Chicago Bears' Caleb Williams has rare level of maturity as rookie | Pro Football Talk | NFL on NBC
/ nflonnbc - Sport
It’s a shame how the media tried to portray Caleb in a certain way, he seems like a good and talented kid who’s showed nothing but positive signs for the bears
Colored QBs have “character concerns“ while Whites “aren’t athletic enough” . That’s the media for you.
Yeah screw those darn media pundits for telling him to paint his nails, act zesty and cry in his moms lap. How dare they 😂😂😂😂
@@georgealvarez1195get over it bro how does that affect his talent and leadership?
They said he wanted a percentage of the team, he didn't want to go to Chicago, he wanted to go to Washington, he was a bad guy, his teammates hated him, he just wanted to paint his nails, his Dad was part of the pick..it was a combo package, Chicago would destroy his career. We heard it all...seems like people were scared and trying to keep him from going to da Bears. He is none of the above..he's the opposite...crazy media.
You can tell which fans bought into that media narrative when they say "bust for sure" or "is he going to cry to his mom now" whenever I see those comments it makes me think those fans lack intelligence
he wants to be the best and doesn’t just say it, he’s trying to live it. gotta respect it
There is nothing more valuable to Bears fans than to hear national media unbiased (or pushing for clicks) and “informed ” talk about your team.. You guys do it very, very well and with a smile and you do it constantly … thank you.
Yall still poverty btw 😂
We finally have a team interesting enough for people wanting to follow the progress and the trajectory of not only this phenomenal roster but this much improved front office and coaching staff. The first time in a long time the bears are fun to watch, and for the first time ever they’re here to stay.
You sound awfully jealous there buddy what’s the problem your team ain’t getting enough attention or something?
@@colinmueller2781 As a ‘long’ life Bears fan, i know things can go bad any minute but i cannot think of anything Poles could do better or more quickly at this point. I’m very pleased with the outlook and these two have been well informed in their positive assessment throughout the off season. I like hearing from both of them. Kudos to their informed opinions.
Another pod i tried to listen to, joking that Bagent is not a suitable backup. I get their somewhat misinformed projection but i stop listening at that moment. That’s the simple difference sometimes.
McCaskey curse. How was Ted Phillips not fired 10x over? He was the Matt Mullen of the Bears. All starts at the top. Def waiting for the bottom to drop out after about 5 decades of dysfunctional ownership and a golden goose fan base. It’s like an abusive relationship at this point. Sell the team!!
5:47 if someone reminds themselves how blessed they are even when things are going bad, that person will eventually feel blessed. That is the greatest commandment
Damn they got existential this episode
Didn't expect a sports show to get so deep and philosophical like that ahahaha. Some true stuff though.
#18 is giving Manning energy
new sheriff in town
😂😂😂😂😂
Bears fans better hope it's Manning energy and not Kyle Orton or Mike Tomczak energy (though Orton wasn't terrible...just not anywhere close to Manning)
As long as the Bears win a Super Bowl during the Caleb Williams era, we good. Just one ring
“I’m a good swimmer” - Chris Simms😂
I think it's all on Chicago's OC, their success or lack thereof is all on the coaches. The team is LOADED with talent.
I hope Caleb can adapt to that late season weather in Chicago, his game in South Bend showed he needs work.
For heaven sakes can we please allow this man to play one game
zeek every NFL team through their media talk about the potential of a top quarterback prospect! What's your problem!
Mike Florio “I’m getting gray” don’t worry you got.
Love you Mike!
Thanks for showing Tyson some love.
I’m really pulling for this kid.
I’ve been watching the Bears since I was 7 in 1977, so I don’t get too happy about a QB, until I see results.
I’m still mad we traded McMahon.
Well, the hype is real. It’s crazy what’s happened to the Bears in the last 2 seasons. I think if Caleb lives up to 51% of the hype, he will be really good. With this team, it looks like he’s got everything in place for his development. This team is, on paper, ready to compete for the division title and the playoffs and maybe even more. Can’t wait.
GREAT SHOW! GO #18/BEARS!! SO right, CW, 1 step at a time!!
The number 18 is what he wore in high school!
Also his birthday is Nov 18th!
@@Clifford777 Did not know that! That would explain the high school jersey number! 👍🏻
Woah!!! 😮😮😮
Was not ready for this existential discussion 😂
Minnesota is a team that’s never been one to worry about my guy. Lol.
As a Vikings fan, I completely agree. Especially with JJ McCarthy, who will never be better than the third best quarterback in the division. No team is ever a consistent contender with the third best quarterback in their division. Vikings are so ridiculous. It’s hard to support them, when you look around the league and see what other teams are doing, while they work backwards
@@romain8390lmao and how well did it work for us when we had Kirk? 🤣🤣 Go be a fan of another team since we’re doing it wrong!
