Time to draft a new QB, Caleb just doesn't have NFL talent. He is a very good college QB, but like Tebow, Leaf, (Jamarcus) Russell. He can't work progressions, doesn't have the arm accuracy to throw in NFL windows and creates sacks by holding the ball too long
Sell the team and hire a new GM and coach from outside the organization. The current regime keeps repeating the same failed process over and over and over again: Have a coach on the hot seat draft a QB, bad coach fails to become better/develop rookie QB and is fired, hire new coach who didn't choose QB, force underdeveloped QB to learn a completely different system, watch the team struggle and the QB loses all confidence, trade QB and put coach on hot seat, have a coach on the hot seat draft a rookie QB, etc. The organization needs completely new blood to break them out of this cycle. Unfortunately it all starts at the top. One of the reasons teams like the Lions and Commanders have started to break free of their misery was a change in ownership. Teams owned by meddling, incompetent owners like Virginia McCaskey, Jimmy Haslem, Woody Johnson, David Tepper and Mark Davis can't break free of their floundering.
Funny How their were plenty of reports about how Caleb was going to report inelligible to avoid the Bears and now he is hella regretting that decision now
I keep saying some of these players need to pull an Eli. Sometimes I look at these teams like when the Browns came back and you knew whatever QB went there their career was over lmao
It's crazy to say it, but Caleb Williams legit looks shook. He's holding the ball for way to long, and when he has clean pockets, he's missing a LOT of easy throws. His confidence is just gone, and it probably won't be back this season.
Yup, first they broke trubisky, then fields, and then williams. I personally believe that trubisky and fields could’ve been good starters if they weren’t ruined by the bears ineptitude. Hopefully williams turns out fine.
How about caleb williams is full of himself and defenses are Motivated to dominate caleb to make him look bad. As a Detroit Lions fan, I hope caleb williams becomes the next Trey Lance.
The Hail Mary is just the personification of the bears problems, Awful in crunch time, terrible decision making on coaches, no accountability, no heart. I hope they can turn it around but they’re never gonna do much w/ Flus
While I do think the Bears fanbase was getting a little ahead of themselves before this season, I did not think things could possibly go *this* poorly. Locker room is in shambles, OL can’t block for shit, Caleb not making easy throws, receivers somehow can’t get open, play calling is awful, defense is banged up. Now we have players giving up during games and asking for coaches to be canned. What a dumpster fire of a season, good god.
Caleb is being over coached to not turn the ball over and to play within the pocket no matter what when he’s just simply not ready to be a pure dropback passer. They did the same thing with fields last year as well. Eberflus wants as few turnovers as possible, you heard on hard knocks, you hear him say it in his pressers. If they want Caleb to develop, you have to let him learn to let it rip, and live with the rookie mistakes that he makes, and hope he learns and grows from the mistakes he makes. The fact he’s only thrown 5 picks but the offense is as inefficient as it is proves it
What they need to do is simplify it down. Quick passes, play action, time-on-target schemes, etc. Let him get used to NFL defenses before uncorking the genie. Once he has that down, then slowly give him free reign on to make tactical decisions once he demonstrate competence. That said, it really is too bad that Eberflus and Waldron are morons.
It’s like the complete opposite of what the Pats are doing, they are actually LETTING Drake sling it, exactly, let them get the rookie mistakes out of the way first, Flus is asking Caleb to play like a 35 yr old veteran game manager because he thinks his defense is going to take him to a superbowl alone lmao
@@thestormofwar yeah I can’t believe they kept the coaching staff. I was on board with drafting Caleb and trading fields but the same logic should’ve been applied to the coaches as well. There were obvious upgrades available, they instead banked on Caleb being the savior
@@CoC_Lordi feel that fields couldve worked out in chicago if he had good coaching. Dealing with nagy, getsy and eberflus for 2 years certainly didn’t set him up for success and, if anything, set him back. They tried to make an improvising scrambler qb a pocket passer from day one instead of letting him learn those skills. Then pair that up with the horrible scheme by getsy and it was a disaster. You would’ve thought they would’ve learned something but nope. I guess they are trying to ruin as many qbs as possible in a short period of time.
Tbf Justin fields wasn’t good either he held on to that ball to much. Based on the amount of time blocking per play they were a top 10 pass blocking team but Fields despite being fast was on of the most sacked players. He is a very slow processor and that doesn’t work in the nfl
@@noahkramer942 While I do see an issue here, it's more because the receivers aren't getting open. He isn't throwing with anticipation. He clearly doesn't trust the receivers to get open because the scheme is terrible. I mean if you look at the tape, 75% of passing plays the bears receivers are all locked down. I think Caleb should take some responsibility for some issues, but he's a rookie and it's clearly a coaching issue
@noahkramer942 the line is a problem. The sacks are indicative of that, but the run game has been bad as well, the YPC just look ok bc Swift breaks off 1-2 long runs most games. They have a lot of difficulty in the trenches
@@noahkramer942 dude the scheme has no one open and the O line can't even hold for three seconds. Don't get me wrong he's not doing great but getting Sacked 9 times is not on the QB
Eberflus is the problem for sure. Fields had a hesitancy to throw the ball, and now Caleb is the 2nd QB under his watch that does the same thing. Caleb was a gunslinger in college, so why all of a sudden is he hesitant to throw the ball? Feels like Eberflus doesn’t want his QB to make ANY mistakes with the ball, how is he supposed to learn anything?
This is all excuses for caleb im a bears fan and this coaching unit is awful but at some point 18 has to make a play with Justin last year he played just like caleb was hesitant not taking the layups but fields would also make some plays on his own accord and ever since the bye week caleb hasn’t done anything
@@wigglyk2796 "Bagent went 2-2 as a starter for the Bears last year in his rookie season. He went 94-of-143 passing for 859 yards, three touchdowns and six interceptions." Yeah this sounds like a good plan
Eagles fan here. This Bears team reminds me a lot of Philly last year during their collapse. You look at the roster and think “how is THIS what you are getting out of this roster???” Like Jalen, I don’t think Caleb is perfect but he’s better than what he’s showing. Put him in a better system with a better play caller and give him actual chances to succeed
Sirianni had too much power and they had incompetent coordinators. They put Sirianni in check and hired real coordinators and suddenly look like legit contenders again.
Bears suffering the same fate that the Panthers suffered last year that got the bears the #1 pick is poetic tbh. With far better offensive weapons than the Panthers had too.
