The Scary Truth Behind Chicago's Quarterback Problem 

Thank you, Adrian! We appreciate the feedback and will put out more content like this in the near future. Is there anything you’d like to see?

I can't leave a comment I assume unless I subscribe...Well, tell him he got a down vote. Also tell him to stop being a pussy

@@firstteamfootball Yeah, this was a really really well put together video. This channel definitely has the talent to be a major informative platform. Look forward to more content

Im guessing the bears should have drafted marino…

​@@RobynHood1021You know, even without a Super Bowl win... Or a Super Bowl... I'm guessing he probably is glad to have had what he did in Miami. VS whatever could have happened here. IDK, just guessing 😁

INSANE! A truly historical moment

Felt like an earthquake was happening around the city.

It may be a long time before we see the opening kick off of the Super Bowl returned. We will see how the new kick off rules change that

Worst franchise in sports.

@@Ghostedfaet did that comment make you feel better lil guy?

Tbf Rodgers was a late 1st round prospect and the Bears had the 4th pick. Of course hindsight is always 20:20 though

At least we got Cedric Benson

Yes Rodgers was a huge pain, but imagine Marino with the '80s defenses. Could've been the greatest dynasty ever besides the Patriots.

I think passing over Lamar was worse, for everybody. Baker Mayfield, the Browns, & Lamar himself. The Ravens seem to resent having an élite QB (especially the cost). The Browns meanwhile chased after The Worst QB Option & over-paid him. All of this could have been avoided had they chosen Lamar.

cabal williams could be another in a long line of BUSTS for the bears. cabal whining over his rookie contract is not a good sign, as this many times indicates a player that has little interest in the game....only money.

Wow! Thank you so much for the kind words and sub! While not every story is always a positive one, we try to find bright spots, and pride ourselves on sticking to stats, the facts and telling stories in a digestible way. If there’s any content you’d like to see in the future, let us know!

​@@firstteamfootballThat's even better! Show us all the good, bad, and ugly. Even if it's my team not passing to Marshawn😭🤣✌️ Looking forward to what you bring!

Thank you! Glad to have you on board!

If you want, I can tear them down. You remember when Mac Jones was discovered to be Seeking Advice outside the Pats? If Bellichick had responded to that With Silence we'd all know Jones was on the way out, right? Well? Fields called out his coaches publicly after week 7 of '22. What did *their silence* indicate? The Exact Same Thing. But because this indicated that the Bears were betraying We The Fans as well as Fields, everyone seems to have gone into denial over it. Well, let me remind you of what you "forgot" while in denial. 1) "The Bears _had to call_ for Fields to Not Throw to Certain Receivers on Certain Plays to simplify the offense for him because he Can't Read Defenses." That's the 'reason' Bears fans made up to excuse a play-call that had Zero Chance of succeeding. What's wrong with all this? First, obviously, if Fields can't read defenses, you're putting his life at risk out there. _Especially_ when you call for your o-line to ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-FiiK21VzI_o.html let all the pass-rushers through to him. He can't read defenses so he may not run for his life. 2nd, how is forcing Fields to stop mid-play or mid-throw, read a player's jersey #, try & remember whether it's one he's allowed to throw to on that play _then_ throw simpler than throwing to whatever receiver he sees? A real head-scratcher these excuses y'all make up. 2) The You The Fans said "Fields holds onto the ball too long." So now you not only forgot that he was ordered *By His Coaches To* hold onto the ball instead of pass it, it's his fault now. Or should he drop the ball instead of run away from the pass-rushers his coaches order his o-linesmen to run away from? Like they _told us that_ they were moving away from him. You think they spent the next 1.5 years calling plays designed to make their decision look stupid? 3) One can't _unlearn_ to read defenses. So ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-QuhUbISnr8s.html *proves* he can now & always did read 'em which means that there is No Excuse for calling plays with zero chance of success. Also in weeks 8-10 of '22 & weeks 11, 14-17 of '23 different play sets were called in which Fields was far more efficient & scored more points. The 3-game streak in '22 he led the Entire NFL in offense proving it was _only_ the play-calling holding him back as he played up with Allen, Mahomes & Burrow when the play0-calling changed. The last thing is someone spliced Fields' college highlights into a video with Caleb Williams'. It's no surprise to me, but what do you know? Fields ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5JO1PsupF_U.html is a better rusher _AND_ more accurate passer who scrambles & makes throws on the run & at weird arm angles better in the NFL than Caleb has done so far in college. This team is _great!_