Neither are the Bears. Still waiting for yall to take the North. 🤣🤣
@@saraxiong it didn’t work out well for us at all, having the second or third best quarterback in the division with kirk cousins, depending on how you see Jared Goff/Stafford. So thank you for proving my point.
Although currently a MN resident for 30 years I am a WI boy and long time diehard Packer fan beginning with St. Vincent Thomas Lombardi and yet I love the Viqweens. It is so much fun watching their fans ALWAYS crying after EVERY loss due to the refs either making bad calls, failing to make calls or both. And who can forget the Viqweens’ 0-4 Super Bowl record of losses! Even their absolutely greatest coach, Bud Grant, was from and continued to live in Superior, WI throughout his 94 years of life. They proclaimed their ‘best ever quarterback’ in Brett Favre who was only such due to playing with the Packers. Even their pussyfooted Metro-Breast stadium collapsed upon itself due to snow load. And we Green & Gold beat the shit out of those purple pussies more than they do us. Yep, love ém. Geaux Vikes.
Man, always enjoyed watching Florio and Simms for how insightful they are. It's a treat to get so much positivity for Da Bears and the deep conversations as well. I wasn't expecting it to become philosophical at times but I'm all here for it. Great points all around, cheers!
Love the part about life and winning the lotto. That was amazing and a topic bigger then sports Well stated fellaz
This was a very deep episode of profootball talk
This is the Chicago bears he'll be looking for a new team in 3 years
6:00 that got deep
I remember my first Sgt used to tell me that when I was a young buck in the army
The caleb glazing is out of control
When you’re the number 1 pick in the draft and you throw him on a loaded stacked offense the media tends to gloat why you must be jealous? 🤷🏾♂️
Everybody get your last Sid Luckman, Bears jokes in........... because we coming!!!
God bless Chris Simms.
Florio and Simms talking Stoic philosophy.
I have been a Chicago Bears fan for 38 years. I can tell you that I am not waiting for any sho to drop this year. I expect them to have a winning season this year, and to sustain that winning in the subsequent years to come.
50 year Bears fan here....My sentiments exactly
Super Bowl push this year baby!!!!
@@stevethomas5467 🐻⬇️
Same here, fan for over 40 years
Fan since birth 62 years ago. Agreed … my 30 yo old as well. Definitely have good reason to be very optimistic about this year and years to come👍.
I wonder how many times Mike was put in a trash can or called little Mikey by a bunch of snickering girls😂
Bears are about to tear up the league. BEAR CLAW DOWN!!
💅⬆️🐻⬇️
Thats our qb!
Florio getting existential here lol
Chris simms the philosopher episode
Jim McMann was a franchise QB, you don’t have to go back to 1950.
Cutler was better than Jim
18 was Caleb's highschool #
It's almost impossible for Caleb Williams to live up to the hype. Wouldn't blame him for that.
Jim McMahon was a franchise QB. He was unbeaten as a starter four straight calendar years. 1984-1987. 25-0. Still a record. Retired with two rings. He’s one of the best I ever saw to do it. He was a genius IMHO.
Jimbo Covert said that he was the smartest player that he ever played with.
As a fan since 1965, Jim's 84-87 years were so much fun as a Bears fan. Looking forward to this kid.
9+9=18 😎😎😎
What’s funny is Jim McMahon was the second string QB for the Packers….
@@Magicmike12 Not too funny, the Packer player injured him in ‘86 on an illegal hit, he required surgery on his shoulder, was never the same after. We would have had another superbowl trophy if that doesn’t happen. Freaking Packers!
I feel like me and Mike are the same people lol
Well, geez, Mike is getting all existential on us today.
🐻 ⬇️it's go time
I’m a good swimmer 😂😂
No other nationals shows will post this
It's esoteric people where 18 = 6+6+6 which is 6 protons, 6 neutrons and 6 electrons, which is the number of man, which is the number of the beast. In other words, the man wearing #18 for the Bears is going to be a BEAST!
Great
Ya. We'll see.
I can't lie I was one who was so hurt and very shocked the Bears traded Fields but I can't lie Caleb has won me over fully. I am definitely on board fully for Caleb; I am still a little apprehensive on the Bears because we are the Bears but I really like Caleb and I can see him becoming a great QB or the top 3 QB in the league in the next 3 - 5 years. That kind of work ethic with the talent on tape I honestly do not see how he can possibly fail outside of any injuries. I still DO NOT trust Eberlose that is our weak link hopefully after this season we can find a new HC who can take us to the promise land. Sean McVay can definitely change the course of the Bears if we can get him away from the Rams.
It takes a honest person to admit they were wrong, well done sir.
🐻⬇️
✌️✝️
I think Eberflus is solid, he had nothing to work with, and got that d humming toward the second half of the season. With a qualified OC and excellent additions to the team we should be in playoff contention.