As a lifelong Lions fan, this is why I wasn't worried at all about da bears drafting a "generational QB talent". I knew what horrors awaited that man once they picked him. I'd say I hope it gets fixed, but honestly, I kinda prefer the bears being bad. As for their head coach - honestly, record isn't everything. Yeah, he doesn't seem like a great coach, but just because he's not had a good record doesn't mean he wasn't the potential head coach of the future from the ownership's POV last year. Dan Campbell had an awful record until last year, and people were calling for his job due to it then. Maybe eberflus will be da bears' MCDC. 🤣🤣
Yeah I might just switch to a Lions fan at this point XD... Having lived in both Detroit and Chicago at their worst points for football, I am glad that at least one team that never really had a chance to shine is finally succeeding. To be fair though Campbell had a plan with Johnson and a great GM to go with on top of being very offensive minded, while Eberflus only has the great GM....
That's some wishful thinking about Eberflus. Even when the Lions were struggling during Campbell's first year or so, you could tell the players loved him and bought into what he was selling. Shoot, I'm pain averse and never played football, but I wanted to go put on the pads and go truck someone after listening to him. Eberflus doesn't have that charisma.
I blame the Bears organization based on expert opinion I have heard. They built the team wrong - their offensive line is horrific. I don't think that Andy Reid could turn this train wreck into a winner.
This man has mad weapons. Moore, Allen, swift, odunze smh. All that Mahomes comparison talk wasn’t deserved. By the way he tries to overextend every play and throw across his body to other side of the field shows he still thinks this is college and it’s no where near that level anymore
@ he’s stated to be 6’1 so I can’t give him that excuse. Drew Brees was 6 foot even which I believe because I was looking him eye to eye. Then there’s Russell Wilson. This is a Caleb Williams skill issue. Maybe something we just can’t know about like film study or locker room stuff
Weapons don’t mean anything if those weapons are asked to do things they can’t do(like Keenan Allen running deep routes, DJ being a screen and YAC guy on 3rd and 1 with man coverage, Kmet being a blocker more than a catcher, etc etc) and if those weapons can’t separate quick enough to help out an OL that’s flat out bad.
@@owtkvstyup. Coaching can either lift a team up or bring them down. Players can only perform as well as their scheme allows them to. So when you’re actively handicapping your players, the 2024 bears offence is the result.
I’m a lions fan so I don’t really want him to be the next Mahomes or anything but watching his college tape showed he relied on his ability to scramble too much He got away with it in college but every single player on the other team has NFL speed. I honestly said he’d be similar to Kyler Murray but not quite as good a year ago and feel the same way today
I think that's a really good comparison. The only way you get away with that much scrambling is if you have Kyler's speed. Shoot, JF1 is crazy fast and he still got sacked a ton in Chicago. Caleb is slower than both of them, so he has no shot
you clearly didn’t watch tape cause ur just talking out ur ass lmao one of the reasons he was a highly touted prospect was the fact that he would stay in the pocket to make a throw unless he really really had to he’s nothing like kyler at all
Weird conclusion to make considering one of the points of both his tape and video here was that he can be an awesome gunslinger if given the chance to develop.
Facts. The best thing to happen to the hawks was old man passing away. I remember the Blackhawks were not even on TV when I was a kid. Old hag McCaskey has ruined the bears for decades now and is still living off the fat of the 85 Bears. Same goes for Jerry Reinsdorf too. The bulls and white Sox will better off when is not here anymore
Honestly man we all can’t say we didn’t see this coming I’m not shocked at all to see the bears struggling I thought everyone knew this year was going to be a wash and next year was Caleb’s “real rookie” year
I’d like to add I wrote them off after week 3 from what I was seeing yeah I thought they could win some good games but besides that I thought they were done since then
When your qb (fields) is struggling bc of o-line issues the main focus should not be on replacing the qb, it should have been drafting more protection. Caleb can definitely be an insanely good player, but I will always stand firm that the bears should drafted o-line with their picks
@@Tryingtofindacreativename that is correct. I thought they should have drafted an OL at 9 or traded back at 9 and then drafted an OL. I thought that before the draft, during it, and after it despite me liking Rome. I just don’t think in any scenario, the answer was to keep Fields another year and hope he turns it around and if not, draft a QB in this upcoming class that’s just as bad if not only slightly better than 2022’s QB class.
@@owtkvstthis is the part that Fields believers always leave out. Fields is due for a contract, they’d either need to overpay or be stuck searching in a QB empty draft class for their next guy had they not gotten Williams.
This is the same Caleb we saw in college when he played good college teams like the Notre dame game. Same Caleb that cried to his mom when he lost. Same Caleb that didn’t win any college championships. Same Caleb that held the ball over 3 second average all throughout college
I had seen on Twitter that they let go of Waldron. When someone commented, “Good thing they didn’t hire Carolina’s OC from last year to take over” I absolutely lost it.
It’s hard being a bears fan at this point. Like we legitimately just don’t have hope anymore. I’ve been a Bears fan my whole life but idek if I can continue supporting this team…
This isn’t just a Caleb Williams problem this has become an organizational problem, when will they learn? 3 straight number 1 overall QBs and all of them didn’t last in the situation. Now Caleb Williams did regress, he’s holding the ball on for too long and trying to be Superman, sometimes you need to be the friendly neighborhood hero. But still they need an OC who has a reputation for building and developing young qbs like Cliff.
my toxic trait is thinking that I can do a much better job than Chicago's front office. When do you ever see a lame duck defensive-minded head coach with a losing record turn into a competent head coach with a new rookie QB? You don't. and that's why it always made sense to just copy what the Texans did and just start over with the quarterback AND head coach position. Why clean one side of the house if the other side has been filled with shit for YEARS?
If you are drafting a generational QB at number 1, then you need to drop whatever you are doing and hire a coach specifically to maximize that QB. Nothing else matters. Otherwise trade the pick.
I’m happy you are choosing to mention Eberflus’ coaching of Caleb because it’s obvious yet so many people don’t mention it. In every game since Indy, you can hear on the broadcast how Flus is telling Caleb and the press how Caleb needs to be a “point guard” and manage the game. Hell, even against the Patriots, Olsen said “They’re asking him to be a point guard and it’s hard when your entire life you’ve been the shooting guard and you’ve been the man” they’re actively coaching him To not be himself mid season. It’s different if it’s in the off-season and they tell him to be special but selectively and be smart with the football. But that isn’t the case. They want him to play like a Case Keenum who has talent like very few in the league have he just shouldn’t let it loose. It’s foolish and it’s causing him to overthink. You can see it when he’s in the pocket. He’ll hitch, hitch, and then hitch again because they’re telling him not to make a mistake instead of trying to make something happen and then he gets sacked.
