Bears now have a singular goal this season: save Caleb Williams

Caleb Williams is averaging 4.93 yards per passing attempt in the past three games for Chicago, a number so ghastly it seems impossible. Not surprisingly, the Bears lost all three, including a horrific 19-3 drubbing to lowly New England on Sunday.

Williams, so clearly talented as a collegian, represented that hope. The Bears willingly let go of their last QB savior, Justin Fields, and went all-in on Williams.

Halfway through the season it looks like a regression. He hasn’t thrown a touchdown in a month.

The Bears can’t have Williams end this season as a broken prospect, as too often happens. Caleb Williams is too valuable to go down with this ship.

The goal of this whole first season was CALEB WILLIAMS. Somehow the Bears thought that a 2nd-rate DC who had never developed a QB or called plays in his life was the right guy to head up this project.

Yes, an NFL owner and some NFL front office execs actually thought that was an acceptable plan.

Wrap your head around that.

I've never seen the Bears fanbase this pissed off with the franchise before, not at this level. The whiff on this coaching staff and our highest paid offensive linemen that just got cut (Nate Davis) after the misses with guys like Velus and Chase Claypool - and a total "fail" on providing a solid OL for CW - are a bad look for Ryan Poles. But if by the end of this season it looks like the Caleb Williams experiment is failing badly while other 1st round QBs from his draft class are looking solid - or worse, what if Caleb to actually look like a bust by the end of the season... I wonder if the Bears would replace both Poles and Eberflus both? I doubt that would happen. But Poles better hope things don't go further south with Caleb this last half of the season.
