THE HERD | Colin Cowherd STUNNED, Caleb Williams Has Been The WORST Rookie QB | Chicago Bears, NFL

[@chazzhammer425]

Its laughable hearing the so called experts criticizing a ROOKIE QB in the NFL who has 3,271 passing yds, 19 TD's, 5 INT's, 62.2% Comp, 442 rushing yards, hasn't thrown a pick in like 306 attempts. (NFL Rookie record by like a 100) and is about 97 off of the all time NFL record of Aaron Rodgers. Caleb has broken every single Bears Rookie QB records. All this with a team that fired their HC, OC and is 4-11 in the toughest division in the NFL.

[@JayFitness1005]

That's all they can do is hate because of the record. These guys are straight up clowns. Never mention the stats.

[@psygolf7120]

Malik Willis has a comp % higher than all rookies as well…probably could’ve maintained it with help of LeFleur. Is he better than all of them as well?

[@bobumbel]

@ lol 😝 well if he had at least 10-15 games played like the other rookie QBs. He has what under 50 pass attempts this season.

[@khuncho28]

I can’t give him the excuse of a bad roster/ organization. Going into the season, the mainstream media was raving about how this is the best situation a rookie Qb has ever gone in to. No one complained about the roster until they started losing. Yes, he’s talented but it takes a lot more than that to be a good/great NFL quarterback. There have been plenty of talented qbs in the league that were trash.

[@bigdogstatus83]

You’re not too smart. He’s had the most turmoil of any rookie QB in the last 30 years! 3 different offensive coaches in this first season?! Yes … 3!!! And two different head coaches! wtf are you smoking?! No QB can deal with that, let alone a rookie!

[@ThePatient1991]

It does get to a point though where all of his games lately don’t matter. It’s hard to judge. They get blown out in the first half so then naturally the defense takes it easier and let’s up. When the game is in the balance they look like crap. It is a wait and see situation at this point.

[@303offroad]

If you watch Calebs tape in college it was a similar issue. He has a tendency to hold onto the ball and try to make the incredible play rather then play within structure and hit the receiver in rhythm. He obviously has a great arm but he needs to fix his eyes, footwork and processing. These are tall orders for a QB to fix but we have seen it done. This draft is super talented though and when all the experts kept praising Caleb as this generational talent I didn't see it. I thought Jayden Daniels was a better prospect, Maye needed some work with his mechanics which he has made crazy progress on and nix/penix were the more pro ready QBs with how many starts they had. Penix obviously has one of the best arms and Bo was already making adjustments at the line and reading defenses and was sneaky athletic. Caleb has all the tools but theres a lack of maturity. All in all I think this draft has a chance to have 5 incredible QBs who all have different tool sets.

[@travisoshea]

I’ve seen his college tape from every game in his last year at USC. His OL was beyond horrible at USC and could get after him with 3 down which then had him holding onto the ball longer. This was not a tendency. Riley has a lot of Air Raid and spread offence concepts to get rid of the ball quickly. It’s more of what was said in this video as to him being a more anticipatory thrower and in my opinion I think it’s more of a confidence thing with Caleb and not a talent issue or that he cannot do it. He’s done it this year and at USC, it’s just not consistent

[@travisoshea]

Also, can you elaborate more on Caleb’s footwork and Mayes mechanics?

[@robertsnow4909]

I wanted penix but caleb with a good coach will be one helluva QB.

[@303offroad]

@@travisoshea holding onto the ball is the antithesis to an anticipatory thrower. Essentially he doesn't trust his reads which works hand in hand with your evaluation of less confidence. As far as footwork he doesn't have smooth drops and sometimes it looks like he hasn't been coached up on how to make a 3 or 5 step drop he's just stepping without intention leading to bad rhythm/timing on the play. Caleb has the talent in his arm there is no doubt about that he makes ridiculous plays all over the place but he needs to fix the easy plays and inconsistent play. To be successful in the NFL you have to execute the easy stuff 90 percent of the time and then the other 10 percent is the crazy mahommes/Allen esque plays which Caleb definitely has. For Maye he had some odd footwork and a weird release coming out of college which led to inconsistent accuracy which he has made incredible strides on this season. Both guys have the talent to be great QBs I think it's just going to depend on whether Caleb has a good coach to help him fix these issues and whether he will be coachable.

[@travisoshea]

@ he will be incredible. The guy in less than what 24 months has had 3 different Playcallers and 3 different HCs and will now have to possibly learn another offence. Like yea there is no way any one can have the expectation of greatness.

[@SauceRicky88]

He right, n Caleb can’t read defenses Colin is missing that point

[@tonyhollingsworth8361]

He is able to read defenses and especially compared to Justin Fields it's not even close and that was one of his strengths in college and all the QB experts before he was drafted for saying that but when you have defenses getting to you inside of 2.6 seconds it's kind of hard to read a defense cuz you're running for your life you still got a lot to learn buddy

[@SauceRicky88]

@ no he can’t that’s why he’s not able to set up the protection correctly before the snap. What are you talking about?😂

[@hoyouin]

[@paulhester489]

How come Caleb only rookie QB that OC and HC were fired? Currently debate raging about GM Poles. Perhaps Caleb is the reason Bears have so much dysfunction. Caleb had been regressing his last year at USC. Hello! You play to win the game. Not to make Caleb look good.

[@ryanpolesdumbdick]

The OC was clearly in over his head and even Seahawks fans were saying that Waldron would not be a good hire for the Bears. Matt Eberflus was blowing games and losing before Caleb was even drafted. But thanks for playing Paul.

