#NFLVideos: Realistic expectations for Bears if they draft USC QB Caleb Williams

Realistic expectations for Bears if they draft USC QB Caleb Williams

Exciting time. Good luck Matt. Thanks. All right. Thanks The bears are on the clock and they are going to be busy. They got two picks in the top ten in April’s draft. Daniel Jeremiah’s latest mock has four quarterbacks coming off the board in the first four picks. Not surprisingly, though, he’s

Got Caleb Williams heading to Chicago, which feels more and more likely as we approach the draft next month. So assuming that that is the pick, guys, what a realistic expectations for the bears with Caleb Williams. Jason Jason, it’s like, get ready. This is the time Caleb Williams goes to

Chicago. All the catch phrases come out. It’s going to be like sky’s the limit. Untapped potential for the Chicago Bears offense Keenan Allen and everybody’s going to be talking about and putting all these lofty expectations. And there’s going to be people saying, well remember he’s a rookie quarterback. There’s a transition. There’s an

Adjustment period that they all go through. So don’t put too much on him. I look at it and Kyle, you did this in the first hour where you go back and you look at history. Sure. First overall draft picks, which teams go to the playoffs. When we start talking about

Expectations, that’s kind of where you draw the line. Are there going to be a playoff team or are they not? It’s happened nine times in the NFL team draft. First overall, and that team goes to the playoffs the next year. Only two times was it after drafting a quarterback.

One of those times was in zero four when Philip Rivers was drafted. He didn’t play. Drew Brees was the guy. So you go back to 2012. The Indianapolis Colts, they drafted quarterback. That was Andrew Luck. And they go to the playoffs. You said it earlier in the 7:00 hour. They

Went to the playoffs that year. And the year after with Chuck Pagano and Andrew Luck as their quarterback for the Chicago Bears. You get Caleb Williams in there. We’ve already talked about the guys that they brought in on the offensive side of the ball. They finish the year pretty solid last year, winning

Seven games. You look across their division. You’re looking at the green Bay Packers, you’re looking at the Detroit Lions. I don’t know that Caleb Williams gives them enough to be able to get over that type of hump in year one. As a Chicago bear, are they going to be much improved?

Of course. They’re a team that was ascending last year in their locker room. Justin Fields was a guy that and you hear the word Eberflus talks about him holes. They came together, gave him a phone call, told him they loved him and what he meant to the organization because he gave

Everything he had. I think there’s a lot of guys in that locker room who absolutely love Justin Fields. Caleb Williams is going to have to come in and I said it before you come in as a rookie, you go out there and play well. Guys are going to

Love you and going to respect you. You can talk all about the things he did at USC, Hollywood, all this. You go out there and you play well. That’s all that matters. Guys want to win games. I think this is a team that has improved. I don’t see them as a

Playoff team. I think realistic expectations, they take another step offensively and they win maybe 8 or 9 games. But I do think they fall short of a playoff. Let me ask you guys Chris I want you to win on this Caleb comes in unlike any rookie ever. Yeah. There’s all these

Rumors that he made millions of dollars last year. He’s wealthy a lot of fame LA like it’s just it feels different how do you feel as a veteran in the locker room as a guy who comes in already that famous? He’s got endorsements. He’s made a ton of

Money. Is that tougher to win the locker room or what’s the challenges there? No, I don’t think it’s going to be tougher to win, to win the locker room. He’s going to win the locker room with how he plays. Right. And I think that’s really all. I mean, do all these kids coming

Out of college, these big name guys I mean they’re making money and rightfully so right. They’re their name and likeness and they’re actually benefiting from it. What these what Caleb has to come in and do is really lean on the weapons that he has on offense. DJ Keenan Allen right.

I mean who knows how he’s going to be as a football player, how he’s going to compete, right? I mean, he did a lot of great things at USC. So I think the guys that are in this locker room already, they’re going to have to help him a ton. Do I

Think that this team is going to be a playoff team? No, I don’t, but I do think that if he comes in, he he plays hard. You know he wins the locker room with how he competes on the field and can get the ball to his playmakers.

