Williams will likely refuse to accept to play in Chicago

Guess I'll pout like he does.

Poles should tell a Jay Glazer type that Williams isn't mature enough to play in the NFL and should go back to USC for another year until he learns how to speak to adults.

There's a ton to love about his game. The more film I watch, the more impressed I am with him.

But everything I've heard about his personality is pretty alarming.

Our last two QBs have had great attitudes (generally) and were football first. They also needed training wheels to see the field properly even after 3-4 years of experience. If this dude can ball straight out of the box and doesn't require training wheels into his mid 20s, then let's roll. We'll find a way to make the diva stuff work.

The Bears should be looking to get all they can out of Washington for the pick and go from there. I don’t think it ends well drafting a guy that doesn’t want to play for you anyway, sounds like it will be a problem from day 1.


On the other hand I hate all these trade back scenarios where the Bears fall out of range to grab one of the elite players in the draft (like MHJ) and wind up with another player they have to cough up a big salary for (like the Raiders deal).. at some point you accumulate these high draft picks in anticipation of winding up to be in a position to draft generational talent like MHJ or Maye or whoever.. so build thru the draft and don’t pass up on these types of players when the opportunity presents itself. This is especially true when you’ll still acquire future picks in trades with teams like Washington.


.. I’m also getting tired of people busting out these ‘draft trade value’ charts as if it’s a rule you have to go off them. You don’t. Sorry, but not all drafts and prospects are created equal. If the Raiders are calling saying ‘hey, we’ll give you our 1st this year, and two more 1sts (25’ and 26’) and our 2nd’ to come up and grab Williams, then guess what Washington or anyone else..? Thats the fucking price. Fuck your draft chart. You want him, you pay to get him.


All that said, one thing I’m not doing is guaranteeing Williams shit right now -especially if he’s throwing shade saying he won’t come here. Fuck off kid, it’s on you to decide whether or not you declare and it’s on the Bears to decide what they’ll do with that 1st pick. ‘Don’t negotiate with terrorists’ is my policy on this one. If Caleb wants to suck it up and go back to college for 1 more year and play for a mediocre team risk injury and hope he doesn’t wind right back up in the same spot of the draft next year.. have the fuck at it. But the Bears sure as fuck should not give up their leverage in January because this soft asshole wants to play games with his own future. Fuck all that, Bears are still in position to draft Maye, MHJ or any of the other top guys.. or trade back because Maye’s value is still going to be chart topping. But I’d be laughing at these idiots right now gambling on their future if I were the Bears.


‘Fuck off, I’m not telling you in January what I’m doing with this pick, declare or don’t, that’s on you’

He’s not saying he won’t come here.

A parody account made up a story and people are responding to it earnestly.

I think the holdup is he's already sent his resume to Poles but the McCaskeys also want him to type his resume into their online job application system per HR policy.

If they draft him, he'll play for the Bears. Who cares.

Hussra’s post referring to Kalyn Kahler’s messages made me want to look at the original GQ article. There’s more from Caleb’s dad about the draft beyond his reference to “two shots at the apple”..
……………………………………………………………………………….
"The funky thing about the NFL draft process is, he'd almost be better off not being drafted than being drafted first," Carl Williams said. "The system is completely backwards. The way the system is constructed, you go to the worst possible situation. The worst possible team, the worst organization in the league—because of their desire for parity—gets the first pick. So it's the gift and the curse. I mean, I've talked to Archie Manning—his career was shot because he went to a horrible organization. I've talked to Lincoln [Riley], and Kyler [Murray] struggled because of where he was drafted. Baker [Mayfield] struggled mightily because of where he was drafted. The organizations matter."
………………………………………………………………………………
And then there’s this…
………………………………………………………………………….
Williams told GQ Magazine that he has always gotten to choose where he plays football…."I've always been able to choose the team that I've played on, and then everything's been scheduled for me," Caleb Williams told GQ Magazine. "But now, going into this next part of my career, it's weird [because] it's so uncertain. You don't know anything. You can't control anything but you and how you act. That's honestly the weirdest part for me, is the uncertainty."
…………………………………………………………………………………..
It’s easy enough to discount a fake online account, but I think other potential draftees at this point would be eager to post reassuring messages about how they’ll be happy to play for whichever NFL team drafts them. Caleb is not doing that, and he has the support from his family.
I think anybody who just assumes he’d come here if drafted is kidding themselves, but I could be wrong.

Caleb Williams trying to be the Curt Flood of rookies.

at which dentist's office did you find a 6 month old copy of GQ:


"I mean, I've talked to Archie Manning—his career was shot because he went to a horrible organization."


That's why after sucking for 11 seasons as the starter for New Orleans Archie Manning played even worse when he went to Houston and Minn. Sounds like Archie lucked out landing with a zero-expectations franchise. He could be the worst QB in the history of QB's and still be an 11 year starter in the league.


"The organizations matter."

Does he want to play in New England where he will always be compared to Brady, or for the goofy owner in Washington?

This seems to be the perfect year to trade back to #2, have seen where Washington gives up a second and first next year just to move up one spot, would take that deal and let them deal with Caleb Williams and take Maye if your going QB and then Odunze at #9.

If your not going QB you would have a second chance to trade back if you can get the Pats to pony up by making them think someone is trying to move up and take their QB, get another 2nd or 3rd and still take MHJ.

If your keeping Fields you will have the chance to trade back repeatedly and pick up at least one to two future first round picks along with a few seconds and thirds this year, you will even have chances to move off #9 if a QB slides. You would be forever known as the dude that passed on the top QB twice, but you are just kicking the can down the road another year by picking up an extra first next year from a team that likely sucks while filling your roster with extra early round picks.

This is a risky move by Poles because if they do not make the playoffs next year he will be in trouble, Getsy was the scape goat this year, but that card has been played, so a lot of pressure to produce results early next year.

But in the case of the 2024 draft, Carl Williams' statements are incorrect. The Bears appear to be an up-and-coming team with lots of draft capital and salary cap space to improve. Is there a better situation for him among teams that are seeking a new starting QB?

_________________

I am not sure is Williams is the answer... What does MHJ add to this offense? Fields averaged around 17.5 completions a game this past year. Does it go up to 20? I wonder if any thought has been put into trading for an established QB, perhaps Herbert?
