Do you think Williams will outperform what Fields did as a rookie?

Who knows. But the expectation will be much greater for him to outperform Fields as a rookie.

I know. Everyone knows. Williams will outperform Fields as a rookie. Bryce Young also outperformed Fields as a rookie.

I'm sure the Bears players and their fans are just chomping at the bit to draft the 22nd best QB in the NFL. Positively "giddy" in fact

Yeah on a team that won't be tanking (As Fields team happened to be doing) that will thought of as a "wonderful" thing won't it?

Still lots of Bears fans that are chomping at the bit to keep the 23rd best QB. So it kind of makes sense, on balance.

I think I heard that a significant number of Super Bowls have been won by quarterbacks that were selected #1.

Fair or not, he'll have to be great immediately. It is what it is. I think he's built for the expectations.

I'll hold him to Stroudian standards if he's drafted:

Top 15-18 QBR
Impactful increase in offensive points per game
Multiple comeback victories led by QB (Stroud had multiple)
Top 12 passer rating
270 yards per game passing

Yes, the lack of touch and sidearm motion are significant concerns. But he is a more accurate passer than MANY and throws into tight windows very effectively.

Bernie Kosar was pretty good

nice cultural appropriation

Kevin Sheehan had former UNC OC/QB coach and current Wisco OC/QB's coach Phil Longo on. Longo said he worked with Kliff Kingsbury but didn't indicate when that was.

Anyhow, Sheehan obviously brought Longo on to try to pump him for inside info on Kingsbury's QB plans. Longo, who coached both current Redskins QB Sam Howell and Drake Maye at NC thought Kliff should roll with Sam Howell. Thought the Redskins needed to improve their O-Line and give Howell another shot. Didn't say anything about Williams other than Kingsbury would likely prefer C-Will over Maye or Daniels b/c familiarity, if the Redskins drafted a QB--which Longo didn't seem to think they should this time around.

Longo looks like Wisconsin football:

If you flip the video it doesn't look as weird, but it's still fairly sidearmed

Great is a relative term. Even if he is not a top 5 QB right out of the chute, he will outplay Fields in the passing game simply by throwing for 3000 yards and keeping the fumbles to a minimum. Its not a real high bar to be a better passing QB than Fields.

Fields was given a better OLine and a stud WR and only minimally improved as a passer from 2022 to 2023. Only dolts like LTG still believe Fields is the guy here. In fact if you find yourself opposing LTG in any argument-- especially when it comes to the NFL-- its a good sign that you're right or that he's wrong.

Williams may turn out to be a bust as well, but if you're Ryan Poles you have to take your chances on with him. Fields is not the guy. You have to move on. Seeing as you have the #1 pick and Williams is there, its not hard for regular people to connect the dots.

Off-season out of town football is amazing.

Hopefully the cult takes the time to come up with better pro Fields arguments other than "but he's really talented, check out this YouTube highlight where he doesn't see three open receivers but still jukes someone out to gain 4 yards".

post-draft discussion about what happened is fine

pre-draft discussion about all the possibilities is mind numbing....as much as it pains me to agree with Caller Bob, he's right, they're taking Williams so to debate the million alternate scenarios is pretty pointless.

What's worse is people publishing their mock drafts with serious sounding titles like "Report: Bears trade down in new mock draft"

i mean, the Bears are fucking idiotic, so I suppose it's in the realm of possibility that they trade down 1 and 9, then trade down from there so they have 30 4th round picks in the next 3 years.

but still, they're taking Williams

Not really.

What the hell do you mean "not really"? Wasn't one of your central arguments that 80% of bears fans wanted to keep Fields?
