It's been 3 games.

So by "fairly quickly" you meant as early as the 2029 season. Got it

It will be obvious by year 2. Rookie years can be up and down but he will have some games that show his superstar potential.

“We’ll just wait until a bad thing happens to worry about something.”

Fairly quickly is not year 2 in comparison to a QB who "can't propel an object forward". At least give yourself a fighting chance at being credible.

One thing I do find interesting is Tomlin won't name him QB1 after the 3-0 start.
Why is that?
Won't name him QB1 over an injured old man on a 1yr veteran minimum contract .
Tomlin will say he is QB1 if they start 4-0...right?
Does Tomlin consider him a game manager...hmmm

Three weeks in is not the time for credibility. We’re firmly in hot take territory.

I’d draw a number line on the phases of opinionating if I were able to make that happen here.

I think the clear disconnect is that Bears fans want and expect more from Caleb, despite him being a more prolific pocket passer after 3 weeks than Fields has been in 3+ years. We're not building a statue for him.

So we have gone from definitively stating that Caleb is better to now arguing that he is merely "better at the same stage" in a span of what 3 weeks? Justin Fields closed that gap rather quickly didn't he?

He will be better. You know it. That's why you refuse to answer if Williams will outperform what Fields did in Chicago. You know Williams will.

No, I'm trying to help you understand the evaluation process. While Caleb's ability to read a zone defense is FAR better than what Fields or (Pro Bowl QB) (Pro Bowl QB) (Pro Bowl QB) Trubisky have ever been capable of, that isn't enough for Bears fans. Caleb's ability to pass from the pocket and process quickly is FAR superior to what Fields is capable of, but that isn't enough. Being better than Fields isn't the bar for Bears fans. We're hunting bigger game.

If you had to bet money that he would not be named starter, you wouldn't. Which says all that needs to be said
