You all seeing what Sean Peyton is doing with Bo Nix?
Williams is looking worse than every other rookie QB right now because Ryan Poles stuck with Flus when he knew he was drafting a rookie QB.
That's the vast majority of it.
I had Bo Nix on my fantasy football team as a backup QB and the guy ended up performing great as a starter. LOL, now I know that's FF, but the guy is a top-10 performing QB in our league. He is out performing Patrick Mahomes so far, who has not had a typical Patrick Mahomes season so far. Yes the team is doing great anyway. Andy Reid and Sean Payton are good coaches. Coaching matters.
It sure does. Can you think of another famous successful coaching name?
I can.
Oh, and amazingly he just happened to be available last offseason.
What should we do with this amazingly fortuitous opportunity?
I know--let's stick with 10-24 Matt Eberflus. You know....for "continuity".

Yeah, but we did get another year of "Looking Inward" that apparently is the new collab thing at Halas Hall. So there is that I guess...

Back at the draft, I wanted Seahawks to try to move up in first round for Nix. The deep pass is supposedly his limitation, but he threw a good one to Sutton on Sunday. They would have beaten the Chiefs, but their kicker choked on the FG.
Williams may still work, but my impression is that, given equal support, Daniels is a better QB. Time will tell in a couple years.
Good article, but I am seeing some inconsistencies. Or I am not getting what he is saying
First he says
"Having watched both teams, though, I can tell you that Maye is far better-coached and better-developed to this point, and much of that has little to do with the play calls or personnel."
Then he says
"The same can be said for Daniels and Nix, who both had offenses tailored to them in ways Williams has not while starting right away."
So play calling is not important. Then it is.
As far as his saying that other QBs benefited from sitting, have always felt that was a benefit. Teams that successfully develop QBs do this. Now, I am not saying it is the only way. Plenty of examples of QBs that were thrown in and did well. I just think it helps your odds. I mean, you can take a guy that has been boxing for a while and then take a guy that has never boxed but has great potential. I would probably pick the guy that had boxed before to win. Not to say the guy that has never done it before can't or even won't win, but his odds are worse. And he will probably get beat up a lot more along the way as he figures it out.
We have a real serious problem in QB development. We just don't know how to do it and since we don't know how to do it, we don't know how to fix it. Kind of like the guy that does not know how to get to his destination. If you don't know that, you don't know what direction to go to get there. Do you make a left, a right? Go backwards? You have no clue because you have never been there before and don't know how to get there.
I am worried about CW. I really am. Hopefully he won't get hurt. And BTW, I didn't know that about the Pats OL. It sounds like theirs is about as patchwork as ours. But somehow their QB functioned behind it and the held up better. We have all kinds of issues and I am not sure who in FA is going to want to come hereafter we just got exposed as to how clueless our coaches are.
I agree. For me it's a lot to process because I figure there are multiple contributing factors. It's not just one of these factors. I don't blame the failure on just one of them. I am also worried about CW. And what makes me so sick to my stomach is thinking that if the Bears blow this opportunity with a very special quarterback, then they will never get it right. If Poles and Eberflus can't make this work with Caleb Williams, then they are not good enough to make it work with anyone. The bottom line is that this is a mess. Three years in on this and it is a mess. I think most fans would be fine with Poles if he takes charge and makes changes to get this right before CW is yet another failed quarterback here. Waldron seems in over his head with a rookie QB development.

And it worked. We suck this year as much as we did last year.
I thought this was a pretty honest and even-handed assessment of Caleb and why he is not doing as well as some of the other 1st round pick QBs in the recent draft. I was thinking that Daniels has a pretty good guy working with him in Kliff Kingsbury. Bo Nix has Sean Payton. Maye seems to be doing well with Alex Van Pelt & the article talks about how Maye has been developed so far.
Shane Waldron doesn't seem that good so far as an offensive coordinator setting Caleb up for success here. Anyway the article makes some good points.

Yep. And Waldron is a package deal with Flus. You keep Flus, you keep Waldron. At least as far as last season was concerned. And I guess Flus is still looking inward as he has not decided what to do with Waldron. What seems like such an easy call apparently is an agonizing decision or Flus. He has countless whiteboards out with mathematical equations and staff hunkered down in Excel spreadsheets with terabytes of data. He has even requested the use of NASAs supercomputers. I sure hope the stuff that this country uses to do space travel are up to being able to decipher if we should keep Waldron. It's not easy.

We just need to be patient, let Matt Eberflus learn on the job, and in seven years he could be a good coach.
No. They have a HC problem as in a HC who wants to play conservative no turnover football meaning no risky throws ever. They also have an OC who apparently couldn't out playcall a 12 year old on Madden.
Williams looks nothing like he was in the middle stretch there where he was QBing like a real NFL QB. Now he looks like Mitch under Fox.
hmmmm...also a conservative no turnover DEF-minded HC.
I wonder....no....couldn't be.....you think?.....no.....
