Exactly my reaction to your ridiculous posts about Williams. Keep trying little guy.

The Bears schedule up to the bye is not extremely difficult as we sit right now. SEA is still a problem but GB/NE seem to be a mess right now…that could change but right now not bad if you look ahead.

You're not wrong, but the Bears aren't good enough/aren't in any position to look ahead.

Did you see him during the National anthem?



49 second mark

I did. So?

My point is, since his last year at USC people have been taking a massive dump on this kid:
- cried after the Notre Dame game
- paints his fingernails
- Diva
- his dad is going to be a problem
- can't be a leader
- doesn't want to be a Chicago Bear
- won't play unless he gets partial ownership
- stat hog
- etc.
- etc.
-etc.

I dunno, we're 2 full seasons and 3 weeks into his career and can anyone point to anything that has been said about him off the field or non-in game stuff that's been a problem? I mean, obviously if you just don't care for the guy you'll invent things to talk about, like hoodies, sunglasses, robes, and not standing at full attention during the national anthem.

I hope you can fix those pearls.

Plus, his teammates have voted him as a captain the last two years. If he was a bad teammate, that would not be the case. That tells me more than some random anti Caleb people on the internet.

You're looping me in and assuming I have issues with the bullet points you listed above which is inaccurate.

Any player walking around and not showing respect during the national anthem will get attention. Must less the face of the franchise and the starting quarterback. It's a surprising lack of awareness.

He has some issues with his game that are valid critiques but the other stuff says more about the person criticizing than Caleb.

Not a great look, need to be more aware but I also saw you talk about his hood up with sunglasses in beginning of game…who cares.

I'm only looping you into what you mentioned from Monday night, which to me is much adieu about nothing. I only bulleted the other things because it's part of a larger pattern of just inventing things about Caleb to hate on him for.

If people don't like him, then fine. I'm not going to ask for a reason. If people want to say it's because of x, y, or z when Caleb has shown nothing else than wanting to win on the football field then I'm going to call them an idiot.

Not only are they valid, but they should be expected. I'd like him to improve his accuracy at levels of the field, and his decision making can be better. I hate when there (appears to me, at least) are designed runs for him. Don't like that at all.

Can everyone now walk around during the anthem now?

I did not mean to throw that question at you.

Guessing we'll see Bagent's first start of the year.

That’s what all the reports are saying…really looking forward to seeing what he can do.

Keenum 10x the pressure on him the his performance last week 🙃

As he should, he is the #2. Keenum did his job Monday and did it damn well but there is a reason Keenum was #3, just like Bagent is #2. :oops:
I did kinda fall into the trap, right after the game and Tuesday, thinking, you gotta start Keenum again but then the thrill of Monday wore off.

Was there today and the defense looked good.

The INT wasn't a great throw but Loveland also had his feet in cement and didn't help his QB at all.

Short yardage offense is still a big issue.

2 different back up QBs, 2 wins. Is Caleb a system QB???

No and that’s the problem.

After watching the past two games…here’s my reasoning that Caleb isn’t the long term answer.

Ben Johnson is the freakin man. He doesn’t need a 60m dollar QB which is certainly what Caleb is going to demand.

I’d rather have a 20m QB and surround him with dudes rather than a 60m QB and tons of dudes on rookie contracts.

We ain’t going to be able to pay Loveland, Rome and Burden with a 60m QB.

So, with that in mind, can you imagine what we could get for Caleb via trade?

Not sure what you’re watching but neither QB that has played the last two games isn’t as good as Caleb. He’s not getting traded - neither of the other two are.

In Johnson’s system they won’t have to pay Luther Rome and Colston. They got rid of Moore and haven’t missed a beat. He’s can plug in a wide receiver and get similar results - Raymond for example.

I have to seriously question your football acumen

Read your post and tell me you understand what you wrote?

DJ was overpaid and overrated. Wasn’t a fan of his at all. He wasn’t a Ben guy and I’m beginning to think Rome isn’t either. Loveland and Burden for sure are. He wants tough as nails dudes and DJ definitely wasn’t that.

Also, re-read my initial post. Didn’t say either QB is better than Caleb. What I am saying is that Caleb is going to demand 60m in two years and at this point, we still have two more years before a decision needs to be made, I’d rather not pay him that.