[@ddm62571]

The guy is wrong because Caleb does throw with anticipation I've watched every throw Caleb has taken as a Bears and the problem Caleb does have is he's waiting for the big play too much. The Bears are often faced with 3rd and long and 2nd and long because of the penalties they take. He needs to hit his check down some more like he did last game.

[@JWLSports]

He has not thrown with anticipation to the level we’ve seen Bo and JD. That’s as clear as day. We even saw it with Penix in his first game doing it at an incredibly high level.

[@bobumbel]

@@JWLSportsabsolutely. It appears Caleb doesn’t trust or waits till the receiver is open and by then it too late. He holds the ball way too long and takes sacks and an all time NFL high thinking he can get away with out running defenders at the NFL like he did in high school and college

I can see saying that Daniel’s had a better season than Williams cause he did. Daniels deserves rookie of the year cause he earned it! But saying that Nix or Maye has been better than Caleb just isn’t true, and especially not true for Penix simply because he hasn’t played nowhere near as much as any of the other rookie QB’s

[@bucketlistcommunity]

I love your take on things!!! You get it!!! Keep these great perspectives coming! Only the future will tell..... let's wait and see.

[@IMAC1776]

In the calamitous end to the Thanksgiving game in Detroit Caleb actually did throw that final pass with anticipation and if Rome had made a bit more effort he could have caught it for a winning TD but he seemed to give up on the route. This has been overlooked in the chaos of Eberflus not calling a time out.

[@travisoshea]

This whole Caleb season has been funny to me. Before the season when pretty much everyone was syakfn that Caleb and the Bears were going to be unstoppable and a playoff team I said differently. Reasons were because of what system he ran in college with Lincoln Riley vs what he was going to do with Waldroun. No he did not hold the ball too long on college. There is plenty of tape to support this and he was for the most part the best player on the field and many times just had to make plays which he did. Now fast forward 5 months later and everyone is saying “you could see this in college” which you couldn’t and most people said he would be a bust because he painted his nails or crowd to his mom after a loss. No one was talking about him holding onto to the all in preseason and in training camp and even the first month of the season. I’ve now become the Caleb defender because soo many people have to be so far on the right side of a take.

[@JWLSports]

I think it’s obvious Caleb will be redeemed eventually. I know things are a mess right now, but it’s still clear to me he has talent. I think people are ok with Bo and JD looking good. But they struggle with Drake.

[@travisoshea]

@ funny thing to is that I forgot to mention is, when did we get after QBs for not turning the ball over. Yes Matt touched on this in this video but, com’on man. What down do these un-necessary sacks come? Is on 2nd and long and 3rd down

[@JWLSports]

How do you feel about his anticipation take?

[@travisoshea]

@ I don’t 100% agree and it has become more of a talking point. I’ve seen him make many throws with anticipation and even tight window throws. I’d say it’s more of a confidence thing and just trusting his eyes. Just throw the ball when it’s there. Hasselbeck knows miles more than me so I’d like to ask him what he’s seeing.

That game winning Hail Mary from Jayden Daniels and the Commanders really hurt the bears lol. Just give Caleb some time to develop, but that won’t happen unless the bears bring in a good head coach like Mike Vrabel. Or go the other route and bring in an offensive mind like Ben Johnson. Or even better bring Ben as the head coach and offensive play caller and bring Vrabel in as your Defensive Coordinator. The bears need leadership and discipline on that coaching staff that will wake up that bears locker room! And Mike Vrabel is that guy. That’s my thought, bears have so much talent being wasted because of the lack of Coaching and discipline. But at the end of the day it all starts with the bears front office, and this is coming from a die hard Redskins fan. We finally sold the team, got an amazing GM, brought in a cultural changing and player first Head Coach DQ, and drafted a franchise QB. And now we our 10-5, in the first year of rebuild! Bears take notes or it’s gonna be a long ride, trust a Redskins fan we’ve been living through that for years, and so have yall but you can change all that this offseason!

Bro...he throws anticipation all the time. Half the time the WR runs bad routes and concepts are just a mess. He had to start waiting as he stopped trusting which way WR were breaking out of curl routes ffs lol. Bears have ZERO run game too. If there's a successful drive it's always 80% pass and that makes for horribly inefficient offense and D that can read your play scheme like a book. The fact Caleb doesn't get fooled and throw to LBs on blitzes and instead throws it away or gets sacked is not a negative. Most sacks he does take are for a couple yards and no one is open. Does he miss deep, yeah. He has weaknesses but to disregard all the context and his actual tape vs. TV copy you have to just be a Caleb hater. Which is fine but don't pretend you are unbiased. Just say you are seeing what you expected because you are looking for it and rationalizing away the good impressive plays.

Put the stats side by side. They are all producing at the same level. The bears should have 7 wins right now. 7 wins, with 19 TDs and 5 picks and 3200 passing yards is a very good rookie season. But he has a lame duck coaching situation and it cost him some wins he played clutch football in. He snatched the hearts out of the packers in that game winning drive and the fg unit didn't block for the fg and it got blocked.

@@lucasgreene9628 I believe as the season has fallen apart Caleb has become more focused on his own stats so that when people look back in 5 or 10 years they won’t look at his rookie performance as bad. As a result he is focused on keep this record streak going and getting his QB rating up. If he has 20TDs and only 5 or 6 interceptions and a top 5 all time passes without an interception he knows people will look back and say Caleb wasn’t the problem. Which is basically true. He has been hampered by extremely poor leadership. As we have seen Eberflus was a decent enough defensive coach but he froze when he had to make big decisions. Now that he has gone Thomas Brown is completely out of his depth and the defense has completely collapsed making winning even more difficult.