Yeah they cannot develop quarterbacks to save their life . Jim McMahon was an average quarterback that had an awesome defense .

They had an OC and HC problem for Cutlers entire tenure.

Thats why they got shane waldron. I mean the guy made geno smith a franchise QB

It's ownership that is the problem just like all Chicago teams. All they care about is money and not fans

We've wasted many great teams by having sub par QB play, and we also like to run QBs out of town who have potential.

The Lions used to screw up at QB too until they got Matthew Stafford.

Wow! That is extremely high praise and we’re humbled you feel that way. Thank you for the sub. We’ll be putting out more content like this in the future so stay tuned!

Nah drake is better than

That means a ton to our team! Thank you for being one of the first 💯

Yea

But his contract was big so if he played 1 more year he would get paid 40 million dollars

I hope caleb does something

@@SammyPlayZ7I’d pay him that over what the qb market is growing to be. Hopefully Caleb lives up to the hype

Nah he buns for real

Agree. Injuries plagued him for most of his career.

Jim was tough as hell and really fit the bears well. He was a good qb.

He really wasn’t that good though…

​@@mitchcolburn1216 he really was though your just a closet bears hater

@@POPToppins He was mid on a good day. I’m neutral on the Bears.

Wow! Thank you very much for the kind words. The million sub speed run starts now 😂😂

I wondered about this. While I don't watch the Bears, it's my husband's team, I have said to him it is the front office that is the problem. The talent scouting, the guys in charge of who to pick, that the Bears cannot assess talent. I grew up in KC. I grew up with the Chiefs. My team. I watched a video about the guy who discovered Mahomens. In 2017, Veech was the guy watching the tapes and the talent. He was suppose to assess a guy on the same team at Texas Tech as Mahomes. He found himself drawn to the QB. He began a campaign for getting this kid. But, it was a year before Mahomes even declared. Still, Veech wanted him and told Andy Reid he was the next Goat. So when he declared the Chiefs were sold on him and move mountains to get him. The only real thing in their way was the Bears. They had the 2nd draft pick and The Chiefs traded big stuff to get to 10th pick. Breath was held until the Bears announced Trubitski. The Bears long needed a Veech in their scouting and then listen to him.

Thank you, Kyle!!

Thank you! Who’s your team?? We’ll be making more of these in the future

Yep. The franchise has no clue how to develop QB. Mahomes Brady any QB you name would have failed here.

@@AmateurSynthusiast I liked Fields. I thought all of his issues with holding the ball too long and reading a defense better could've been fixed but we had an incompetent coaching especially OC Luke Getsy at the time. He might be the worst OC the Bears have had in my lifetime.

@@brockstar1461 remember John Shoop? (sp) lol

I'm so damn glad I'm not the only one who thinks this. The McCaskey family is cancerous to this team.

It's the same with every Chicago sports team owner. Fans go to GL the games regardless of how the team performs and it's how owners keep getting away with such lackluster products

Thank you! Happy you enjoyed it. Williams definitely has the potential to be a real difference maker

😭😭😭

McMahon was THEE MAN! Cooler than ice on Pluto

It goes one level higher than the front office. The TEAM OWNERS don't care. The Halas-McCaskey family have been coasting off their ONE Super Bowl win from 40 years ago. The only thing will save the Bears is to sell the team.

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video. Hopefully Caleb works out for the bears

Seriously 😂

He said 7 decades. It has, in fact, been 70 years.

