Caleb Williams is 'most gifted quarterback to ever put on a Bears uniform' | Bernstein & Holmes 

Truly a generational talent in the 4th round . Well worth the pick in round 4

Hopefully we won't have to use him very often but if we do, he is going to flip the field.

Only con is he is going to be 27. I'd imagine he would look like to best punter when he's 3-6 years older than everyone else.

@@johnbuckley2968 Because age matters in punting? Do you also consider age for long snappers?🤣😂🤣 It is a skill. He took up the game in 2019, and from the moment he hit American soil has been one of the best at it.

future hofer already

Amen brother.

Core

@@mastodon98nope. “Corps” is correct. Pronounced “core”.

And deandre swift in the backfield is gonna be nuts

I would save your excitement and tell the seasons begins and see how well they play you know we've been down this road before and I don't want anybody's hearts to get broken in case things go wrong 🐻🔽 And I do hope we got our guy

Well On paper it's true, we haven't had nothing notna reach. Again on paper, no other Qb, and WR group looked this good before the season started in my 50 year life time not counting the 80's playoff runs

It’s true on paper but that doesn’t always translate

Shame you cant read in context of the discussion

@@michaelcar9268 The offense never looked this good on paper period. That 80's run was 95% the defense (the other 5% was Walter).

There will be a huge push by the NFL to do it. The Bears would be smart to actually do it and embrace the attention they get. Especially if you want to convince the state to help finance a stadium.

I’d prefer they don’t do hard knocks

@@ImreallyIzzy the NFL doesn’t have to give them a choice.

@@TheSjuris Hard Knocks is a must for this group.

@@TheSjuris Six episodes on HBO is not getting the state of Illinois to cough up billions, nor should it.

670 is terrible

@michaelkawell3300 bro it's terrible. Bunch of these dudes kissing condescending Bernstein ass from 10 to 2. Put Lawrence alone again. I love Lawrence when he's alone like he used to be.

​@@michaelkawell3300terrible. Everyone kissing Bernstein condescending ahhh from 10 to 2

Silly argument. Nobody will disagree that Trenton Gil sucks and has to be replaced but you didn't need to spend a top 125 pick to do it. Example: Eagles signed Braden Mann to a 1 year-1.3 million deal this offseason. He averaged 49.8 per punt. Taylor averaged 48.2 yards. Mann's net was 43.9. Taylor was at 44.3. If we traded pick 122 for Braden Mann, would you have been happy with that? Bears get an A++ this draft cycle, but I'm counting the punter pick as a mulligan. No punter is worth a top 125 pick.

@@timevans5601what if they had taken Booker at the 122 and Taylor at the 144…? Would that be ok for you? 😜

No. There have only been 22 punters even drafted in the past 11 years. The Bears took 3 of them. The 3 punters that were taken before the 5th round (Wishnowsky, Carmada, Stout) during that span ranked 10th, 20th, and 33rd in net yards per punt last year. I looked back at the 1st and 2nd Team All Pro Punters over the past 8 years and only 3 of them had been drafted. It's an unsigned free agent position for a reason. Too cute of a pick for me. This team has too many holes for Poles to take his second punter in 3 drafts.

​@@timevans5601we have picks next year too, in a much deeper draft. It just goes to show how Poles felt about the talent in the later rounds this year.

Explain how having 3 starting options at OG and 2 starting C options is more pressing than having Pryor and 1 rookie backup as insurance at Tackle. Make it make sense please.

@@DJProphetNM One ascending player at his yr 25 season and one already all rookie OT months away from turning 23!!! with an admittedly very average swing T (Borom) is better than old retreads at G coming off bad seasons and NO clear Center at all. The OT position being weak for Chicago narrative is ridiculous. (X) Made it make sense in simplest terms possible.

@@OhioVworldBraxton Jones ain’t that good bro.

@@danielreynolds3694 maybe, but he ain’t bad either.

@@danielreynolds3694 Braxton Jones was right around average for a starting LT as compared to the whole league’s average starter per game- PFF #17 by team. Assuming at least moderate improvement- which is completely normal from yr 24 to 25 at the position in the NFL, he’ll be better than a replacement OT this yr, low cost and still ascending. Did you have something else?

If Dan can't to find something to bitch and moan about he is miserable. I feel sorry for his family...

Neither one are really Centers, and they project to be average at best. Sure, they’re better than they the Bears had last year, but that’s not saying much. The Bears OLine is still a questionable.

@@sevinbamuels6560Coleman Shelton has been the starter for the Rams the last two years what are you babbling about?

@@matthewheywood8532 I thought he was a Guard! Still, why didn’t the Rams keep him? Why is he on the Bears as a Back up the a Guard who Buffalo traded to the Bears for only a 5th round pick? The C position is still questionable. Nate Davis is Questionable and Braxton is Average. The Bears OLine is simply not any marginally better than last year.

@@sevinbamuels6560 because teams can’t keep everyone and the rams are in cap hell

Weirderer was one of the biggest promoters of get JF outta here and bring Caleb.. I cant wait to see him shred Caleb every time he struggles (which he will in his 1st year especially since he will now be facing NFL defenses not weak pac 12 opponents)

Sounds like your not old enough to remember the things that happened in 1986 & 1987 that pretty much derailed the dynasty hopes.

They usually play the packers week 1 Bears vs packers week1 write it down!

Fields is so tough he survived the dysfunctional coaching and play calling. Getting injured saved him - he continued getting better. He matched the first rookie seasons of Jalen Hurts and Josh Allen in statistics. I think Poles was forced to take Caleb because the great plan of trading Fields to raise the value of PICK1 failed when a late phone call came in on the clock. GMs refused to pay big bucks for Caleb. Fields went cheap and needs a year to rest and heal. He can be hired back cheaply after Caleb looks like a bust. 🐻⬇️🧆🏝️

Yeah blame the media! That's REALLY original!