@@attilasuto6013 I will be surprised and somewhat disappointed if they don't make the playoffs. That should be, at minimum, the goal this year.
For some of the reasons you stated there should be no reason they don't.
🐻⬇️
✌️✝️
@@keithk1559 I feel the same way, but if we get close and don’t make it and we’ll be convinced that Caleb is the goods, I’ll be happy with that too. As long as we don’t have embarrassing losses due to coaching errors. Keep in mind that rookie’s make plenty of mistakes, I think Stroud and Love will both have sophomore slumps!
You will be disappointed because he will be a bust, media is making out to be something he isn’t , he will not be able to live up to the hype
Sid luckman 1950’s wouldn’t even make a nfl roster todays comparisons should be closer to this era
NEWS FLASH: Caleb Williams is NOT Peyton Manning.
I don't know seems suspicious. How can we truly know this for sure 🤔
Hopefully he's not like that choke artist
he's probably better
Hopefully in 10 years we will be saying PM is not CW. One can hope.
🐻⬇️
✌️✝️
You're right. He's better.
God i hate how all these talking heads start talking about a “leader” say he’s a leader or he’s going to be a leader, it’s all bull, leadership is tell, it’s a “show”
He just might lead us to the promised land. Did we FINALLY get this right?😅
If he wins, he'll be enshrined forever. Bears need one. And if he gives us just 1. Then he'll have a statue at halas hall.
Whether or not someone colors their hair is really none of your business, Florio. You do you.
Yes it is, he is a media talking head. Opinionating is literally his job.
It’s absurd to make statements like this in rookie camp. You have no idea how mature he is until he goes through the trials of a season. This is total click bait.
So no one should say anything until the football season? This is off-season chats man.
That makes zero sense. He hasn’t shown any levels of immaturity even in college so why not talk about this? It isn’t like they’re saying he’s already the master of the playbook and the league’s game.
The way he hande himself shows maturity, listen to vets talk about, u talking adversity, the coaches been around mature people, how would u know , u at bears facilitys
C. DUB IS ON TOP OF THE WORLD. The Bears never had a QB of his caliber, with a dominant WR. The Bears will rebuild their Defense, and stack their OL in these upcoming years
He appears to be a competitive person who wants to be a top half QB, would give up some money to get there vs someone who gets paid and it's all about money. If you want the money, ignore the money and become a 10+ year top starter and the money takes care of itself.
This is what I'm hoping for. I'm hoping he's more like Brady and not Rogers. If he sucks up all the money he doesn't win diddly.....
Who is the Bears back up QB? I VERY much question giving a rookie QB who couldn't handle adversity in USC...... the keys to be the un questioned starting QB. The Lions, Packers and yes! Even Vikings have good squads. He will face adversity I think it would better to have a seasoned vet start, and ease Williams into the role. Throwing him out there day one with a so so team not sure about that move
So-so team?!? First of all number 1 picks will almost always start right away. But so-so team?!?! What number 1 pick qb walks into a situation w arguably the best receiving core in football a top 15 rb and a top 10 TE. Oh yeah and once flus started calling plays a top 10 defense.
@@tristangriffin6687 my friend did you not learn anything from Bears fans talking smack the last 3 years lol.... Allen is an aging WR, Dj Moore is ok, with a rookie WR, and an ok TE. You got Oline problems.... the Defense is sus. I think the Lions, Green Bay and even The Vikings will finish above the Bears this season
@@johndoe-mx1fo Are you kidding? The Packers won 9 games, Love will have a sophomore slump. There’s tape on him now! Vikings with JJ McCarthy scare you? Detroit has Goff, and we have his number. I think the Bears will be in second place in our division.
Allen is older, he still has 2 years left, the oline was addressed with Bates and Sheldon, plus our draft pick.
@@attilasuto6013 My friend you are delusional. Jordan Addison, Justin Jefferson, T J Hockenson. I would take that over what the Bears have. Goff, Amon Ra St Brown, Sam Laporta, Gibbs, The Lions Oline I will take that over anything the Bears got. I do agree we need to see more from Love, but the packers team is still better then the Bears. The Lions upgraded their Defense. I trust the Lions, Packers, and Vikings Defense way more then the Bears at this point.
@@johndoe-mx1fo I love Jefferson, he is the man for sure, but how many games did he play last season? Not too many. Since you pooped on the Bears receiving core let me tell you what we have DJ Moore over 1200 yards gained Keenan Allen over 1200 yards Rome Odunze over 1600 yards last season in college ( I know rookie) Cole Kmet over 700 yards Swift RB over 500 yards receiving. And we have plenty of depth pieces at receivers and TE2 and RB. So I feel that we have plenty of talent on offense, actually the most I’ve ever seen in my lifetime. Now it’s all on paper, but I think it will translate to the field.