Theres not a one size fits all approach to developing a QB. Sitting a QB for a year is a good idea IF your team has the stability for him to learn (Aaron Rodgers in GB or Mahomes in KC). But if your team is dysfunctional then sitting your rookie QB is just delaying the inevitable (Paxton Lynch, Blaine Gabbert, Jake Locker).
As a lions fan, I was worried about this team, but I felt like the coaching and o-line were big enough of a problem for me to feel like it’s not an issue at the end of the day.
This kinda reminds me of Jared Goff. Remember how awful he was with the Rams his rookie year (Jeff Fisher's last year coaching them) then they hire an offensive-minded HC in Sean McVay and boom he instantly became vastly improved. Let's say the Bears hire someone like Lions OC Ben Johnson. I could see him helping Caleb play up to his potential since he has a brilliant offensive mind. I personally think he's the next Sean McVay.
first as an organization they need to take a breath. gather the team and make it be known they will get this right together. it won't happen this year. then, i would set about finding targets for each group on the team to shoot for to eval on tape until season end. they need to build true culture. start with basics. moving the football; no penalties, hustle, encouragement good or bad plays, no negative plays, no penalties - in other words, don't beat yourself first. next, simplify the playbook - what you do call based on situations, what you don't in other spots. let caleb slow things down mentally. focus on pass completions. it's at or around 55%? let's shoot for 70 in a quarter or half. then, a whole game. whatever the calls are pass wise. take the pressure off the line by not getting backed into 3rd & obvious pass downs by excelling at 1st/2nd. run the ball. mix it up on what runs are called. as a playcaller after games; check off during them ones that were well-executed. work to different ones based on situations. not to call them over and over and get predictable. but, identify what the entire unit and qb do well with whether formation wise, route tree wise in the pass game or tempo-timing wise. incorporate more of the same into it like sean mcvay does with the rams to where every pass play looks similar but are built off a core base from 11 personnel. the schemes can grow from the core mastered. also, let him observe a vet run them in practice so he can get physical and mental reps of it. before he has to perform under pressure. next, ask him to sit in on secondary and defensive line huddles and play review. it will help to see how the other side preps and corrects for him to improve that part of his brain as a qb. he needs a mentor as well who played the position and is not there to add stress like he will take his job if he messes up at times. or missed a read. or, got picked twice, etc. have the gm sit in on qb meetings. to induce accountability from that standpoint. to see others invested.
this conversation is 41 years overdue since George Halas' daughter took over. I know people discount the impact an owner can have on a team but there is a reason Manning only won 1 SB in Indy, the Browns are the Browns, Doug Pederson suddenly forgot how to coach? or Trevor Lawrence suddenly forget how to throw a football? The Bears haven't had an average QB for 10 years or a good QB for 40?!
12:37 seriously Waldron. This annoys tf out of me I’ll never understand why OC’s call roll outs that have their RIGHT handed QB rolling left forcing them to make cross body throws that don’t ever pan out
It gets worse when you realize two receivers weren’t even in the play. You have a 4 WR set, and you call a rollout to only have 2 possible receivers in play while the other 2 watch from the far right sideline. Could one of them seriously not run some sort of crossing route as a potential 3rd read?
Could've had Ben Johnson, Jim Harbaugh, or Mike Vrabel but they kept their lame duck coach. Then their decided not to hire Kliff Kingsbur, who's been great in Washington. Big brained moves by the Bears FO.
Your facts are wrong. They were very unlikely to get Ben Johnson, Jim Harbaugh was already very vocal about working with the chargers and when they tried to hire to Kliff Kingsbury he ended up turning it down
@@SuperMurray2009No Poles passed on Kingsbury he wanted to coach Caleb and I gurantee Vrabrel would have taken the job and the rumor is Ben Johnson didn’t “interview well” either way Eberflus is a horrible coach and needed to be fired period
@@davis2k1234 What reports are you reading from? I heard Kliff was sought after by Washington, Vegas, and Chicago. It was heavy reports that they were going after Kingsbury and he later went to the Raiders to then go to Washington.
1. They never keep their O line healthy. They must have one of the most injured O lines in the league over the last 3-4 years. 2. The plan doesn't change regarless of who is on the field. They try to fit guys to a scheme, rather than fitting a scheme to their roster. 3. They give the QB plays to run that take 2.5+ seconds to develop when they never get close to that time in a clean pocket. It's misserable.
Caleb’s problems are clear a combination of coaching and experience. He needs to learn, and his coaches are keeping him from making a bunch of mistakes, and he needs an offensive guru like most players
WE WERE NEVER GOING TO GET HARBAUGH‼️ Kevin Warren & Jim Harbaugh have a longstanding beef, from their BIG10 days. We should've fired Flus, regardless he's terrible as a HC.
While yeah, this situation sucks for Caleb. My biggest concern for him coming out of the draft was his maturity. I didn’t think he was mature enough to be an NFL quarterback. So if he can come out on the other side of this more mature. Maybe get put in a better situation somewhere else down the line. I think that’s a good thing for him.
It's like the Bears management and coaching hate QBs and the passing game. They've somehow convinced themselves their a defensive team because they won a SB in the '80s, and now have this weird aversion to the passing game. I thought they were trying to solve that this past draft, but I guess I was wrong.
It’s quite obviously coaching, we’ve seen Caleb display the talent. I just don’t understand how people can compare Maye to him when Maye sat most of the season and learned while Caleb was thrown off the deep end hoping to save a franchise from its long history of failure
Bryce Young, Kenny Pickett, Trevor Lawrence, Joe Burrow, Kyler Murray, Baker Mayfield, Mitch Trubisky, Jared Goff, Jameis Wisnton, and Blake Bortles. These are the 10 QBs taken off the board first in the past decade. Let's now make a list of those QBs who were "busts" (the teams that drafted them did not give the QB a second contract): Bortles, Winston, Goff, Trubisky, Mayfield, and Pickett. That's 6/10 (7 if you really want to jump the gun on Bryce...not that I'd blame you) Of these 6, you can only really make an argument that Baker was failed by a coach. We can talk about the good old days of job security for HCs and GMs so that they have the ability to bench these 'franchise QBs' to let them develop...but thats not today. I wish Caleb the best moving forward because he seems like a nice guy despite the media trying to make him a bad one....but sometimes you just made the wrong pick.
I have long contended CW's lack luster play is largely due to Chicago's notoriously bad Management and Coaching but it's becoming apparent that CW is a bit at fault. JD5 and Drake M are both fortunate Chi Town took CW, the results would have been similar.
