I mean just from a analytics view why the fukk wouldn't you throw to DJ more ( lol).

Rome is catching a lil bit more than half of his targets, DJ almost 70%. And Rome drops anything that isn't right in his chest too.

I'll reserve judgement on him till the season is over cuz I have faith BJ can coach the retard out of him but he got to get it together. Most qbs would be putting up videogame numbers with this skill player room.
Waiting until the end of the season is the prudent thing to do, but it is beginning to look like he is not growing. He keeps throwing to a dude that catches just a little more than half of his targets, while ignoring a dude that catches almost 90% of his targets. At this stage of their careers I am concluding that Burden has better hands than Odunze.

luckily burden is out a game because of a concussion because Calebs butt buddy didn't want to block for him on a screen and he got destroyed :blessed:

Just about halfway through Caleb and Ben together with a lot of season left. No reason to give up on the season at this point. Hoping for continuous progress and hopefully towards the end of the season Caleb has shown improvement and isn’t making the same mistakes that he is currently making.

Could have gotten a haul for the #1 pick and still drafted a decent QB. Like a lot of fans wanted.

I mean, Caleb is easily a decent QB but he should be better than that thats the issue. He is reading shyt too slow now, maybe it gets better. maybe not. But hes decent enough to win games with...

He can play better ofc but honestly the biggest issue with this team is the fact the supremely overpaid Dline can not get pressure, at all.

His passing chart shows that he has tunnel vision. He zeros in on Rome Odunze, no matter who else is open he doesn't pass to them. One sequence from yesterday's game had DJ Moore wide open in the back of the end zone. When they asked Caleb Williams how he missed Moore being open Williams said it was a miscommunication. What the Hell kind of miscommunication is it not to throw to the open man? On another instance when he threw the pick he had the running back Monongai open in the flat for a first down, which is what had Ben Johnson pissed off. Just straight up goofy quarterback play.

That's something I'm hoping they address. Not sure why he isn't using DJ or his TE's at all. There's been a few instances were he would chuck it to Rome in double coverage and he's been missing DJ high since last season. All of that needs to be cleaned up moving forward.

Yeah I think he'll be ok but he still misses to many easy passes. 24 games in and his accuracy is still an issue. With all the hype he had before the pros I expected better.

I've been seeing online it isn't a accuracy issue but a processing one, which would be worse tbh lol

I'm a bandwagon Bears fan now. I stopped caring after Lovie. What is the issue this year? Why did we lose with Lamar out?

CALEB ISNT A BAD QB
BUT HE WAS THE NUMBER 1
OVERALL PICK AND A CANT MISS
GENERATIONAL TALENT...

HE STINKS WHEN YOU
GRADE HIM ON THAT CURVE
ESPECIALLY WHEN QBS WHO WERE DRAFTED
BEHIND HIM HAVE BEEN BETTER

IF HE WAS THE 25TH PICK HE WOULD
HAVE MORE LEEWAY.
:devil:
:evil:

Bears top 5 in penalties & top 4 in most penalty yards allowed :gucci:

They’ve had touchdowns & first downs called back cuz of penalties, they need to clean that shyt up & stop shooting themselves in the foot every game
