OT: Caleb Williams didn't want the Bears to draft him

[Huckleberry1]

I wasn't saying Loveland is a bad player, I was saying it seemed like a bad pick for their team.

Yep, I should have acknowledged that in my reply.

 

[WhatJustHappened]

I'm just glad that DaBears took him, I wanted no part of a Divab!tch crybaby on my team.

 

[Grogan14]

Ben Johnson will make him happy he is on the bears. BJ has done a great job of surrounding him with +++ talent and a decent OL.
He will have a big year.

 

[WhatJustHappened]

Not sure about the Big Year, but the excuses will be gone.

Caleb Williams got no guidance on how to watch film

The ESPN.com item regarding quarterback Caleb Williams generated the biggest headlines regarding his interest in avoiding the Bears.

www.nbcsports.com

crazy follow up on florios site...

1. that the bears did not help caleb williams with film... just set him up and said "watch the film"... eberflus musta really had an eye for detail... that past part is sarcasm, just in case anyone didn't pick up on it...

2. that williams did not know how to watch film... figure maybe in the years he had a usc someone would teach him what to look for? maybe? guess that the difference between a guy working hard at his craft vs a guy who just gets by on natural talent...

as for williams wanting to go to the vikings, i suppose every rookie qb wants to throw to a guy like justin jefferson...

I don't know man. Caleb's got today's (lack of) fashion sense down, he's a great little accesorizer. That nail polish with that phone, total fire

so maybe he wanted to go to minnesota so he could accessorize with purple?

Could be. Navy blue and orange? That's like so ancient it's not even retro. Watcha gonna do with that lame ****? Purple tho... possibilities there

[Pape]

Huh... didn't know he played guitar... a real renaissance man... gotta say though, Caleb is really leaning into this Purple/Minnesota thing, isn't he?

I watched him a lot at USC, but his last year was a red flag for me. USC fans and Alumni I know would stick up for him and blame the defense. While the defense was the worst I've ever seen and looked like bad Madden AI, there was something off with Williams. He was better as a front runner. Then you have him demanding a piece of ownership leading up to the draft. However, I don't blame him for wanting to negotiate the removal of the franchise tag which the Bears rejected.

More dirty laundry will be aired if the Bears have another bad season.

I saw on some social media a part of a Ben Johnson interview saying he wants Caleb to throw to more than 4500 yards, that would be the first time in franchise history and he had that tone, super excited, you know kid on a new exciting job, having no idea what's coming.

I don't know but I think we are better of with Vrabel, I don't think I've ever listened a HC talking about QB passing yards which is something for fantasy football fans and bettors.

 

[Patriot Missile]

I highly doubt this report is reliable. Everyone wants to be the first pick and I’d almost be willing to bet if you were bored enough, you could find a quote claiming he’d love to be the 1st player off the board.

As far as the report of him and not being told what tape to watch I’m skeptical. That’s a pretty damaging accusation to the offensive coaches if true. If not, it’s a pretty damaging claim.

Tbh, it smells kind of weird like he’s deflecting scrutiny on the old regime. Not a good look but he’s young.

We are not only better off with Vrabel’s, I wouldn’t change anything he did this last offseason.

Maybe draft someone different as Mr Irrelevant?

I would have kept Joe Cardona... not really digging the reason Vrabes gave for making him walk the plank...

You’re misreading it. He wanted the Bears to trade him to the Vikings like Eli got traded to the Giants.

Wickerscam

He pretty much nailed the Patriots drama

Defense and running the ball still wins championships.

Its fine to be c o c k y and exhume confidence.

But, Williams strikes me as having Sheduer Sanders arrogance. Neither has accomplished jack 5hit in the NFL, but they demand all this respect. I believe Chicago took the wrong QB again.

Ben Johnson expressed that he was not impressed with Jayden Daniels predraft.
