'Give him time': Donovan McNabb offers advice on Caleb Williams, preaches patience as QB develops

Jarrett Payton sat down with 13-year NFL veteran QB and Mount Carmel-alum Donovan McNabb to talk about the state of the Chicago Bears and what advice he would offer Bears fans on Caleb Williams as their promising rookie quarterback prepares for his third start in the NFL.

This vid needs to be forwarded to the Bears' entire offensive coaching staff.

McNabb looking like he was an All-Pro linebacker

I think mcnabb should mentor Caleb Williams

I wish we’d had Donovan on Bears in his prime! Love this guy.

McNabb is a great example about how to grow and groom a quarterback. Andy Reid did a masterful job of turning this guy into a pro bowl QB. These modern coaches need to take notes from Reid. Loved watching DMcNabb and those great Eagles teams. Just learned more about offensive football in these 15 minutes than the last 15 years

More of this type of exchange, qualified opinions matter… thanks

Love the chicago and pro players analysis

[@alphaomega7408]

Give it time. Shaq and Olujawan needed to develope in the NBA. ALL rookies need time.

I always said if the offense fails it's due to the OC. The OLine was no help but Waldron's playcalling was like a kid playing Madden.

Good Stuff! Spot on assessment

[@JJGuccione]

D, you were bigger at Mt. Carmel. He needs to grow two inches and put on 30 LB to stand tall in the pocket. I saw you make many defenders miss trying to take you down. It usually took two. On top of it, he paints his nails and you’re a bona fide South Side dawg. Few QB’s make it in the NFL, much less the sugar foot runts.

[@cimerians]

It's impossible without a good oline you can't do anything or develop anyone. If you have a bad O line you've got to have a good OC to get creative. Otherwise the quarterback drought continues here in Chicago.

[@fatesgates8393]

The Bears should have hired McNabb as the OC if he’d accept the job. I can already tell Waldron is trash. This vid alone should get him fired. Incompetent bozo.

[@CorneilusGreen]

But people said Caleb would be the savior

[@carlboston5784]

hey Donavan, Why didnt the coaching do what you are saying from the beginning? My answer is...... fire all of them and hire you and olin kruetz🤷🏾‍♂️. But really, this is showing Eberflus sucks

[@carlboston5784]

hey Payton, Mike Tomlin and Andy reed kniws this🤷🏾‍♂️

[@sylviagarcia6845]

I see David Carr all over again. No Oline then they just going to break this quarterback.

[@Stanstilly]

Teams are taking away the bootleg from Caleb. They’re waiting on it.
