Last year, we heard Swift, Moore, Allen, etc talk about an unnamed player not putting in the right work. By the end of the season, it was clear that they were talking about Caleb. Not that he wasn't working hard, but that he wasn't doing the right kind of work. Kmet got so frustrated, he said on his podcast, he was going to focus on himself.

This kid has to mature quickly or he's going to kill his own potential. He has ZERO excuses this year. It's time to grow up or sit down.

Edit: The coaches Caleb interacted with was small by design. Not because Caleb made the decision. Having 90 coaches in a rookie quarterback's ear is bad, according to the NFL. The number of coaches in his ear is still small.


Is that the podcast he does with Kaplan?

Kmet was on CHGO. Lewis podcast with Kap is where Keenan talked about Waldron and Caleb being a professional. On a hot mic, Kap shated that Mercedes Lewis questioned Caleb's preparation.

I think there is still a lot of room between never having met the passing game coordinator and the passing game coordinator “being in his ear” that would have been pretty acceptable.

I am almost certain there is way more to this whole story of him not wanting to go to the Bears and trying to engineer a different landing spot. As in he made some pre draft demands the Bears acquiesced to because they didn’t want to be humiliated. And sure there’s a new coach and the Bears would have you believe everything is different this time, but there’s no putting that genie back in the bottle.

We’ll see when training camp rolls around.

You should care that Williams didn't impress his teammates in the same way that Daniels did prior to the season.


There you go talking out of your ass again. Unless you are in the locker room and know what is said about Williams, you have no clue if his teammates liked him or not.

Moore was a Fields guy. Off course he is not going to be thrilled with Williams filling his friends spot. He didn't seem to do much to help Williams last season. Moore quit on plays and looked lost in Waldon's offense, like the majority of the team last year. His frustration could easily be a reflection on the coaching staff then it was with Caleb.

Daniels replaced a bunch of journeymen QB's in Washington and had a professional staff to set the culture in Washington. I am not surprised he did well and players liked him. That has zero to do with Caleb.


:lol: :lol: :lol:

You continue to innovate in exploring new depths of stupidity. Not only do you struggle with comprehending the writing of others...but you are also incapable of comprehending the meaning of your own writing.

Williams' inability to win over Moore despite the fact that Fields, a marginal NFL QB, was the team's previous starter is a major indictment of Williams, not an argument in his favor.

You have unwittingly--and witlessly--made my argument for me.

You are a half of a wit short of being a halfwit.


No, I proved my point when you have to result in insults to deflect your stupid comments.

You're the one struggling to understand the writing of others. We have no idea what Moore thinks of Caleb. Show me where Moore says he hates Caleb or that he didn't impress his teammates.

Moore's love of Fields was obviously not because he was a good QB. Maybe he was a good guy who bought drinks. Who the hell knows.

To claim that we know what goes on in the minds of the players without facts is just plain arrogant and makes you sound like a narcissistic, unhinged psychopath who goes around calling people half wits on a message board.


Reread your post. It is self-contradictory. Williams made a poor impression on his teammates last year. Maybe he'll do better next year. His extended European vacation leads me to believe otherwise, though, since his work ethic appears to be worse than Fields'.

I listened, that's a pretty fair description. Eberflus and Waldron should've never been coaching for the Bears in 2024, almost all of these issues from Allen and Lewis description of them could've have been completely nipped in the bud early on by confident, competent coaches. Ben Johnson strikes me as a guy that knows exactly what he wants and he'll either get it out of Caleb or someone else, but it won't be a negotiation. Thomas Brown was an awful game day coach, but he at least seemed like he understood the theory of how to coach a rookie QB, Waldron was lost.

Are you USA now? anyway, there's absolutely nothing that exists that says Waldron and Eberflus were the only coaches allowed to talk to Caleb. You were wrong and so was your intellectual equal.

I find it almost impossible to believe Sean McVay would’ve promoted Shane Waldron twice and that Pete Carroll would’ve hired him as offensive coordinator in the first place, let alone kept him around for the remainder of his tenure in Seattle, if Waldron was half the idiot Bears fans and Bears media portray him as.

How about it’s just horribly disappointing that the Bears have fucked up the draft and trades for three straight years when had an historic run of draft pick resources. I don’t understand what Caleb Williams has to do with it, I mean aside from being the most grueling of all those misses (which is saying something when they took Darnell Wrong over Jalen Carter).


This list is certainly... interesting...

Andy Reid said he was the best HC candidate he'd ever employed, whoops.

