If I had to pick a young quarterback to build my team around, I’d go with Caleb Williams.
I was very impressed with what the Chicago Bears quarterback did a year ago and believe he has an opportunity to be just as good as everybody expected him to be coming out of USC.
There were some lofty expectations placed on Williams, and in year two, his first with new head coach Ben Johnson, he was excellent, throwing for 3,942 yards, 27 touchdowns, and seven interceptions.
However, that hasn’t stopped others from saying that he’s not as good as some might think. In fact, there are people out there who believe that he’s not even the best quarterback in his draft class, even though it seemed rather obvious a year ago.
“Caleb Williams has the goods, but the dip in completion percentage is slightly concerning. We’ll see if year two with Ben Johnson can fix things there, but it’s clear that Williams has this off-schedule, clutch ability that only a few others in the league have, and that’s going to be a quality that allows the Chicago Bears to win a ton of games,” Lou Scataglia, who ranked Williams behind Bo Nix and Drake Maye, wrote.
The only one who should really have any conversation with Williams, to me, is Maye.
I don’t think Maye is nearly as good as Williams, but that’s just my opinion. Regardless, Williams is going to have to go out and show that he will be the guy in the long term.
