Definitely, his talent was off the charts against weaker opponents ? But how do you compare his off the charts against stronger teams and the top 10 ? Specially, when his offensive line, couldn’t maintain that protection he would lose his concentration, and eventually the game , just look at some of the games he lost against top 10 teams , just saying they’re all just prospects , once you get in the NFL everything is much faster you gotta think twice as fast compared to college !!
You hit on the head! The team as a whole had no talent compared to him. USC was terrible except for Williams. You could argue Rice was good but he’s likely a 3rd round pick which is not a top prospect.
Love your analysis and deep dive Brother. However I'm of the opinion that Caleb Williams is just as good as Justin Fields is right now! And in my humble opinion will either be more of a Drew Brees Russell Wilson type of manager and playmaker as opposed to a Patrick Mahomes. And you've coupled that talent with a GM who seemingly knows what he's doing within the financial parameters that you laid out and also trying to get out from under the stigma of the Bears organization not being a desirable place for players to come.
@@sevinbamuels6560 I most certainly did arrive at that conclusion. The same conclusion I came to about CJ Stroud in comparison to Justin Fields ahead of the draft.... I personally set aside all the would have should have could have about Justin Fields ...and just look at the talent as it stands right now. The Bears can't make the same mistake and this is yet another opportunity to get it right.
@@draftcapitalsports5566 and that is why I would hope that the Bears go out and get Ryan Tannehill as insurance and that veteran presence after the draft if he's still available. I think he still has some game in him and has shown that he can be a step above a game manager with adequate pieces around him. Poles may want to mirror what KC did with Mahomes sitting behind Alex Smith. That way Caleb can see how a veteran conducts himself the team. That's just my opinion.
I personally have wanted the Bears to sell the team for years because the ownership sucks! Poles has done a solid job overall. Only one bad move which was giving up a 2nd round pick for shitty Chase Claypool.
I agree, he is a Packer fan & people are leaving out the simple human element of this. Players have preferred living & work destinations just like the rest of us.
Lol. You think it's the owners actually money is the issue. I love the research but you should look at the net spending on players for Chicago. The owners spend money. The only times they don't is when they are rebuilding. But the fall into the top 5 of spending a lot. Think 2018. Think now. Think 2006. All of which they were top 5 in spending. The actual money spent on players isnt an issue. 😅
Then you know better than Ryan Poles 😂😂😂😂😂. This video is based on what he said & what is known by everyone involved in NFL business. I know ex-players & current employees of agencies. This is what it is. You’re cherry picking years & not looking at long term commitments.
@@draftcapitalsports5566 I knew him decently enough. I do similar things that you do. Just not on YT. But money salary cap wise made sense. Yes. Money ownership.. no. Currently the bears are 12th in spending. The build: 23 18th 22 32nd 21 24th So you see the rise right? Ok now for pace: 20 12th 19 28th 18 1st. I'm not at all trying to sound rude. It's literally how teams build. 1st year new GM. Clears the books, 2nd year builds heavily thru the draft. Aquire draft capital. Year 3 build around and spend up. Same can be said for most Franchises. Ryan Poles moving on from Fields was about Fields contract yes. But not because of the owners financially. It was because of spending big on a QB means he better be the guy because you don't have salary space to explore big free agents, extensions, nor trades for high cost players Rookie QB contact means you can do all these things. It was a no brainer situation. Sadly enough because I love Fields. My main point of this argument is the owners are not the reason for the bears lack of spending in the past.
I think it’s basically a lock that da Bears will be drafting C.Williams. His talent is off the charts imo. Plus the fact that K.Allen (who Williams already knows) showed up just for his pro day is telling imo. The media and fans who complain about what Williams likes to do with his nails, clothes or phone covers 😂 etc… need to grow up. So what if his fashion style isn’t something that you or I like. As long as he’s not a problem off the field who gives a crap 💩 Happy Easter 🐰
Bro he wears dresses! Millions of real men don’t wanna see that crap! Some things are more important than football games. Go get some inner strength and some self respect.
@@sevinbamuels6560 So did Dennis Rodman. Whether we like it or not. Who gives a 💩 what he likes to do off the football field. It’s the world 🌍 we live in now.
@@corriec1854 Dennis Rodman was a distraction that only roster with 4 future hall of famers could overcome. Plus, the Bulls had to allow him to do whatever he wanted to contain him. Also, Dennis Rodman won two world championships, was the best defender in the league and the best rebounder in the modern era before he started acting a fool. Finally, lots of people disliked Rodman and they absolutely made fun of him.
@@corriec1854 The World we live in now is going to crap, and will be collapsing soon. Not just because of the deviates, but also because of people like you stood by and cheered it on. SMH! Some things are more important than a football game son. Man up!!
The McCaskeys have PLENTY of money! Poles never said that it was evenly a 50/50 financial move. Also Teams have to stay under the cap, they can't just pay a fine like the NBA.
Dude…the teams are governed by a salary cap. All teams have equal money for players in which they have to spend. You should know this. Bears historically have been poorly managed. That is the real.
Bonuses do impact the salary cap. They're just prorated over the span of the contract. For the purposes of explaining this easily, let's say you sign player X to a 4 year/50M deal broken down to 10M/year with a 10M signing bonus. That 10M signing bonus counts as 2.5M against the cap in each of the 4 years
@@ogdondadda Bonuses can impact the cap but what I'm referring to in the video is bonuses are not solid cap numbers which is why teams move base salaries to bonus money to get under the cap. That bonus money comes from ownership & team revenue outside the cap allocation. I also stated that the reason the Bears trade for high dollar players & don't sign them is to avoid paying all the bonus money on high value contracts. I can go deeper but it would be too long.

Yep, your point is the elephant in the room know one is talking about when it comes to Caleb.

So you came to the conclusion that a college athlete is better than a professional who been playing for years how exactly?
Agreed, can’t argue with nothing you said. My only concern with Caleb is leadership & scrutiny in having to play right away.

FACTS!!!
I really feel that Caleb is whilen cause he don’t really want to be a Bear 😮 Either way this year is going to be crazy.
I agree, he is a Packer fan & people are leaving out the simple human element of this. Players have preferred living & work destinations just like the rest of us.
I wasn’t wrong. Anyone with a brain 🧠 knew Poles was taking CW.

You didn't pay attention to what Poles said.
Dude…the teams are governed by a salary cap. All teams have equal money for players in which they have to spend. You should know this. Bears historically have been poorly managed. That is the real.
Bonus money does NOT come out of nor is a part of the salary cap or cap number. However it is based on the annual salary.
@@draftcapitalsports5566
All money paid to players no matter how defined is part of salary cap. If it were not, salary cap would be pointless.