That's much higher praise than what Sean McVay did for Waldron, never promoting him to OC and getting demoted from QB coach:

Los Angeles Rams (2017)
Tight ends coach
Los Angeles Rams (2018)
Passing game coordinator
Los Angeles Rams (2019)
Passing game coordinator & quarterbacks coach
Los Angeles Rams (2020)
Pass game coordinator

lost his QB coach job to none other than Dave Ragone.

but maybe Matt Stafford was demanding only two coaches talk to him, you could certainly lie about that in this case too.

I am cautiously optimistic. But I dont see how anyone can have too strong of an opinion (either way) on him after one season with the boobs who were leading the team.

Let's see what he looks like with Johnson at the helm. They have a solid staff. They have weapons around him.

But either way we should know pretty quickly this season as long as he stays healthy.


Isn't there an argument that Caleb gets two years in this new system before considering him a success or failure? The OL is going to take 4+ games to jell, there's still a gaping hole at RB, etc. I'm not saying these are built in excuses, just saying that if he continues to struggle into next year, assuming the RB position is addressed next year and the OL is intact, then there's serious questions to be asked about him long term.


His talent is undeniable.

My issues from the start, and they have born themselves out unfortunately, is that he’s an uncountable, narcissistic little shit. He has obvious character issues that went unnoticed by the BEAR’s brain trust


See, I think that's the potential subliminal message being shared in all of this.

Did Waldron and the coaching staff know early in training camp that the guy was uncoachable? Is that why he was left on his own? No first 15. No video.

The "leadership council" goes to the coaches in, what, week 3? Was "coach us harder" really just "coach Caleb"?

Were guys like Moore and Kmet not trying or running routes hard because they had already thrown in the towel?

Maybe the character issues were noticeable, Poles went forward with it anyway, and Eberflus and Waldron put on a smile knowing it was all going right into the shitter.

Waldron didn't have the spine to challenge Caleb. It took Black Dad challenging Caleb for him to attempt to change. Ben Johnson has a spine and a record of success. No excuses.

The rest of your possibilities involve a lot of people destroying the season out of laziness and spite, and in the coaches case, their careers. Much worse than Caleb's supposed uncoachability.

Matt Nagy is the next Bill Walsh with this logic


Waldron had the talent to be an OC, and has an NFL track record.

Williams has the talent to be a top QB.

Early returns are on his record are troubling.

The arm is not as-advertised. Though to be fair when you see him against quality college competition it wasn’t as-advertised either. His talent looked a lot better playing San Jose State, Stanford and Nevada than it did against Notre Dame, Washington and Oregon.

I don’t know when people are going to realize this whole thing was a work from the beginning. The hype wasn’t actually backed up and all these issues he had in the pros he also had in college whenever he played a quality opponent.

I don't think Caleb had a good rookie year, I also don't think he'll beat most of the statistical benchmarks Brick set up this year. I'm not in some delusional fantasy world where I'm grafting all of my extremely bizarre cultural complaints onto a 23 year old QB. When people are blatantly lying or coming up with scenarios where everyone else on the team supposedly committed much worse crimes against professionalism than the accusations they're lobbing at Caleb to try and make those accusations stick, this has ceased to be anything close to a rational discussion.

Waldron didn't have the spine to challenge Caleb. It took Black Dad challenging Caleb for him to attempt to change. Ben Johnson has a spine and a record of success. No excuses.

Caleb got worse after Waldron left.


He became a better pro. He even reluctantly admitted that MANY of the 100 sacks were his fault.

Well, the problem is he needs to learn how to throw the football where the receiver is. Not a great problem to have for an NFL quarterback to be honest.

Once Ben Johnson drops his pants in the locker, I'm sure it will immediately help Caleb's ability to throw accurately past 15 yards. I'm confident.

If I were a deranged Caleb supporter I could say that idiot ball control and defensive HC Eberflus told him to avoid INTs at all costs and that's what the accuracy issues were. But I'm not going to do that. But if I were, that's what I would say.

This controversy kind of reminds me of a few years ago. When Kyler Murray was getting criticized because he wasn't spending enough time watching film. When you combine this with DJ Moore's body language towards Caleb, you gotta wonder what's going on.

Moore's body language was probably because Williams threw to more people than just him and Kmet. Moore actually got targeted more by Williams than he did from Fields. However, these were the next 3 targets.

Williams targeted him 140 times. Fields targeted him 136 times.
Williams:
Allen 121
Odunza 101
Kmet 55

Justin Fields played in 12 full games with D.J. Moore while Caleb played in 17

What does that have to do with how the ball was distributed?
