Wayne Larrivee on the Chicago Bears as a Sleeping Giant & Caleb Williams' Talent

[@bobzani]

In 1985, Wayne, Butkus, and Hub Arkush did the Bears games on radio. It was simulcast and I listened to them with the TV sound off. It was great.

Wayne is my favorite Bears radio announcer. I miss him calling Bears games.

A VERY THOUGHTFUL ANALYSIS. I used to bring a portable radio to the games and listen to the play by play in the stands. thanks for sharing this vid

[@jailbreak852]

Do you really need to torture us, Dan? I remember Larrivee fondly

[@bytehauler]

Miss him! I get the sense that Wayne still has a strong passion for the Bears, 2nd only to the Packers now. And he seems to follow all of the issues on the field and in the front office.

[@kevinwhalen687]

A great interview glad to hear Wayne Larrivee

[@ducman8888]

Thanks for the shot in the arm Wayne, still miss your voice on the Bears broadcast.

[@victorremdt8520]

Wayne is the best play by play radio announcer in the NFL. I was sorry to see him leave the Bears. The Packers are very lucky to have him as their announcer.

[@BrianKortbein]

Turncoat

[@tacticaltradingpennystocks7206]

I wouldn’t mind the bears looking at Dave Toub

[@1000masks]

Wayne is a legend.

[@ag4allgood]

Some of the best memories of the Bears were listening to Wayne Larrivee doing the play by play. I used to pickup Green Bay football on the radio but now their on a different station & can't pick it up. Not that Joniak & Thayer are not fun to listen to if I need to work in the garage on Sunday but its not the same. In my area AM 1000 not the greatest reception either. Not a fsn of GM Poles boasting we will take the North & never give it back without 1st achieving a Division title. Those GM training wheels are falling off. Still have to deal with a meddling George McCaskey making football decisions when he was in charge of the ticket office. Didn't learn a thing about football from his grand father George Halas & until he is removed from football decisions like the Ford family did in Detoit the Bears will continue to be the dumbest NFC North team in leadership !

[@georgesontag2192]

Caleb is not accurate, he holds the ball too long, he doesn't see the open man, he turns every play into a broken play. Other that that he is pretty good.

[@ScottDeSalvo]

He’s never gonna be a top five NFL quarterback. He may never even be an average NFL quarterback.

[@NicholasAckerman-xv3dm]

​@ScottDeSalvo Madden ratings say he is average now 🤷‍♂️

[@michaela.kelley7823]

I would agree that he needs to learn hero ball don't work in the NFL. And he has missed open recievers. He's also had recievers stopping there routes when Caleb tried to hit them in stride. He is a rookie. He's made rookie mistakes. He'll get better

[@michaela.kelley7823]

​@@ScottDeSalvoit's a bit early to say that

[@jimabrahams3576]

That's partially accurate, but if you're going to point all this stuff out, you have to also point out that he's running for his life inside of two seconds most of the time with this offensive line, when they are not jumping off sides or nullifying positive plays with penalties, the offense is not well designed, and the surprising number of balls that have been dropped when they hit guys in the hands or chest.

[@jailbreak852]

Bears had a chance to hire Ron Wolf, no doubt

[@sonnymacklin5269]

Calls the plays with an upgraded offensive scheme and brings fear to building. Gruden is the guy...but they'll never make that happen. Figures.

Layne Warravie was in Chicago first. The placement made the pig is up

[@GMike22]

[@mikedorsey9660]

Wayne Larrivee looks a little like an older Bart Starr to me.

[@Baboo-n1z]

Layne is a turncoat !

[@edwardfurlong2708]

The defense had skewed numbers last year and Aton of hype. Were they good? Yes. Against better than good QB’s? Hell no. Maholmes and Herbert showed how bad they really are or how not as good as they think they are, truths. Sure they had a long streak keeping teams under 20 points, but then the offense shows up and can’t score 20 points. Basically the defense didn’t give up a lot of pointa or big g plays to mediocre offense to bottom of the league QB’s. And everyone hyped them up without considering that. I’ll give them credit for the first run of the gauntlet of the North. Every game was close and winnable. But they proved its all a mirage.

[@sip5257]

I shut off the score the day they fired DannyMac. Parkins is a typical woke millennial. Parky is uninteresting , Mac was the wholllle show. I’m a Packer fan but Mac was a radio great that had me tuned in every day

[@donnix1192]

Raid the packers for assistant coaches under Lafleur?? After Getsy I’m ok , no thanks Mac.

[@WilliamHopper-e4f]

Take over the world?? a sleeping giant? I think NOT!! The bears have been sleeping for the past 30 years and most of my adult life their franchisees is in the basement maybe a notch above the Jets. we’ll see if the Bears ruin Caleb’s career I love ya Wayne, but you dropped the ball on that one.😂

[@bigdogstatus83]

Why is that funny? I’m not a Bears fan (Bills fan here) but no rookie QB has had to face more turmoil in his team as him in the last 30 years. Yet, he’s still played decent.

[@tacticaltradingpennystocks7206]

@@bigdogstatus83these idiots are stuck in this microwave mindset. They know absolutely nothing about the NFL. I can name many Star QB’s who struggled their rookie year. Aikman, Manning, Rivers, Young, Burrow, Luck, Ect… Darnold was trash his first 3-4yrs, look at him now.. Mahomes didn’t even play as a rookie. Why don’t these asshats look at Joe Burrow his rookie year. Caleb has WAY better numbers. Josh Allen was already deemed a bust his rookie season

[@ns1vibes]

@@bigdogstatus83Exactly

[@JohnBarron-n]

@bigdogstatus83 Caleb Williams is better than Josh Allen

[@danb6838]

Williams is a BUST for a 1st overall pick. That's just reality. He may turn out to be an "OK" QB in the future with another team. But he's a total waste of a #1 overall pick....and the money that goes with it! I'm sick of the Bears (and media) making excuses for him this year because the Bears are a trainwreck!

[@Baboo-n1z]

He is Layne Warravie, because he is a traitor!

[@drZok3136]

Once again, the bears will hire coCh with no decent upgrade in player personnel. Bears used to have reat defense and No offense. Now, its neither. Sell the Bears to Disney so it can be a total sham.
