You may have been correct in your original assessment of Calib Williams. But we didn’t know just how bad it really was. And of course, well they are the dysfunctional Chicago Bears. lol Great article below in Part 1 of a 3 part series by Tyler Dunne.

“House of Dysfunction, Part I: The Curious Case of Caleb Williams.
Our series on the Chicago Bears begins with a look at the quarterback. His coaches from 2024 open up on a season from hell. ("There’s no substitute for the work. That’s something he needs to learn.")

“In Part I, we reveal how 2024 spiraled out of control through the eyes of those coaches. A season that included extreme frustrations, a near benching, a late-season revelation and mass firings. “A shitshow,” one says.
In Part II, we revisit the farce of a draft process that led GM Ryan Poles to select Williams No. 1 overall. One personnel man recalls the charade as “rigged.”
In Part III, we zoom out: Who’s to blame? The Bears have become an organization repellent to independent thought. The GM inherited a bad situation and managed to make it worse with a 15-36 record. All roads in this league tend to lead back to ownership.
Ben Johnson and his staff now stare down the barrel of more disorder than they anticipated.
The quarterback he inherits is not the same species of football junkie.
Former Bears coaches cannot grin and bear it.“
