I gotta disagree with you this time I forgot his name (Carson Plamers' brother) a Qb guru said Caleb's biggest issue is this is his first time stugggling to do something, and from watching the examples you choose that's also what I see a guy who was a superior athlete now also surrounded with superior athletes. He needs better coaching but he'll improve next year somewhat regardless but if he gets some better coaching he'll be just fine.

[@sosmooth13]

As a Lions fan, the dude definitely struggled, but he’s a rookie. Some of those mistakes are VERY fixable. Considering he kept his interceptions down because he doesn’t want to turn the ball over, I can see he cares about keeping the ball out of harms way and giving his team a chance. However, he’s REALLY got to get a better line and most importantly, improve his reads. I’d be more concerned if the guy were reading the field like Desmond Ridder

[@Rock_em.sock_em]

Honestly I wouldn’t look at the low turnovers as someone who “cares about keeping the ball out of harms way” as much as I’d see it as a QB afraid to make plays. He’s either throwing to wide open WRs or taking sacks. Sacks are drive killers and wide open rarely happens in the NFL. An NFL QB needs to be willing to throw the ball into tighter windows. If he’s only willing to throw to wide open WRs, he won’t be in the league long.

maybe ppl will stop labeling QBs who can move around and play backyard football in college and NOT also be able to play within structure generational and instead projects.. like caleb really was. crazy he went first overall

[@NirvzHD]

I think you didn't watch the video. Caleb generally can read defensive looks well and is VERY potent within his first few reads when he understands the post-snap coverage he's looking at. He'll throw to his 1/2 progressions with good timing and anticipation. So saying he only plays backyard football is fairly disingenuous. Where he struggles is when teams give him exotic looks post-snap that he's just not seen enough of, because he's a rookie or doesn't study enough. Couple that with his struggles throwing deep this year, poor o-line play, and you get a rookie QB whose easy to pass rush and limit the areas of the field he can throw to. Although Rollins harps on it a lot here. Caleb isn't necessarily sticking on his first read a lot. He's trying to play within the system he's been given and just isn't good enough at it yet, and as Rollins points out, the scheme under Waldron just wasn't that good. Receivers running the same routes, etc etc. He should progress if he ever gets competent coaching or gets some help converting the deep ball. His deep ball was never really an issue in college so I think he just needs to be unleashed a bit more mentally. It's almost like he's stunned and won't throw a 50/50 ball for fear of it getting picked. That needs to change or he'll never get it down.

[@owtkvst]

The funny thing about this is a lot of it comes down to reading leverage which Caleb himself admitted earlier in the season that he didn’t have to do in college. He wasn’t asked to read the safeties or corners’ leverage so he struggled with that as a rookie. Which is why coaching matters. These are fixable issues. He’s gotten better as the season has gone on but scheme and poor protection have made the results the same. Get a good offensive coach in Chicago and he can and will still be special. It’s no reason to sell stock on him right now. Get that man good coach in and see what he can do. Patrick freaking Mahomes said he couldn’t read defenses fully until after his second year. But was excellent throughout because his coaching and the scheme allowed him to make plays. That’s what a great coach does. Give the Bears Ben Johnson, or Joe Brady, or a Liam Coen and see what Caleb can do with the expected improvements to the OL this off-season. Also, on the anticipation stuff, a lot of rookies struggle with that when they haven’t started as many games in college. Caleb only started 2 and a half years under a college scheme. He’ll continue to get better and expect coverages better. That play with the drop by Odunze you showed was excellent and an example of his improvement. Earlier in the he wouldn’t have made that throw.

This is why coaching matters and is important. All these bad habits he has it seems his quarterback coach has yet to work with him in fixing that. This is what I expected honestly sure he’s a generational talent, but that means absolutely nothing if you can’t at least perform good enough to win. Tom said it best your asking a lot of these rookie’s quarterbacks to start so early instead of having them sit and learn for a year. Yeah sure there are some outliers, but this what a rookie season looks like a lot of the times for quarterbacks. When you hold the ball for too long, when your anticipation and timing isn’t good, deep ball accuracy, not understanding pre snap or post snap. All the things can easily be fixed with the right coach.

