold and Baker are finally showing they might be franchise QBs (Baker at this point has proven himself)

[@lorichet]

It wasn't just Manning. Josh Allen, John Elway, Troy Aikman, Jard Goff, Terry Bradshaw all really struggled in their rookie years. Most rookies struggle.

[@michaeljohnson7945]

The problem with the comment "Peyton Manning struggled as a rookie" is that it doesn't consider the era in which he played. Manning was first in the NFL in passing attempts, second in completions, third in passing yards, fifth in touchdown passes and fifth in passing yards per game. The only reason his name comes up is because of the interceptions, but again there is no context to all the rule changes that have helped quarterbacks and wide receivers shortly after Manning entered the NFL.

[@tjofford5664]

Broussard and Wilds looking at each other simultaneously 😂😂😂

[@Lexyboogie]

Nick completely lost me with this coping display. Bro’s acting like he wasn’t one of the main pundits setting the ridiculously high expectations for Caleb. I love Nick but his Caleb hype and lack of acknowledgement of his role in boosting him, has kind of dinged him as a pundit in my eyes. He needs to just take the L like a man and say that his expectations were too high for him instead of trying to justify himself to the fans. It’s really cringe.

[@burnerbill7372]

He said multiple times that he was wrong for predicting Williams to the SB and fully admitted he was the main guy behind the high expectations. It's like you didn't watch the video lol, how is he acting like he wasn't the main guy setting the expectations?
