The Commanders and Bears have taken drastically different approaches to developing their rookie quarterbacks. Sunday was our first head-to-head look at how each approach is going.
The Chicago Bears and Washington Commanders game, featuring the 2024 draft's top two picks at quarterback, was flexed into the late window on Sunday, and for good reason. Both quarterbacks were coming into it flying pretty high. Caleb Williams and the Bears were coming off their bye week after winning three straight games. Jayden Daniels was playing to put his team in sole possession of first place in the NFC East — something few people gave them a shot at prior to the season starting.
That ranked 30th among qualified quarterbacks with at least 25 dropbacks. There were miscommunications up front. There were timing issues on routes with receivers. It looked uglier than even I thought it would, taking into account how much new was on the offense in addition to Williams. But Daniels had a lot of new too, without nearly the same amount of talent, and Kingsbury did his best to mesh what Daniels was asked to do in college with what he'll be asked to do long-term in the NFL.