Glad you chose his worst two games of the season to get your points across. There are valid criticisms of his play related to his surprisingly poor deep ball accuracy and taking too many sacks, but considering how horrendous his oline has played, multiple different OCs, and overall poor effort by skill position players I feel like those factors are a major part of why you say it "looks bad". Looking back, when keenan allen said that Waldron didn't keep their offensive players accountable during practice by letting them go easy on certain things, I feel like that just shows up in actual game speed when there is a clear disconnect between the wr and qb a lot of the time.

Keeping Eberflus was like buying a plane to get around but letting your uber driver fly the plane because he got you around the year before. Not even a particularly good driver, either. Plenty of dings, dents, and fender benders but because he didnt crash in a fireball and the conversation was plesant, you let him fly the plane at the airport. If I'm the owner that alone would be reason to fire Poles. "You let the uber driver fly the plane and your reasoning is he didnt total the car on the way there? Only minor dings." And because he kept eberflus who everyone knew should have been fired, the only OC you could convince to come co-pilot this suicide mission of letting the Uber driver fly the jet, was fired because he couldn't fly a paper plane. What awful decision making from Poles. One of many. I was out on Calebs mentality when he ran to his mother to cry, but he had no shot of doing anything with that situation.

[@NirvzHD]

@@TheKezsimpson there were points earlier this season when Bears Fan were arguing whether or not Caleb was throwing with too much anticipation. Him and his receivers wouldn't be on the same page so he would sometimes airmail a ball like 5 yards or more from any player even though he would have a WR come wide open. Not due to inaccuracy, but because he would throw before they break on a route, but the receivers would break differently than Caleb expected or would stop running entirely. He does lack the ability to read exotic defensive post-snap looks well, but that's hard for any QB. So no real surprise there for a rookie. You move to your check down then. But in the Seahawks game, Caleb tried this and they would have the check down covered too sometimes so he was just fucked 😂 That problem in the Seahawks game sort of stems from his inability or lack of will to throw deep. When a team is giving you constant pressure and 1 high looks, you will always have opportunities to throw 50/50 deep balls. If you never punish the defense, they'll just keep blitzing. Which they did and totally paralyzed Caleb. His issue isn't anticipation, but post snap reads, leverage reads, and deep ball accuracy like you highlighted.

Bears pass blocking is so bad you’d think it was CFB 25

[@lyndonyoung6756]

Scary thing is I don’t know how many QBs we’ve seen go from never throwing into tight windows with anticipation to making those throws. If he can’t develop this he might be a bust.

[@sionrouge1697]

Shouldnt have to throw into tight windows if you read the defense properly. You open your door after you hit your alarm. You don't just walk up to the car door hoping its open. Trust but verify.

[@lyndonyoung6756]

@ in the nfl you’re gonna have to be able to throw into tight windows. There is not a single qb who’s won a Super Bowl in the modern era who hasn’t had to make these kind of throws. That’s just the nfl. Nfl open and college open and two completely different things.

[@poindextertunes]

@@sionrouge1697 that makes no sense at all. A QB in the NFL is not going to have a wide open receivers every play even if he makes it all the way through his reads. Throwing into tight windows and throwing/leading your wide receiver into an open spot is one of the most important things a QB can do

The issues you called out here, are also a big component of why Caleb Williams has had such a low interception rate. Although that's not as impressive if it comes at the expense of any aggression downfield. I'd also like to see another video on his 2nd half play. Does it really just come down to defenses playing soft coverage due to having the lead? Or is he actually turning up his level of play in the second half?

[@NotodayUrsidae]

It started going wrong for Caleb when y’all started labelling him a “generational talent” he’s never shown anything close to that level. Unrealistic expectations aboard the hype train

[@lecoutcritique8854]

Generational talent who don't throw far, don't watch for sacks and don't anticipate open receivers... what is generational then?

[@doc7434]

A rookie only needs to show flashes of greatness & have fixable issues. I think we can all agree he's fine. If the bears could get their coaching crew established and protect him we would have seen a lot more of the positive than the negative out of this guy.

