Rookie QB Caleb Williams on Bears: It’s pretty awesome,”I feel that there’s a light at the end of that tunnel.  

This offseason, the Bears significantly improved their wide receiver group by adding Keenan Allen and first-round selection Rome Odunze to DJ Moore. On paper, the offensive line appears stronger. All things considered, this is a far better scenario than the one Justin Fields encountered in Chicago.

How fast Williams becomes a pass-maker who makes a difference will be crucial.

Matt Eberflus is pleased with the rookie quarterback’s ability to process and grow from his early blunders. Williams’ experience playing against the starting defense during minicamp, according to the head coach, was crucial to that growth.

“Well, we could do things differently where I say, ‘Hey, we’re going have the ones go against the twos and twos go against the ones.’ But, I don’t like that,” Eberflus said. “I think that Caleb is a very good talent and his game will go to where it needs to be because I want him to see that in front of him. The window’s closing, the variation of what we do on defense. I want him to see that day in and day out, so that when he gets to play somebody else, it’ll look, ‘OK, I’ve been here and done that.’ That’s how we’re going to keep it.”

The talent surrounding Williams in 2024 provides the rookie a better chance at immediate success than previous Bears quarterbacks. Chicago fans hope the results are different as well.