😭🙏🏼

Thanks brother. We put a ton of time into this one. Just 3 guys who love football and want to share it with the world in a way nobody has done before.

I think you're kind of right, but it's worth pointing out that 2 of their last 4 coaches were offensive-minded coaches, and 3 of the 8 coaches they've had since 1980 were offensive-minded. They skew defensive, but not drastically. I certainly won't claim that Trestman and Nagy were offensive geniuses, but they were at least offensive guys.

Remember…even Curly Lambeau and Vince Lombardi were offensive coaches.

Thank you! We appreciate the support!

Just above average was Trubisky. He has to be better than that.

@@MFBloosh if trubisky was above average he would still be a starter.

Honestly, McMahon was an above average quarterback. People talk about him as if he was a run of the mill, satisfactory QB with nothing special or noteworthy around him, who succeeded because he played on a team that made it easy for him. And while I agree that Jim was never a star caliber quarterback, he was better than people give him credit for. He was a pretty talented player.

My husband and his brother are so excited for this year. This guy has an arm. I had to smile -as I usually do - when they show the 2017 draft. Passing over Mahomes was the best thing for my hometown team to happen. But, not so much for my husband's team. For years he has been thinking it is a new start and then it busts. But, this guy, Williams, is gonna be the best thing for the Bears.

😂😂😂 based on the QB counter alone, you’d be in for one hell of a night!

@@firstteamfootball😂😂

He deserves em! An all time great

Thank you for the sub!! More videos like this on the way

🐻⬇️

yaa. looking back at history, many fans wanted to foolishly do what the bears have done for 40 years. keep an awful qb and hope he magically gets better.

Phenomenal points! Justin was in fact drafted to save their jobs, and definitely struggled going through progressions in the passing game. Great insight and we’re glad you enjoyed the video!

I just hope for the Bears' sake that Caleb isnt just Fields 2.0. No doubt this comment will get some backlash, but if you want to see something interesting, look up the long list of USC QBs that have been drafted into the NFL. They were all busts, some of them terrible terrible busts, and all of them highly regarded in scouting reports. The ONE exception being Carson Palmer, who although had a long and fairly consistent career, didnt achieve the HoF, nor will he. That's the only one (You can say Hayden, I disagree). USC has a long history of being a very QB friendly system, and an equally long history of those QBs not being nearly as good in the NFL as they looked in college. It's not just Darnold, Kessler, Sanchez, Barkley, Leinart or Cassel either. It's a long and storied list. Does that mean Caleb will follow suit? Who knows. Just saying drafting stud QBs from that system has had a very low percentage success rate.

​@@Heathcoatman The most tired argument. What in the world does Lincoln Riley's USC team from 2023 have to do with QBs who played at that university 20-30 years ago? I guess the Chiefs should have never drafted Mahomes, because "How many great QBs has Texas Tech produced?"

@@VicInNocal Same thing I heard when Darnold was drafted. Exact same. Time will tell, results may vary.

@@VicInNocal Tech has had exactly 2 QBs taken before the 6th round in history. The other is Billy Joe, remember him? Me either. A little different than USC, wouldnt you say? To me the most tired argument is "he was so good in College he is a lock for the NFL" Two completely different games. When was Brady taken again? I wish Caleb luck.

You say that, as if William isn’t a potential head case, possibly ready to implode Ryan Leaf style..

Leaf in comparison to Williams? They're completely different in their head space. Leaf went to party and showed up overweight to camp and didnt try. Williams has been locked in since we took him.

Thank you Michael! It was a collaborative effort and that means a ton to our team. What content would you like to see?

Thanks David! We got some good stuff in the works

Thanks for the sub! We’re glad you liked the video and we will certainly be making more like it for the foreseeable future 🤙

@@firstteamfootball Absolutely; well deserved! Discovering the sports people on YT has been amazing, and this was such a great video. Keep it up; I look forward to it all💪✌️🖖

Thank you Scott! New one coming out soon

He throws nothing like Lamar but yes go bears

And if I remember, Philly went on to win the Super Bowl that season.