You know after the panthers and jaguars game I actually thought the packers bears game could be competitive and dare I say I was slightly concerned to face them. We have a 10 game winning streak against them for a reason
Drake Maye & Bo Nix are players you can build around. The Patriots & Broncos can look forward to the future with these young guns. The Bears have never developed a franchise Quarterback.
i remember after the commanders bears game someone said that caleb williams was going to win roty over daniels, i tried to tell them they were delusional
Justin Fields spends two years running for his life because he had no protection. The Bears GM decided that was Fields' fault, drafted another rookie and put him right behind the same line. When that didn't work they decided the offensive coordinator was the real problem and got rid of him. Do the Bears really think that this is going to fix their problems? That offensive line couldn't block people on Facebook.
The biggest problem was fixing everything about the offense except the offensive line for like the 5th year in a row. Rome shouldn’t have been the draft pick and it should have been a top lineman
The NFL and HBO pushed to get the Bears on Hard Knocks. Throughout the show's history, the McCaskeys have fiercely resisted having the Bears be a part of it for whatever reason and they were unable to prevent the NFL from putting them on this season as the eligibility requirements allowed for only 3 teams to be featured - the Bears among them. Oddly, if they fired Everlose like they should have, they wouldn't have been on it.
Pretty much a complete analysis of this particular franchise. I enjoyed a look at that first drive against the Patriots, revealing that there doesn't seem to be an actual game plan. And it's unclear what "development" Williams has undergone under Waldron. As someone else noted here, Williams is playing like a college QB still. Well, no h8te to the Bears, but y'all need better management, as you well know.😞
Word on the street is that the Bears O-line isn't blocking for Caleb Williams, because he paints his fingernails and has worn dresses in the past, but hell this O-line wasn't blocking for Justin Fields!!! The Bears believed they could mask the deficiencies of the offensive line by loading up on wide receivers, and by drafting a mobile OB, a la Caleb Williams!!! The Bears need to improve their offensive line!!!😒☹️
at 02:15: "Where is CW supposed to throw? There is nobody open!". Are you blind 😳? Freeze the frame right there, and you'll see 3 men open, including 2 of the best in the business !!!
Remember the Lions before Sheila took over? That's the Bears, same thing. Until they get a competent owner the only way they'll have any luck is literally that, just luck. As a Packers fan it's been a blessing to have two teams in our division owned by complete goblins my entire life. I hope Virginia lives to be 200
I never bought into the Caleb hype and didn't think he was anything close to an Andrew Luck/Peyton Manning level prospect. He has good talent and upside but he is also filled with red flags everyone seemingly ignored (much like Bryce Young). It's very early but he's looking more Daniel Jones than Patrick Mahomes so far.
The worst part about keeping Eberflus is that he knows he is on the hot seat, so he cares more about wins than developing Caleb. Why develop Caleb through his rookie growing pains if Eberflus won't be there to see it bear fruit? That's why Eberflus is so antsy, that is why he coaches Caleb to play conservatively. Eberflus is coaching for his job, and it is hurting the team and Caleb most of all. If you draft a potential generational QB at Number 1, then you need to drop whatever else you are doing, clean house, and hire the best and brightest mind to maximize that QB. Nothing matters more than hitting on a QB drafted at number 1. They could have had Harbaugh, they could have had Ben Johnson. And that new hire coach would know that his job is tied to developing the rookie QB. He would have job security to let the QB take his knocks and take chances. If they aren't serious about developing their number 1 pick QB, then they should have just traded the pick.
What Do You Think The Bears Should Do? 🤔
get a new coach.
Tell Caleb stop painting his nails or put the team on his back
Time to draft a new QB, Caleb just doesn't have NFL talent. He is a very good college QB, but like Tebow, Leaf, (Jamarcus) Russell. He can't work progressions, doesn't have the arm accuracy to throw in NFL windows and creates sacks by holding the ball too long
@@oneputt4152 not to mention he's a narcissist, probably a homosexual - is NOT a "leader of men"
Sell the team and hire a new GM and coach from outside the organization. The current regime keeps repeating the same failed process over and over and over again: Have a coach on the hot seat draft a QB, bad coach fails to become better/develop rookie QB and is fired, hire new coach who didn't choose QB, force underdeveloped QB to learn a completely different system, watch the team struggle and the QB loses all confidence, trade QB and put coach on hot seat, have a coach on the hot seat draft a rookie QB, etc. The organization needs completely new blood to break them out of this cycle.
Unfortunately it all starts at the top. One of the reasons teams like the Lions and Commanders have started to break free of their misery was a change in ownership. Teams owned by meddling, incompetent owners like Virginia McCaskey, Jimmy Haslem, Woody Johnson, David Tepper and Mark Davis can't break free of their floundering.
It's honestly amazing how they made the same development mistakes for three straight qbs
Consistency.
Oh it’s more than that
Bagent seemed to develop quickly. He's looked better than Fields and Williams.
Maybe they should stop staying qbs because they need one and build a real team.
😂😂😂😂😂 glad you don't make decisions@@MAHACoach2025

I keep saying some of these players need to pull an Eli. Sometimes I look at these teams like when the Browns came back and you knew whatever QB went there their career was over lmao
agreed
@@YoGibranbaker is the prime example
I just don't understand the Bears. Why keep Eberflus if you're drafting a QB? Did they not learn from what they did to Trubisky or Fields?
Trubisky wasn’t good nor should he have been the fucking 2nd overall pick man
They will never learn
To be Fair the defense massively improved. I wasn't a fan of firing Eberfleus either at the time because the defense was finally elite.
It's the boars they will never ever learn.....
The McCaskey's are cheap af and won't pay on multiple HC contracts at once.
It's crazy to say it, but Caleb Williams legit looks shook. He's holding the ball for way to long, and when he has clean pockets, he's missing a LOT of easy throws. His confidence is just gone, and it probably won't be back this season.
Yup, first they broke trubisky, then fields, and then williams. I personally believe that trubisky and fields could’ve been good starters if they weren’t ruined by the bears ineptitude. Hopefully williams turns out fine.
He did this in college
@CBPfilm Ever since the USC vs Notre Dame game, I've thought he seems very much like a guy who falls off hard when things go really south.
Agree 100%
How about caleb williams is full of himself and defenses are
Motivated to dominate caleb to make him look bad. As a Detroit Lions fan, I hope caleb williams becomes the next Trey Lance.
I’ve never seen a team fall off so much after a Hail Mary
I told my buddy Eric "that might be yall season" when it happened
They sucked before that play
The Hail Mary is just the personification of the bears problems,
Awful in crunch time, terrible decision making on coaches, no accountability, no heart.
