Is great and elite still on the table for Caleb Williams?
00:03
Has anything that has happened this year tarnished that possibility for Caleb Williams?
00:08
Or do you look at that tape and say, yeah, that's still what this guy can be?
00:12
Oh, I mean, we saw throws last week, right?
00:14
And that were amazing.
00:15
I mean, there was one, he was in the end zone.
00:18
I think it was second and second and 16 or 17.
00:21
He threw an out route to Roma doomsday, I think.
00:24
And, and the cornerback, uh, uh, was Witherspoon who's a great
00:28
play out at University of Illinois.
00:29
He's right there.
00:30
Right.
00:30
And I think to myself, man, that ball is going to get picked off.
00:33
Right.
00:33
It's a little bit of an out route and he's sitting on it.
00:36
And man, Caleb just whips it by him.
00:38
I mean, he looked like Witherspoon was shot.
00:40
He didn't pick it off for pick six.
00:41
Right.
00:42
So that talent that everybody saw, like the generational quarterback, all still
00:46
there, right, all still there, ready to be developed.
00:49
Uh, it's just hard to talk about where Caleb Williams is in his career,
00:53
where, what Caleb Williams has done.
00:54
And I know it's a hot topic, right?
00:56
I know it's a hot topic on ESPN, on Twitter.
00:58
I know everybody wants to talk about, especially after two, uh, rookie
01:01
quarterbacks, we watched play last night.
01:03
You're thinking, man, uh, where is that for the Chicago fans?
01:05
Where is that for the Chicago bears?
01:07
Where is that for the city of Chicago?
01:09
But as far as Caleb goes, man, you cannot look at this year and everything
01:13
the organization has put him through.
01:15
And we heard that coming into the draft, right.
01:18
That, that his camp was worried about that.
01:20
Now you're seeing why.
01:21
Now you're seeing why people are worried about putting
01:24
quarterbacks in Chicago.
01:25
I said, Oh, wow.
01:26
I mean, you know, guys, I mean, we're going to fire the OC
01:28
fire, the head coach, uh, move all these moving parts, but
01:31
it's not that big of a deal.
01:32
What are you guys talking about?
01:34
Like, that's the craziest thing I've ever heard.
01:36
Of course, going through that is hard for a young quarterback.
01:39
Of course, listening to it.
01:39
He, what did he tell us right after they fired Shane Waldron?
01:42
I really haven't talked to Thomas Brown much.
01:43
And I thought, Oh, great.
01:44
That's great.
01:45
That, that, that, that's exactly what we want to do.
01:47
So yes, grow to all still there.
01:49
We've all seen the talent.
01:50
We've seen the wild plays.
01:51
Now he's just got to function from the pocket in the system, whatever
01:55
system they're running, right.
01:57
Whatever office it is function from that.
01:59
They've been, they've been trying to do so many different things this year.
02:02
And I, I know you guys watch the film.
02:04
You tell me that the offense has, has gel that it looks like it's stacking plays.
02:08
It plays a work on each other that they're setting guys up.
02:11
No way.
02:12
Nope.
02:12
Not at all.