Why are the comments acting like Caleb Williams was already supposed to be a pro in his rookie year? This is the Bears we're talking about, they don't exactly have the best track record with developing qbs well

[@JSO18]

This is what I’ve said the whole season: he has the physical talent and the unteachable “instinct” that allows him to make some of the crazy plays he has throughout the season, but he just is not comfortable operating routine plays on an nfl level. Again, he has the talent to do so, but the coaching has done absolutely nothing to help him and his confidence is only worsened by the constant untouched rushers sacking him 1 second after the snap. I don’t think this is an issue of him not being able to play/read the field on an nfl level as much as it is a confidence issue caused by the constant failures of the team as a whole. We point to good play calls that Caleb mishandled, but most people ignore the constant awful play calls in which no one is open for way too long and Caleb gets hit. He has never really found any momentum that has allowed him to feel confident in his ability to make throws. When every other play is an awfully designed one, it’s a lot harder to operate the well designed ones.

I wouldn't panic if I'm a Bears fan. He was more raw then people made him out to be. He still has the same crazy arm talent. He needs to clean some things up for sure. 100% needs to play faster. His mechanics aren't great. I don't really care about your mechanics, but I do when you're inaccurate. I also think he lost all of his confidence. That's a little concerning. But if he plays well to start the year it'll come right back. We all need to stop worshiping QB prospects. No such thing as a sure thing. College and Pro football are so different now. Let's give him at least another year before rushing to judgment

Caleb has potential, his team is just terrible in everyway. I doubt that oline could even block a 3 man rush. He's balled out in a good few losses from his defense sucking.

Lmao yea i think he's not going deep because the O line buddy 🤦‍♂️

[@tricker37]

Totally disagree, yes Caleb does sometimes struggle with reads and holding onto the ball, but to say that is what happens in general is an oversimplification for sure. The deep accuracy is a legit concern, but Tua has seemed to do fine. I've watched 3 highly drafted QBs come thru Chicago, Caleb is definitely repairable and will be fine if they find the right offensive mind to pair with him. Honestly Gruden or Johnson, that's all I'd trust at this point, with Gruden being my 1st pick. A much better run game and consistent oline would be a boon as well.

I'm far from a bears fan, but i want to see one of these "generational talents" live up to it.

Andrew Luck might have but didn't play long enough and isn't the best from his class either. Lawrence is a borderline bust who is the best from his class, but that isn't saying much. And now caleb is struggling. (Although i will say crunch time play calling is abysmal)

[@cjhunnicutt4278]

His coach was worst in the NFL by a large margin, his OC got fired faster than the coach, not even utilizing captains on the team like Kmet, and his Oline has 1 starter that would start on another team. IDK why people like to be quick to judge rookies... I would be judging the team for putting him in this position more than anything, with how much draft capital and cap room they had knowing full damn well they were selecting a rookie qb they did about as poor of a job as you could possibly do. Then the GM doubled down on the shitty coach even when the previous qb Justin literally called out coaching as an issue. People are just stupid and like to think that because there are receivers with some talent means "best situation ever" I would argue coach is most important piece for situation =fail then OC= fail then Oline =fail THHHHEEEENNNN I would even put running game = fail lastly I would put receiving weapons = they did okay actually. and that's all without mentioning the bears garbage ownership george mclaskey who is the biggest loser in sports today.... Taking all that into consideration AND the weight of expectation, I think Caleb did fine. He was too confident coming into the league obv but what number 1 pick isnt?

[@soccerwizard975]

Williams is not generational. He has a mediocre arm, poor situational awareness and pocket presence, and doesn't see the field well in structure. Lets drop this moniker since Jayden or Maye look as good or better with a "worse" situation to be drafted into.

[@kevinlindgren95]

Genuinely think his poor deep accuracy comes from his awful footwork. This offseason he’s gotta cleanup his footwork and mechanics. If he can tighten that up his accuracy should be much improved

[@josht1167]

I mean it sounds like he’s struggling with NFL open, what rookie doesn’t though? Plus some of that is his uncertainty with the depth his receivers will break at, because those details weren’t nailed in during training camp (see all the press conferences after Waldron was fired) he’s going to be ok, but this was a good wake up call for him that he wasn’t going to just come in a light the league on fire right away. Learning humility is good. 🐻 ⬇️