I hope they can turn it around but they’re never gonna do much w/ Flus
Jayden Daniels killed this team
They were never that good. They had early season success against bad teams. Like the saints
While I do think the Bears fanbase was getting a little ahead of themselves before this season, I did not think things could possibly go *this* poorly. Locker room is in shambles, OL can’t block for shit, Caleb not making easy throws, receivers somehow can’t get open, play calling is awful, defense is banged up. Now we have players giving up during games and asking for coaches to be canned. What a dumpster fire of a season, good god.
nope, the caleb lovers are returning to reality. i said it when he was drafted, overhyped and a bust.
Caleb is being over coached to not turn the ball over and to play within the pocket no matter what when he’s just simply not ready to be a pure dropback passer. They did the same thing with fields last year as well. Eberflus wants as few turnovers as possible, you heard on hard knocks, you hear him say it in his pressers. If they want Caleb to develop, you have to let him learn to let it rip, and live with the rookie mistakes that he makes, and hope he learns and grows from the mistakes he makes. The fact he’s only thrown 5 picks but the offense is as inefficient as it is proves it
What they need to do is simplify it down. Quick passes, play action, time-on-target schemes, etc. Let him get used to NFL defenses before uncorking the genie. Once he has that down, then slowly give him free reign on to make tactical decisions once he demonstrate competence. That said, it really is too bad that Eberflus and Waldron are morons.
It’s like the complete opposite of what the Pats are doing, they are actually LETTING Drake sling it, exactly, let them get the rookie mistakes out of the way first, Flus is asking Caleb to play like a 35 yr old veteran game manager because he thinks his defense is going to take him to a superbowl alone lmao
@@thestormofwar yeah I can’t believe they kept the coaching staff. I was on board with drafting Caleb and trading fields but the same logic should’ve been applied to the coaches as well. There were obvious upgrades available, they instead banked on Caleb being the savior
@@CoC_Lordi feel that fields couldve worked out in chicago if he had good coaching. Dealing with nagy, getsy and eberflus for 2 years certainly didn’t set him up for success and, if anything, set him back. They tried to make an improvising scrambler qb a pocket passer from day one instead of letting him learn those skills. Then pair that up with the horrible scheme by getsy and it was a disaster. You would’ve thought they would’ve learned something but nope. I guess they are trying to ruin as many qbs as possible in a short period of time.

Facts! The ppl who blamed JF1 either never played or watch to much First Take. They let other ppl make up their minds for them.
Tbf Justin fields wasn’t good either he held on to that ball to much. Based on the amount of time blocking per play they were a top 10 pass blocking team but Fields despite being fast was on of the most sacked players. He is a very slow processor and that doesn’t work in the nfl
Instead of Rome Odunze they shouldve drafted an offensive lineman. The receiving core wasnt bad. They didnt need another WR.
It’s not the line that’s the issue, he holds the ball for 3+ seconds every play
@@noahkramer942 While I do see an issue here, it's more because the receivers aren't getting open. He isn't throwing with anticipation. He clearly doesn't trust the receivers to get open because the scheme is terrible. I mean if you look at the tape, 75% of passing plays the bears receivers are all locked down. I think Caleb should take some responsibility for some issues, but he's a rookie and it's clearly a coaching issue
@noahkramer942 the line is a problem. The sacks are indicative of that, but the run game has been bad as well, the YPC just look ok bc Swift breaks off 1-2 long runs most games. They have a lot of difficulty in the trenches
@@noahkramer942 dude the scheme has no one open and the O line can't even hold for three seconds. Don't get me wrong he's not doing great but getting Sacked 9 times is not on the QB
@@noahkramer942yea he needs to throw with anticipation but receivers aren’t getting open because of the poor scheming
Eberflus is the problem for sure. Fields had a hesitancy to throw the ball, and now Caleb is the 2nd QB under his watch that does the same thing. Caleb was a gunslinger in college, so why all of a sudden is he hesitant to throw the ball? Feels like Eberflus doesn’t want his QB to make ANY mistakes with the ball, how is he supposed to learn anything?
sounds like Nagy
Went from “Best situation for a #1 pick” to “imagine if he had Maye & Daniels’ weapons”😂
This is all excuses for caleb im a bears fan and this coaching unit is awful but at some point 18 has to make a play with Justin last year he played just like caleb was hesitant not taking the layups but fields would also make some plays on his own accord and ever since the bye week caleb hasn’t done anything
No one ever said anything about Maye and Daniels weapons and Maye has no weapons🤦🏿♂️ people were talking about the 💩 coaching staff

Eagles fan here. This Bears team reminds me a lot of Philly last year during their collapse. You look at the roster and think “how is THIS what you are getting out of this roster???” Like Jalen, I don’t think Caleb is perfect but he’s better than what he’s showing. Put him in a better system with a better play caller and give him actual chances to succeed
As a Bears fan I'm not surprised the season is falling apart the way it is but you guys have bounced back this season though 💥
Your guys problem was sirianni being a idiot really trusting Matt Patricia to run the defense and running a HS level offense
eagles fan here, not similar. Jalen has played in a superbowl caleb is a rookie. We need a coach, bears need more than that
never compare us to the bears thx
Sirianni had too much power and they had incompetent coordinators. They put Sirianni in check and hired real coordinators and suddenly look like legit contenders again.
Bears suffering the same fate that the Panthers suffered last year that got the bears the #1 pick is poetic tbh. With far better offensive weapons than the Panthers had too.
Panthers had 2 wins that season, Bears already have 4. Carolina was way worse
Fire Matt Eberflus ❌
Fire Shane Waldron ✅
Another Bear’s organizational W!
Needed to fire both
Honestly this is just laughable at this point
The most "Bears" solution to a problem I have ever seen
As a lifelong Lions fan, this is why I wasn't worried at all about da bears drafting a "generational QB talent". I knew what horrors awaited that man once they picked him. I'd say I hope it gets fixed, but honestly, I kinda prefer the bears being bad. As for their head coach - honestly, record isn't everything. Yeah, he doesn't seem like a great coach, but just because he's not had a good record doesn't mean he wasn't the potential head coach of the future from the ownership's POV last year. Dan Campbell had an awful record until last year, and people were calling for his job due to it then. Maybe eberflus will be da bears' MCDC. 🤣🤣
Yeah I might just switch to a Lions fan at this point XD... Having lived in both Detroit and Chicago at their worst points for football, I am glad that at least one team that never really had a chance to shine is finally succeeding. To be fair though Campbell had a plan with Johnson and a great GM to go with on top of being very offensive minded, while Eberflus only has the great GM....