Im not gonna say he doesn’t have flaws but the bears organization didn’t really do him any justice in developing him. To dump him after you finally build a team just doesn’t sit right and we still have to see how they perform

@@dylanbaker9394 the unfortunate business side of the NFL. Justin was a superstar playmaker, but consistently showed he could not elevate those around him. Once you pay him, the ability to surround him with bonafide talent becomes more difficult. He didn't really prove that he would be able to put the team on his back in that situation. Instead, we now have Rome, Caleb, Cole, and DJ locked down for the next 4-5 years with plenty of space to sign/re-sign blue chippers.

@@hellonocap7315I think we would’ve had something similar minus Keenan. What’s crazy is thinking Justin was gonna demand top of the market money when he’d have no leverage in doing so. The way I see it, poles was better off letting him go after he almost broke the single season rushing especially if he wasn’t planning on building around him. I like what the surrounded Caleb with but it’s still looking like it’s gone be some issues on the oline yet again

Everybody has to start somewhere ! Now you can say you were here before we got big haha. Just 3 dudes who love football. Thanks for the nice comment…seriously means a lot

@@firstteamfootball yeah dude! I subbed! Can’t wait to see more from yall. Maybe we can get something about the woes the cowboys keep going through😭

@Catalyst512 cowboys are on our short list of teams we want to cover soon! Thanks for the sub!

On our radar! Glad you enjoyed the video

you might not get a warm welcome from all the other bears fans in the comments

@@vincentperiolat4610 thanks brother, means a lot for you to notice that. We got a lot of good content coming up. Stay tuned

you don’t really develop qbs or any players. you give them playing time. 3 years is more than enough to know that JF has no idea what he is doing out there.

The most beautiful yet painful thing about football is the hope that it brings. Caleb may very well be the answer to decades of waiting. Glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for the sub!

Grossman should have been a great QB but after that initial injury, he lost most of his mobility and had to resort to becoming a pocket passer. Was never his style of play in college at Florida. Watch some of his old college films and you will see what I’m trying to indicate.

Facts, too many people are hyping him up and he hasn’t done anything yet.

That means a lot. Thank you. What other topics would you want to see ?

@@firstteamfootball being a bears fan I’m obviously biased towards seeing more videos of their top prospects. But any breakdowns where newer talent is shining in pro situations is always nice to see

Thank you Jansen! We got a new vid dropping very soon

Thank you for the kind remarks and feedback. Shoot us an email if interested in helping with stats/history!

Let’s see if they can figure out their QB development with Caleb. Sure hope they can

Naw niga

i agree

If you watch his film you'll see that he lacks football IQ and relies way too much on his legs and strong arm to make plays. It is a combination of both he being a bad QB and bad ownership that led to his failure in Chicago.

@@Blizzard58 thats a cute opinion bro he was making strides caleb has no escuse to fail with the team they have around him justin didnt have the support NO WHERE NEAR the support that caleb has its impossible for caleb to fail with the amount of talent around him but we shall see caleb has the intelect of a child watch and see

Thanks Dan!

Yeah they had bobby layne And George blanda And got rid of both of them wow lol. But regardless The mccaskys are the problem

@@leethecomedianHave to agree. Like Ditka once said, Halas threw nickels around like man hole covers. Some things never change. I’m waiting for Virginia to pass and see if the grandkids want out of their share of the team which may or should force a sale. 🤞

@@skeletor9121 we know they don't care about the alumni either. Ed (son in law) who George hated got a patch when he died, but Gale didn't. That still pisses me off. That's embarrassingly disrespectful in my opinion. I can live with the losing, but not honoring the alumni, that's disheartening

:>)

😂😂😂 thank you! That means a lot to us. What content would you like to see more of?

Very interesting note! Appreciate the feedback and for the compliment on the video 🙏🏼

Of course! Glad you enjoyed it. More to follow 🤙
