Yes it does and maybe we should review the context of the offensive line stats. They were one of the worst if not the worst lines in the league under both Fields and Williams. So when you see a rookie quarterback throw for over 3,500 yards and 20 touchdowns against only 6 interceptions behind a horrid line then his stats are even more impressive and you have to wonder what would he do behind just an average line.
No fight there on the line stinks, but that aside, there were plenty of issues on Caleb, from throwing into double coverage missing routine like passes, etc

Look the kid got talent but that’s not enough

I didn't realize we had Caleb's doctor on here too :mjlol:



Level 1 is highly functioning it needs the least support which means it can also be easily missed. There are plenty of Level 1 people who don't even know they have it. And a condition like dyslexia there is high chance of it overlapping with Autism or AdHD or a condition like dyspraxia otherwise known as clumsy child syndrome. Or they get misdiagnosed and the autism part is overlooked completely.

He played relatively fine against de/mn and obliterated dallas as any good qb should.

Have you seen what those defenses are doing to other qbs right now :mjlol:

Lamar got sacked like 8 times :dead:
The way Detroit did the Ravens did make me say, maybe I shouldn't feel so bad about that loss

Williams struggled to execute elementary tasks. Every day was a new disaster.

That early, that spring, the Bears changed the snap count to appease Williams. Instead of using a combination of colors and numbers like every other team in the NFL, the Bears reverted to a “Ready, set, go!” straight out of JV football because that’s what the quarterback requested. Aside from the obvious on-field consequences — defenders could tee off — the Bears were establishing a troubling precedent in allowing a rookie to tell them exactly what to do. Veterans couldn’t believe it. “Are you shytting me?” one receiver asked a coach.
I think Caleb is fukking up just like everybody but this is dumb. The snap count and cadence is ALWAYS catered to the QB. Dak has his “here we goooo”, Cam had “Readyyyyyy”, Brady yelled all sorts of dumb shyt, Peyton yelled “Omaha” and later revealed it meant nothing usually…

It ultimately reads as if the coaches on staff had absolutely no clue what they were doing more than anything about the qb.

How does BJ come in and have none of these issues immediately?

:yeshrug: we don’t know if it is or isnt

I think the kid got his wake up call he can’t do what he used to, now the future is up to him

We can choose to believe it dismiss it, but regardless of what side you on, the rest is literally up to the kid

Once he’s finished cursing Caleb Williams for the 17th or 18th time, this coach who’s been around some of the best quarterbacks of this generation laughs, and laughs, and laughs a little more. He knows it’s no accident that Williams pinpointed “Shane Waldron” — and not “Thomas Brown” — as the coach who did him dirty in multiple reports that’ve trickled to the public.



“He knows Thomas will beat his ass,” the coach says. “He knows better than to name Thomas’ name.”



Eberflus is described by former assistants as a very pleasant man. Albeit, a little dorky. Waldron is similarly docile. Brown, on the contrary, is old school. Brown promised to bring a completely different coaching style to Williams those final five weeks. Odds are, Williams never experienced anything quite like this his entire football life. In a team meeting, Brown minced zero words. Without calling out players by name, he asked everyone why they were so afraid to hold Williams accountable when the Bears do it with everyone else on the roster. If the right tackle botches a combination block, the tight end speaks up because it directly affects the success of the play. If players think the quarterback is doing something wrong, he implored, tell him.

You know, one drawback of longform writing being banished to shyt like Substack is what seems to be lack of editors. Ain't no fukking way a halfway decent newspaper or long-term blog editor would've looked at this and told the writer to do better. :mjlol:

This shyt was all sour grapes from a bunch of idiot coaches who were way out of their depth.

They lost their cushy jobs. :lolbron: I need to find the quip about Flus saying he wanted to coach like a CEO. It really reeked of "my friend hired me, I'm good".

Im more interested in how that works in the locker room.

I always thought these dudes arent afriad of esch other and will check you quick if you fukking up they paper.

Unless the qb got the owner in they back pocket, i dont see how this behavior, if true, last more than a couple of weeks much less multiple coaches firing.