That's some wishful thinking about Eberflus. Even when the Lions were struggling during Campbell's first year or so, you could tell the players loved him and bought into what he was selling. Shoot, I'm pain averse and never played football, but I wanted to go put on the pads and go truck someone after listening to him.
Eberflus doesn't have that charisma.
I blame the Bears organization based on expert opinion I have heard. They built the team wrong - their offensive line is horrific. I don't think that Andy Reid could turn this train wreck into a winner.
This man has mad weapons. Moore, Allen, swift, odunze smh. All that Mahomes comparison talk wasn’t deserved. By the way he tries to overextend every play and throw across his body to other side of the field shows he still thinks this is college and it’s no where near that level anymore
He’s too short too see over the line
@ he’s stated to be 6’1 so I can’t give him that excuse. Drew Brees was 6 foot even which I believe because I was looking him eye to eye. Then there’s Russell Wilson. This is a Caleb Williams skill issue. Maybe something we just can’t know about like film study or locker room stuff
Weapons don’t mean anything if those weapons are asked to do things they can’t do(like Keenan Allen running deep routes, DJ being a screen and YAC guy on 3rd and 1 with man coverage, Kmet being a blocker more than a catcher, etc etc) and if those weapons can’t separate quick enough to help out an OL that’s flat out bad.
@@owtkvstyup. Coaching can either lift a team up or bring them down. Players can only perform as well as their scheme allows them to. So when you’re actively handicapping your players, the 2024 bears offence is the result.
Exactly
I’m a lions fan so I don’t really want him to be the next Mahomes or anything but watching his college tape showed he relied on his ability to scramble too much
He got away with it in college but every single player on the other team has NFL speed.
I honestly said he’d be similar to Kyler Murray but not quite as good a year ago and feel the same way today
The system at Chicago is still terrible
I think that's a really good comparison. The only way you get away with that much scrambling is if you have Kyler's speed. Shoot, JF1 is crazy fast and he still got sacked a ton in Chicago. Caleb is slower than both of them, so he has no shot
you clearly didn’t watch tape cause ur just talking out ur ass lmao one of the reasons he was a highly touted prospect was the fact that he would stay in the pocket to make a throw unless he really really had to he’s nothing like kyler at all
Weird conclusion to make considering one of the points of both his tape and video here was that he can be an awesome gunslinger if given the chance to develop.
I’m convinced the only way the Bears can ever become consistently relevant again is to have their owner flatline like Bill Wirtz for the Blackhawks.
Facts. The best thing to happen to the hawks was old man passing away. I remember the Blackhawks were not even on TV when I was a kid. Old hag McCaskey has ruined the bears for decades now and is still living off the fat of the 85 Bears. Same goes for Jerry Reinsdorf too. The bulls and white Sox will better off when is not here anymore
@@Christo_Trismegistusyall got a 101 year old owner that’s why the bears suck😭😭
Starting a quarterback in his rookie year is very risky. If they play poorly, it could ruin their confidence, as we see with Bryce
Should’ve kept fields
Facts! Should have built around him to boot but they didn’t.
Honestly man we all can’t say we didn’t see this coming I’m not shocked at all to see the bears struggling I thought everyone knew this year was going to be a wash and next year was Caleb’s “real rookie” year
I’d like to add I wrote them off after week 3 from what I was seeing yeah I thought they could win some good games but besides that I thought they were done since then
When your qb (fields) is struggling bc of o-line issues the main focus should not be on replacing the qb, it should have been drafting more protection. Caleb can definitely be an insanely good player, but I will always stand firm that the bears should drafted o-line with their picks
100 percent agree! Should have kept fields and drafted offensive linemen or sign some. And get some fast receivers to help with separation
Imagine if the bears kepts fields, traded back and picked Joe Alt. Got a ton of draft capital and drafted a 2nd oline player. They would be deadly.
But until you get rid of Eberflus.......
Yeahhh no. They wouldn’t have. The OL wasn’t as much of an issue last year with Fields as it is this year with Caleb.
@@owtkvst but to pick receivers instead of the 2 oline prospects that are "generational" seems mad.
@@Tryingtofindacreativename that is correct. I thought they should have drafted an OL at 9 or traded back at 9 and then drafted an OL. I thought that before the draft, during it, and after it despite me liking Rome. I just don’t think in any scenario, the answer was to keep Fields another year and hope he turns it around and if not, draft a QB in this upcoming class that’s just as bad if not only slightly better than 2022’s QB class.
@@owtkvstthis is the part that Fields believers always leave out. Fields is due for a contract, they’d either need to overpay or be stuck searching in a QB empty draft class for their next guy had they not gotten Williams.
Firing the OC is a sign they could bounce back. It is however an obvious tell that if they don't bounce back Eberflus is gone
RIP Bear SZN
This is the same Caleb we saw in college when he played good college teams like the Notre dame game. Same Caleb that cried to his mom when he lost. Same Caleb that didn’t win any college championships. Same Caleb that held the ball over 3 second average all throughout college
I had seen on Twitter that they let go of Waldron. When someone commented, “Good thing they didn’t hire Carolina’s OC from last year to take over” I absolutely lost it.
It’s hard being a bears fan at this point. Like we legitimately just don’t have hope anymore. I’ve been a Bears fan my whole life but idek if I can continue supporting this team…
I’m going hiking Sunday morning. I can’t stomach an 11th straight loss to GB
Huge mistake to take Odunze instead of a top lineman. They had adequate wide outs.
This isn’t just a Caleb Williams problem this has become an organizational problem, when will they learn? 3 straight number 1 overall QBs and all of them didn’t last in the situation. Now Caleb Williams did regress, he’s holding the ball on for too long and trying to be Superman, sometimes you need to be the friendly neighborhood hero. But still they need an OC who has a reputation for building and developing young qbs like Cliff.
my toxic trait is thinking that I can do a much better job than Chicago's front office. When do you ever see a lame duck defensive-minded head coach with a losing record turn into a competent head coach with a new rookie QB? You don't. and that's why it always made sense to just copy what the Texans did and just start over with the quarterback AND head coach position. Why clean one side of the house if the other side has been filled with shit for YEARS?
If you are drafting a generational QB at number 1, then you need to drop whatever you are doing and hire a coach specifically to maximize that QB. Nothing else matters.
Otherwise trade the pick.
Hehehe it’s “sow” as in “sew”
I was scrolling through to see if anybody caught that as well
Yes, but in case it's because he's never heard it, it sounds the same as the one in "needle and thread" a, not "mother pig"

@ostracean yes, I'm aware of that. But I'm talking about what he actually said lol.
