Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams has shown major flashes of superstar potential to begin his NFL career. However, there have been some consistency issues.
As a team, the Bears have taken a huge step forward. Entering Week 15 action, they hold a 9-4 record and are firmly in the NFC playoff picture.
So far this season, Williams has played in 13 games. He has thrown for 2,908 yards, 19 touchdowns, and six interceptions, while completing 57.8 percent of his passes and running for 321 yards and three more scores. Those numbers do show a slight drop from his rookie year.
Despite the numbers not being where Chicago would have preferred them, one former NFL quarterback spoke out and didn’t hold back about the young quarterback.
Ryan Fitzpatrick shared his thoughts on Williams. He is clearly very high on the Bears’ signal caller and spoke strongly about Williams.
“[Caleb Williams] is a magician in the pocket,” Fitzpatrick said. “This dude throws better on the run than anyone in the NFL.”

While there was a lot of praise from Fitzpatrick, the former quarterback also revealed one area where he thinks Williams needs to improve to take the next step.
“I would just like to see Caleb a little bit more, ‘What was the play that was designed, let’s see if it can be executed that way.’ I think that’s the next step he has to take.”
If Williams can unlock his full potential, the Bears are going to be a very dangerous football team. He has the ability to become one of the top quarterbacks in the NFL. With an improved team around him, it has become clear that Chicago will do whatever it takes to support its franchise face.
With that being said, the Bears have a big matchup at home this week against the Cleveland Browns. Beating the Browns would set up a massive showdown with the Green Bay Packers in Week 16 on Sunday Night Football. That game could end up deciding who wins the NFC North division.
