Plenty of people called him great before he ever played an NFL game and you never said a word as usual. I guess you weren't exactly triggered by that piece of "stupidity" aye?

If the kid is good/great it will play itself out and if he isn't then that too will play itself out as well.
I'm first and foremost a Bears fan and wanted to see them make a move to move the franchise forward. Drafting him wasn't that imo. But time will tell.

“We cannot turn away from this truth in this election, putting patriotism ahead of partisanship is not an aspiration —it is our duty.” -Liz Cheney

There's a video of Coleman Shelton's "highlights" from the Titans game posted on Reddit and elsewhere. It's insane how many times Shelton whiffed on blocking assignments, including a couple of pass attempts that were batted down because he allowed so much penetration. Williams didn't have a chance on several plays, and it's something of a miracle he didn't get killed on Sunday. Anyway, that video makes me feel a little better about Williams' performance. For a former offensive lineman, Poles doesn't seem to be a very good judge of offensive line talent.

Poles was allegedly responsible for Creed Humphrey. The veteran/journeyman thing hasn't worked in Chicago. Bates getting bulldozed and Davis not helping Shelton didn't help. These guys need to figure things out quickly.

I propose Shelton was having a mental breakdown in the middle of a football game.

A choke +.

I’m starting to wonder if Poles sees himself in these bums he’s cycling through across the line. It’s like he’s intentionally filling the room with guys nobody else would want.

Wright would be the obvious exception. Maybe Jenkins, but Poles did spend the better part of his first offseason trying to run Jenkins out of town.

The same thought has crossed my mind. It's similar to the way a scouting outsider like Phil Emery sought out a fellow outcast like Marc Trestman to be his head coach.

JT O’Sullivans take seems to be Caleb looked a bit nervous, the O-line was dogshit, and the scheme actually looked good but he questioned the personnel being used at times.


All fixable, and nothing to get over the skis about.


Also, Kurt Warner mentioned that almost all opening week games featured shit QB play with several big names not even breaking the 200 yard mark.

If the rule you followed lead you to this, of what use was the rule?

It is definitely an interesting thought and could be in Poles mind as he makes these decisions.

The ongoing refusal to fix the center position is a travesty. it is perhaps the 2nd most important position on that side of the ball and we continue to kick turds into that position and hope it goes better. No doubt we all got spoiled by having that position locked up by someone like Olin for so long, but they have to be able to get someone that is at least serviceable.

We are all guilty of this to some extent. That said, if you're going to spend money in certain areas, you have to hit on a few TJ Edwards type of players to stay competitive. I think Poles approach is making the Bears appealing to guys who may have one season left in their body.

This guy has been breaking down film and going in on Caleb for awhile now. He has him as a bust.

No rookie qb had won an opening day start in 6 years before Caleb did. I'm thrilled with the historic result.

So how many starts and how many tds does Williams throw in a Bears uniform? We can set the over/under at Fields numbers with Chicago if you want.

That's not what I would call an endorsement of Poles' team-building strategy.

He's building through the draft and free agency. If Caleb is great, you're going to eventually need some cheap salaries to fill out your roster. Sow those seeds today.

You are taking nonstop about how much he sucks. Just put some actual weight behind it.

Ok.do you think he will be "Generational" "great" "very good" what exactly?

I'm not interested in discussions where you want to ask gotcha questions all day.

He will be good in year 1. Great in year 2. I don't think he's the next Mahomes or Brady though.

Now how about you? Starts and total tds? More than Fields?

Why can't you ever seem to do anything besides disagree with me?

What do you think Caleb Williams will be and why?

_________________

OK so you have him to be An All Pro by the end of Year 2. I disagree and believe that he will not be. I have him to be a bust actually and nowhere near what Prognosticators think he will be.

Not an All Pro. Pro Bowl sure. Top 10 sure. Hopefully even better than top 10.

Don't take that too hard Doc. He disagrees with everything I say too and you and I never agree so....