Appreciate the support and feedback big Steve
I’m happy you are choosing to mention Eberflus’ coaching of Caleb because it’s obvious yet so many people don’t mention it. In every game since Indy, you can hear on the broadcast how Flus is telling Caleb and the press how Caleb needs to be a “point guard” and manage the game. Hell, even against the Patriots, Olsen said “They’re asking him to be a point guard and it’s hard when your entire life you’ve been the shooting guard and you’ve been the man” they’re actively coaching him
To not be himself mid season. It’s different if it’s in the off-season and they tell him to be special but selectively and be smart with the football. But that isn’t the case. They want him to play like a Case Keenum who has talent like very few in the league have he just shouldn’t let it loose. It’s foolish and it’s causing him to overthink. You can see it when he’s in the pocket. He’ll hitch, hitch, and then hitch again because they’re telling him not to make a mistake instead of trying to make something happen and then he gets sacked.
a -36 point differential over 2 games is crazy
If you gave Drake Maye the same pieces Caleb Williams have they would be 5-5 at least.
maye would be rookie of the year
@ most definitely
The bears are like the great value version of the jets
Theres not a one size fits all approach to developing a QB. Sitting a QB for a year is a good idea IF your team has the stability for him to learn (Aaron Rodgers in GB or Mahomes in KC). But if your team is dysfunctional then sitting your rookie QB is just delaying the inevitable (Paxton Lynch, Blaine Gabbert, Jake Locker).
Lifelong bears fan - I wanted them to build around fields , always was creeped out by Caleb. This has cade mcnown vibes.
As a lions fan, I was worried about this team, but I felt like the coaching and o-line were big enough of a problem for me to feel like it’s not an issue at the end of the day.
This kinda reminds me of Jared Goff. Remember how awful he was with the Rams his rookie year (Jeff Fisher's last year coaching them) then they hire an offensive-minded HC in Sean McVay and boom he instantly became vastly improved. Let's say the Bears hire someone like Lions OC Ben Johnson. I could see him helping Caleb play up to his potential since he has a brilliant offensive mind. I personally think he's the next Sean McVay.
Really appreciate the continued effort!
Thanks bud!
Glad you enjoy!
That new intro was tough!
So in conclusion Geno made Waldron look a hell of a lot better than he really was.
The irony of the later years of Pete Carroll in Seattle was that the defense kept getting worse, but he still got a lot out of his QBs and offense.
first as an organization they need to take a breath. gather the team and make it be known they will get this right together. it won't happen this year. then, i would set about finding targets for each group on the team to shoot for to eval on tape until season end. they need to build true culture. start with basics. moving the football; no penalties, hustle, encouragement good or bad plays, no negative plays, no penalties - in other words, don't beat yourself first. next, simplify the playbook - what you do call based on situations, what you don't in other spots. let caleb slow things down mentally. focus on pass completions. it's at or around 55%? let's shoot for 70 in a quarter or half. then, a whole game. whatever the calls are pass wise. take the pressure off the line by not getting backed into 3rd & obvious pass downs by excelling at 1st/2nd. run the ball. mix it up on what runs are called. as a playcaller after games; check off during them ones that were well-executed. work to different ones based on situations. not to call them over and over and get predictable. but, identify what the entire unit and qb do well with whether formation wise, route tree wise in the pass game or tempo-timing wise. incorporate more of the same into it like sean mcvay does with the rams to where every pass play looks similar but are built off a core base from 11 personnel. the schemes can grow from the core mastered. also, let him observe a vet run them in practice so he can get physical and mental reps of it. before he has to perform under pressure. next, ask him to sit in on secondary and defensive line huddles and play review. it will help to see how the other side preps and corrects for him to improve that part of his brain as a qb. he needs a mentor as well who played the position and is not there to add stress like he will take his job if he messes up at times. or missed a read. or, got picked twice, etc. have the gm sit in on qb meetings. to induce accountability from that standpoint. to see others invested.
1) Draft the right QB
2) Put the important pieces around the QB
3) Develop/coach the QB
The Bears always do at least one of those things wrong.
They do number two and three wrong always
this conversation is 41 years overdue since George Halas' daughter took over. I know people discount the impact an owner can have on a team but there is a reason Manning only won 1 SB in Indy, the Browns are the Browns, Doug Pederson suddenly forgot how to coach? or Trevor Lawrence suddenly forget how to throw a football? The Bears haven't had an average QB for 10 years or a good QB for 40?!
12:37 seriously Waldron. This annoys tf out of me I’ll never understand why OC’s call roll outs that have their RIGHT handed QB rolling left forcing them to make cross body throws that don’t ever pan out
It gets worse when you realize two receivers weren’t even in the play. You have a 4 WR set, and you call a rollout to only have 2 possible receivers in play while the other 2 watch from the far right sideline. Could one of them seriously not run some sort of crossing route as a potential 3rd read?
Could've had Ben Johnson, Jim Harbaugh, or Mike Vrabel but they kept their lame duck coach. Then their decided not to hire Kliff Kingsbur, who's been great in Washington. Big brained moves by the Bears FO.
Your facts are wrong. They were very unlikely to get Ben Johnson, Jim Harbaugh was already very vocal about working with the chargers and when they tried to hire to Kliff Kingsbury he ended up turning it down
@@SuperMurray2009No Poles passed on Kingsbury he wanted to coach Caleb and I gurantee Vrabrel would have taken the job and the rumor is Ben Johnson didn’t “interview well” either way Eberflus is a horrible coach and needed to be fired period

First time in nfl history a Hail Mary had derailed a season this badly
1. They never keep their O line healthy. They must have one of the most injured O lines in the league over the last 3-4 years.
2. The plan doesn't change regarless of who is on the field. They try to fit guys to a scheme, rather than fitting a scheme to their roster.
3. They give the QB plays to run that take 2.5+ seconds to develop when they never get close to that time in a clean pocket.
It's misserable.
Williams said he'd fix everything as he is so good. The Bears believed his assurances. Look how it's turning out.

Caleb’s problems are clear a combination of coaching and experience. He needs to learn, and his coaches are keeping him from making a bunch of mistakes, and he needs an offensive guru like most players
WE WERE NEVER GOING TO GET HARBAUGH‼️ Kevin Warren & Jim Harbaugh have a longstanding beef, from their BIG10 days. We should've fired Flus, regardless he's terrible as a HC.
While yeah, this situation sucks for Caleb. My biggest concern for him coming out of the draft was his maturity. I didn’t think he was mature enough to be an NFL quarterback. So if he can come out on the other side of this more mature. Maybe get put in a better situation somewhere else down the line. I think that’s a good thing for him.
