This the second time the Bears have drafted a QB in the top 5 with a lame duck head coach which makes no sense. They did it with John Fox with Mitch Trubisky and now they did it with Eberflus with Caleb. 

3rd time. They did it with Fields and Nagy too.

 

Edit: Missed the top 5 comment. 3 straight times with a 1st round QB tho is insane

No idea how Eberflus kept his job. He has to go. 

 

They are doing the exact same thing they did with Fields. They're probably going to fire Eberflus and Williams will get his 2nd HC in as many years and a new offensive system to learn.

Eberflus is a problem, undoubtably. 
 

But Williams has an insane amount of talent on that offense, some of the problem has to fall at his own feet. 
 

Jayden Daniels, with a lesser cast of weapons, is killing it in Washington. Kliff bombed in AZ and there was question marks whether he could facilitate the growth of Daniels. He’s played his part but credit has to go to the QB himself just as much. 
 

The talk is their firing their OC so Eberflus is already finding a scape goat.

I didn't watch much of Williams in college, but when I did (vs UCLA last season, for instance), he looked to me like a player who might have trouble transitioning to the pro game. I am sure I missed some amazing games of his, but he was sloppy with the football and seemed to have trouble reading the field. He held the ball way too long and took a lot of sacks.  Notre Dame made him look pretty bad too.

Caleb is wreaking the Bears, if Caleb went to Washington they would be 3-7. Caleb’s pocket presence and field vision are just so bad. In College teams would just drop coverage and Caleb could run. In the NFL teams disguise coverages and CB’s make the windows tight. The Bears once again picked the QB bust. 

No HC or OC is going to go there knowing that there is a high probability of failure attached.

It’s very funny. Talk about setting yourself up for failure for 7 straight years.

 

Next coach won’t be married to Caleb and will be quick to throw him under the bus to save himself. Another first round pick wasted.

I would never have picked the kid, he looked like a head case from the get go, now things aren’t going well and he’s melting.   I know he has raw talent and all, but what in the world was all the hype for?  He never really dominated in college, he shrunk on the big stage and didn’t play within the offense, he thrived making ***** up.   Jayden Daniels was the exact opposite, the only question on him was really durability and look at him.  He plays within the scheme, CAN run and is accurate, what more did they want in a QB?  I’m happy for Daniels to not be a bear and not even a little surprised the hype has turned sour on Chicago.

Yup, they are among the teams with what appears to be no functional plan to integrate their high pick QBs into the NFL, gotta have an quality O-line and serviceable receivers just to get the ball rolling so to speak, and of course coaches that can communicate well with their QB,

As of right now, Yes they are wrecking him. To no one's surprise. It's the Bears.

 

Shouldve fired the entire staff before the draft and let a new HC and GM have a crack. Still wouldve picked Caleb but it wouldve given him stability in coaching. Now he's in the Browns model where he'll deal with a new HC and/or OC every year for 4 years until he leaves and goes somewhere else.
