When the NFL Draft begins on Thursday, it is extensively assumed the Bears will take Southern Cal quarterback Caleb Williams with the primary general decide. However not everybody believes that Chicago is the precise touchdown spot for him.
An NFL quarterback coach who spoke with Kevin Fishbain and Bruce Feldman of The Athletic questioned the Bears’ capability to develop and construct round a rookie QB.
“Defensive head coach [Matt Eberflus is] on the new seat. New offensive coordinator [Shane Waldron]. There was quarterback stuff with the final No. 1 man with Justin Fields. Half of the crew needed him to remain. Perhaps half of them did not,” the coach mentioned. “These issues are enormous elements for a younger QB coming in at first of his profession. You need to have stability someplace, whether or not it is the top coach, the system, the QB coach, no matter that’s, you want it.”
Eberflus posted a dreadful 10-24 file in his first two seasons with the Beras. Feldman and Fishbain observe that whereas his relationship with the entrance workplace is powerful, that might change if the crew fails to enhance this upcoming season.
Traditionally, the Bears have struggled to develop younger passers. They’ve by no means had a QB throw for 4,000 or extra passing yards. For his half, although, Williams would not appear involved about Chicago’s previous and believes he’ll grow to be a star within the “Windy Metropolis.”
“I need to play at one place for 20 years and chase one man, [future Hall of Famer Tom Brady],” Williams mentioned on a latest episode of “The Pivot Podcast.” “I need a spot that loves ball. That is all I’ve heard about Chicago to this point.”
The Bears upgraded their offense this offseason – which might assist the 2022 Heisman winner succeed – by buying six-time Professional Bowl extensive receiver Keenan Allen from the Los Angeles Chargers and signed Professional Bowl working again D’Andre Swift to a three-year, $24M deal.