It's like the Bears management and coaching hate QBs and the passing game. They've somehow convinced themselves their a defensive team because they won a SB in the '80s, and now have this weird aversion to the passing game. I thought they were trying to solve that this past draft, but I guess I was wrong.
Forget the bears, we want more Lions content

It’s quite obviously coaching, we’ve seen Caleb display the talent. I just don’t understand how people can compare Maye to him when Maye sat most of the season and learned while Caleb was thrown off the deep end hoping to save a franchise from its long history of failure
As a fan of a division rival I saw this coming, why did national media think they would be a borderline playoff team 😂
As a Green Bay fan, the Bears have my thoughts and prayers.
Bryce Young, Kenny Pickett, Trevor Lawrence, Joe Burrow, Kyler Murray, Baker Mayfield, Mitch Trubisky, Jared Goff, Jameis Wisnton, and Blake Bortles.
These are the 10 QBs taken off the board first in the past decade. Let's now make a list of those QBs who were "busts" (the teams that drafted them did not give the QB a second contract):
Bortles, Winston, Goff, Trubisky, Mayfield, and Pickett.
That's 6/10 (7 if you really want to jump the gun on Bryce...not that I'd blame you)
Of these 6, you can only really make an argument that Baker was failed by a coach.
We can talk about the good old days of job security for HCs and GMs so that they have the ability to bench these 'franchise QBs' to let them develop...but thats not today. I wish Caleb the best moving forward because he seems like a nice guy despite the media trying to make him a bad one....but sometimes you just made the wrong pick.
I see Caleb haters happy, but as a Giants and NFL fan we should be rooting for competent QB development to make the league more fun to watch.
The Bears only have one problem. OWNERSHIP.
I have long contended CW's lack luster play is largely due to Chicago's notoriously bad Management and Coaching but it's becoming apparent that CW is a bit at fault. JD5 and Drake M are both fortunate Chi Town took CW, the results would have been similar.
You know after the panthers and jaguars game I actually thought the packers bears game could be competitive and dare I say I was slightly concerned to face them.
We have a 10 game winning streak against them for a reason
Reap what you sow.. you said it like COW. It’s said like “sew”. 😂
Drake Maye & Bo Nix are players you can build around. The Patriots & Broncos can look forward to the future with these young guns. The Bears have never developed a franchise Quarterback.
i remember after the commanders bears game someone said that caleb williams was going to win roty over daniels, i tried to tell them they were delusional
Justin Fields spends two years running for his life because he had no protection. The Bears GM decided that was Fields' fault, drafted another rookie and put him right behind the same line. When that didn't work they decided the offensive coordinator was the real problem and got rid of him. Do the Bears really think that this is going to fix their problems? That offensive line couldn't block people on Facebook.
Keeping Eberflus was a huge mistake in regards to developing Caleb over his rookie year
even if the Bears fired Flus last season. the Mcaskey would of never paid Jim harbaughe to be coach. they are extremely cheap owners
The biggest problem was fixing everything about the offense except the offensive line for like the 5th year in a row. Rome shouldn’t have been the draft pick and it should have been a top lineman
As a lifelong Chicago Bears fan, I plan to have the Bears be my pallbearers so they can let me down one last time.
Just to show how Elite Jay Cutler really was
The NFL and HBO pushed to get the Bears on Hard Knocks. Throughout the show's history, the McCaskeys have fiercely resisted having the Bears be a part of it for whatever reason and they were unable to prevent the NFL from putting them on this season as the eligibility requirements allowed for only 3 teams to be featured - the Bears among them. Oddly, if they fired Everlose like they should have, they wouldn't have been on it.
I remember folks were calling me crazy when I said Williams would bust because he went to the Bears. Ahh, the memories.
What are you talking about calling hard knocks a PR stunt? The Teams don't get to choose if they are on hard knocks. They were assigned to do it
Matt "Leave or Lose"

I thought before the season they'd at least be 7-10. They're looking like a 4-13 team now.
I've never heard of any good coaches that throw their players under the bus the way Eberflus does.
Kliff Kingsbury gonna be the HC next year watch
Pretty much a complete analysis of this particular franchise. I enjoyed a look at that first drive against the Patriots, revealing that there doesn't seem to be an actual game plan. And it's unclear what "development" Williams has undergone under Waldron. As someone else noted here, Williams is playing like a college QB still. Well, no h8te to the Bears, but y'all need better management, as you well know.😞
Glad you enjoyed!
Word on the street is that the Bears O-line isn't blocking for Caleb Williams, because he paints his fingernails and has worn dresses in the past, but hell this O-line wasn't blocking for Justin Fields!!! The Bears believed they could mask the deficiencies of the offensive line by loading up on wide receivers, and by drafting a mobile OB, a la Caleb Williams!!! The Bears need to improve their offensive line!!!😒☹️
The Bears are averaging 9 points per game since the bye week and are 0-3 with a very tough schedule remaining. Good f’kin’ luck Lol
They could flip this situation around rn if they just win but they don’t seem to be able to do that.
at 02:15: "Where is CW supposed to throw? There is nobody open!". Are you blind 😳? Freeze the frame right there, and you'll see 3 men open, including 2 of the best in the business !!!
“2 of the best in the business” = 2 mid receivers
Remember the Lions before Sheila took over? That's the Bears, same thing. Until they get a competent owner the only way they'll have any luck is literally that, just luck. As a Packers fan it's been a blessing to have two teams in our division owned by complete goblins my entire life. I hope Virginia lives to be 200
I never bought into the Caleb hype and didn't think he was anything close to an Andrew Luck/Peyton Manning level prospect. He has good talent and upside but he is also filled with red flags everyone seemingly ignored (much like Bryce Young). It's very early but he's looking more Daniel Jones than Patrick Mahomes so far.
Oh damn he got an intro
You know what they say; "You reap what you sow"
😅
The worst part about keeping Eberflus is that he knows he is on the hot seat, so he cares more about wins than developing Caleb. Why develop Caleb through his rookie growing pains if Eberflus won't be there to see it bear fruit? That's why Eberflus is so antsy, that is why he coaches Caleb to play conservatively. Eberflus is coaching for his job, and it is hurting the team and Caleb most of all.
If you draft a potential generational QB at Number 1, then you need to drop whatever else you are doing, clean house, and hire the best and brightest mind to maximize that QB. Nothing matters more than hitting on a QB drafted at number 1. They could have had Harbaugh, they could have had Ben Johnson. And that new hire coach would know that his job is tied to developing the rookie QB. He would have job security to let the QB take his knocks and take chances.
If they aren't serious about developing their number 1 pick QB, then they should have just traded the pick.
