Analysis: Caleb Williams says he's ready to improve step by step in Year 1 rather than get caught in the trap many QBs fall into by getting ahead of themselves.
During the offseason, Bears offensive coordinator Shane Waldron described what he has seen about Caleb Williams’ ability to shrug off a bad play during practices.
“I think as far as developing relationships with anybody the more time you're around people the more time you get to interact face to face and know each other, the tighter that relationship becomes,” Waldron said.There is no way Waldron can know right now how Williams reacts to anything. It’s only been practice and Waldron hasn’t been around Williams in games to see if he keeps everything in proper perspective.
There is about a 50-50 chance of Williams completing 60% of his passes or better. Of those 31, 15 of them were under and 16 over. Only nine got as high as 63% completions. The average for a rookie first-round quarterback in that decade is 60.4%. They need him to be closer to the five interceptions Joe Burrow threw as a rookie than the 15 Jameis Winston had.
In Williams’ case, there is a very strong core of weapons in place for support, much like with Burrow and later Tagovailoa.