Caleb will be fine!! Playing at USC the lights are HIGH BEAM BRIGHT!!! In Los Angeles it's the Lakers, the Dodgers & USC in that order!! Caleb REVIVED A dam near DEAD USC program & will uplift a Chicago bears franchise.

Dude if he can play he can play lol Like the media has anything to do with that Relax and enjoy he’s set up like no one before now it’s on him and the coaching staff

@@dokedoker3340 This isn't 1987. YOU GOTTA SCORE POINTS ! You watched the Lovie Smith teams continuously FAIL to score points. I'm TIRED of that.

You gonna blame the media for Trubisky and Fields too?

Holmes is best guy they have at thay station

Who are these "people"? I think you are getting him confused with Justin Fields.

Who's said those things? What is your sources where you have this info?

@@cyberpunk6441 His source is himself and other Fields' man crush fans.

Put the weed down

Waldron took a guy that was largely thrown to the NFL QB scrap heap and turned him into a top 10 QB. A rookie like CW with no bad NFL level habits yet will be easier to get to the top 5

1000 yard rusher. Decent d-line and qb at worst will be the same as the idiot last year.

​@@TheSjuris To continue playing devils advocate: - Swift has an injury history and 1K rusher isnt that impressive. The issue is that if our passing game isnt good then its very doubtful that our running game or a running back is gonna carry this team like josh jacobs or D Henry. - If sweat got injured our Dline would prob really really struggle - I love caleb and was not a fields fan at all, but we never know how bad a rookie QB can be. i think the Bears should be fine but i wouldnt be surprised if they struggle. The Bears are very weak at QB & Dline Depth and QB and Dline are the engine of a football team. They are very deep everywhere else. If our Mike is out then sandborn takes over. If our CB is out we have 2 or 3 guys that can start. If DJ is out then we still have 2 other #1's. If kmet is out then Everett takes over Our oline now has Kiran and Bates who can fill in everywhere. But when it comes to QB and passrush, the Bears are still very very very green/weak.

@@shake6321 thank god we have both Herbert and Johnson at hb. Most teams don’t need a Jacobs or a Henry. This is a passing league. There is only one veteran qb on the market and he isn’t know for being a team player. Any team is going to struggle if qb1 is out. This wasn’t the draft for pass rushers and the one we did draft has lots of potential. We were a top 5 to top 10 defense last year with Sweat for half the season. This isn’t a league for 1000 yard rushers most teams use 2-3 hbs we led the league in rushing last year. This team is designed to allow growing pains from a qb and still win. Good defenses allow that to happen. All we need is Caleb to ve a little better than Fields at passing. He should be we have enough WRs and tes to make sure that someone is always open.

@@TheSjuris I agree with you. but you are missing my point. my point is that are upside is great but our downside is very very low. and yet everyone is talking about upside and forgetting that there can always be a downside. if caleb plays well and if sweat is healthy the bears can be very competitive. if caleb plays like a rookie and sweat gets injured then we are fucked. We dont have a great RB or running game. (johnson & herbert are not great backs whatsoever). they aint jacobs, saquon, henry, cmac, etc who can carry a team. If Jordan Love gets injured then GB will hand the ball off to jacobs 25 times a game. if gary gets hurt they have LVN and others to take on the burden. this is why i am tempering my expectations. "we led the league in rushing last year" thats cuz of fields. our backs are not really that good. they are easily the 3rd worst in the division. "All we need is Caleb to be a little better than Fields at passing" this is not true at all. almost every QB that made the playoffs last year averaged 30 TD and 4K yards. the odds of williams doing that are prob 5%. I also dont think this defense is nearly as good as people think they are. they dont have the pass rush to be elite and will have to mix and match dline to look good.

@@shake6321 the Tampa 2 is never really a pass rush defense it’s a defense that if given a lead makes it hard for teams to score quickly. Jacob’s averaged 3.5yds per carry last year which is bad. If Love gets hurt GB is just like us dead in the water. Same with Detroit if Goff got hurt. The team has made it so a 30td season from a rookie qb is quite actually plausible. Something that never would ever happen with Fields. Any team loses their qb and they are fucked regardless of the hb. If Jacob’s gets get hurt, GB is beyond fucked. Henry is old, Cmac is a weapon not a guy who is going to rush for 1500yds a season. There wasn’t a de to draft in the top 10 that’s why nobody took a defensive player until 15 and that player has neck injuries. There is no reason to expect Sweat to get hurt can’t fix everything in one offseason. Johnson is in his second yr we still don’t know what his full potential is and Herbert is a weapon when healthy. This isn’t the 1980’s teams don’t run the ball even 50% of the time much. I’ll take Swifts product last year over Jacob’s and his 3.5yrds per carry he isn’t Jones this was a downgrade. I’ll take out receiver group over just about anyone else’s in the league. If the Bears can get a lead the defense should be able to keep it. Our new DC is a lot more aggrieved with the linemen.

Can you please tell me where Jeremiah Trotter would play if we drafted him? I will wait...

@@DJProphetNMgood question. I’m not familiar with Trotter Jrs game but the bears will be looking for a replacement Mike linebacker soon… Tremaine is not who we thought he was

@@DJProphetNM SAM. He would be an upgrade over Sanborn, who's in the last year of his contract. Tremaine Edmunds is good to miss at least 2 games a year to injury (8 in the last 3 years), so you could flex him to MIKE and start Sanborn at SAM.

USC isn't loaded with talent the only other player that was draft worthy was Rice. USC had the worse defense in football. What specific stats was atrocious and what games?