You know I think that he’ll have a decent season right I mean it’s not a playoff season. I don’t think it’s a playoff team, but I think that he can take some positive steps. Respect your opinion. I’m going to offer a counter and I want to give you

Guys Chris. Chris let me ask you do you golf. I do I know you do. Yes You’re probably really good. Yeah. So be I bet you’re incredible. What are your three handicap. One. Oh my gosh. All right Sarah we know your feelings on the sport of golf. Jason, you don’t golf. I don’t

Really much. All right. So but let’s do a little closest to the pin. All right I’m going to show you. Don’t show it yet I’m going to show you three defensive statistics for the bears last year. Arguably the three most important statistics in defense. And I’m going to show where they

Ranked over the last six weeks of the season. So for each statistic the number is the same. Like it’s 12, 12, 12, eighth, eighth, eighth, 20th, 20 20th, whatever closest to the pin in these three defensive statistics, I’m going to show you where do you think the bears

Are going to rank in the league over the last six weeks? Chris, pick the number. Eighth. You think you going to rank eighth eighth eighth okay Jason. The Chicago Bears they finished strong defense I’m going to say they rank. I’m going to say 12th 12th a step up from the year

Before 12 12th Sarah what do you think this is the last six weeks of the season. And Chris so then I’ll go lower Chris went eight eight and 12. I’ll go fifth okay. Fifth, 12th eighth closest to the pin. Bring up the bears statistics defensively over the last six weeks of the season.

Read em and weep fellas. And lady. First in points per game allowed first in rushing touchdowns allowed. Tied and first interception. I also want you to know that those 13 interceptions, that is the most in a six game streak since the heyday of the Legion of Boom in Seattle. Wow. The bears defense

Was cooking at the end of the season. Nobody remembers this. They blasted the Lions down the stretch. They won by two touchdowns over the Dan Campbell Lions. We should have been in the Super Bowl now. They were not a good team. They did not have a good record and they

Finished the season only scoring nine points offensively. Look it up that day. The Jordan love Packers also headed to the playoffs, scored 13 points. The defense was awesome. The offense was not enter for Keenan Allen. Enter DeAndre Swift and enter Caleb Williams Caleb Williams I’ll say it right now. Will

Break the streak for Chicago Bears. They have never had a 4000 yard passer. He will have it in his rookie year. Year one year one. He will have 4000 yards. In year one. They will come out throwing. They will come out running. That offense is ready. The defense was one of

The best in the NFL in the last six weeks, if not the best. Remember Eberflus defense of Guy? Yup. Older guy, old school defense. Hit tackle. He got this thing working finally. They couldn’t get the offense working. It just wouldn’t work. In Justin Fields finale, he scores nine points in his last

Game as a bear against the arch rival. Goodbye Enter Caleb huge talent, much better set of weapons in front of him. They also have the nine pick who’s going to be in there, who might be another weapon or it will be a defensive player and an edge rusher. Just throw into one of

The best defenses at the end of the year. Last year, the 4000 yard streak will be broken. I don’t think a wild card is out of question. I’m telling you, at the end of the season, as good as they were, don’t forget what they did to Detroit. Who’s going

To be the big dog in that division this year? Along with green Bay? They have issues to settle with the Packers. They always do. Historically 4000 yards this year, one of the best defenses in football and one of the highest upsides on offense. I like the bears this year,

Caleb the nine pick, everything else. I’m into it. Guys I don’t apologize for it. Week 14 they beat Detroit by 15 points. And down that stretch they beat Minnesota on Monday Night Football in Minnesota. They lost to the Browns by three points. Ridiculous collapse by the bears should have won the game. They

Blew it. And so again then after you put up that full screen they’re obviously going to win the division now. So I’m gonna change my answer. And you know what’s funny though I do think that people I know that this is maybe stating the obvious, but you just think first overall

Pick in the draft. It’s because, you know, you had a terrible season. This isn’t why they’re the first overall pick. I mean, this is a team that was already ascending to your point. So I mean, I know people know that, but it’s like we’re just so used to and accustomed to I mean,

They’re only the first pick in the draft because of the trade with the Panthers and all that. And then and then you have a one and a nine. So it’s a different position then for the number one team than we usually see. So yeah they’re starting Caleb is starting at a different jumping