Now Detroit we beat once and everyone knows we had them twice, we lost our double digit lead in the last 4 minutes. (Qb errors) we beat your Vikings, but you had no qb, (neither did we).
Packers we’ll be able to beat at least once. Since we were last in our division we’ll have the weakest schedule. So I don’t think that I’m delusional actually everything I wrote is quite realistic.
If you think JJ is as good of a passer as Caleb is we won’t see eye to eye. I saw JJ’s combine, it was pedestrian!
He's clearly still immature, it's just a matter of fact at that age. I don't know that anyone really talked about his football intelligence in the draft
Simms should ask for a pay raise since Florio is trying to make him his therapist
McMahon woulda been if he stayed healthy
Funny how the immature ones are the people who think they're doing something by clowning his nail polish lol
Media is so garbage. They threw dirt on Strouds name last year and now Caleb. Always targeting our brothers who are talented and learning and making mistakes every day. Targeted Lamar last season too when he’s a demigod in his city and always shows love and gives back. It’s so annoying to watch
Don't go there, be better.
🐻⬇️
✌️✝️
@@keithk1559nah man it has to be said. Caleb is a great young kid man
@@szn1580 Yeah he seems to be. You seem to be saying they are being "targeted" for a certain reason, maybe that isn't what you meant but if it is I'm just saying don't go there with it, that's all.
🐻⬇️
✌️✝️
@@keithk1559it’s not a race thing but I noticed a pattern for sure
They "target" everybody - like now Harrison Butler.
We won a Lottery with Caleb. And you won the Lottery if your alive to share the moments with all of us. I am grateful for that comment
Wait till he plays
Erik Kramer 1995
lol, we will see!
feels criminal to be this early
It's criminal to not come at all lol
You have the right to remain silent
Do not ever compare Tyson Bagent to Caleb Williams 😮
Wow im depressed after this
We heard all of this stuff when you guys in the media were going through the same motions when you all were slobbering over every single little move made by Justin Fields. I want to see it on the field this time around. You'd think after 40 years of trash, that Bears fans would have a healthier skepticism about the product on the field.
Mike, if you really believe people should just be who they are then you shouldn’t care if they dye their hair or not. Some people feel better about themselves when they dye their hair. Who cares.
Why did he give up the #13?
Respect for Keenan Allen. He's not coming in like the owner of the league.
That will happen in 3 years. Lol.
Da bears 💪🏾🤙🏾
Complete opposite of how Baker Mayfield entered the NFL.
He and JJ have the best team around them. The rest of the QBs are gonna crash and burn
Jim McMahon...? He doesn't count as a franchise QB?
No
He should and also even though he kinda stunk at the end, so does Cutler. I don’t get this narrative but whatever floats their boat
That was a lifetime ago....
This is a new era - JM was good but the identity of the team was defense as a whole.
I said him or Jay Cutler......I thought Cutler was damn good Qb
the punky qb known as mcmahon
Normally I hate listening to Mike Florio, because he is always hating on my Commanders, However, what a fascinating take on the existentialism of mankind. Proving that Florio can be somewhat brilliant when he is not being such a dick
There's an equally compelling argument against fighting aging. Why accept getting old, fat, out of shape? Also easy to tell people not to dye their grays when you only have a few in your 50s, lol. I started getting them in my mid-30s. I have friends who went bald in their 20s. If you can make a change and it makes you feel better, do it. That's not running from who you are. You're not your gray hair, lol.
He floats 1/8 of an inch higher off the ground than anybody else🤦♂️
aint no way he wearing 18 😂
Tall to me in 3 years... BIP.
Did this man say no artificial coloring in sight when his beard is white and his head hair is def not lol
Tyson Bagent didnt do anything last year. He played bottom tier football and happened to win a couple games. Austin Reed is a more intriguing prospect.
The Honeymoon phase is in full swing. It’s rookie camp…long way to go let’s see how we look in Week 8. The guy is talented and there are big expectations but this hype is pointless
It’s nice to hear, but I don’t care. Prove it on the field.
Weirdos that hate Caleb Williams for doing things that aren’t masculine by stupid societal norms will still find a way to see this a negative
He has not played a down and you all have him in the HOF.😅😅 Ridiculous nonsense.
P
I remember all the hype for Trevor Lawrence, and he is just mid.............
🐻⬇️
This guy Mike. Epeic failure if he doesnt start. I guess drafting PH was a failure for KC?
Many, many, many good-great QBs didnt start week 1
As number 1 pick? Every number 1 pick started in the first game!
Fact is, this Team and Media Market will do anything to push a Gay Black QB to the Forefront. Tyson Bagent is the best QB in Chicago
I can tell by his painted fingernails
Cutler was a franchise quarterback, but more of a mediocre franchise
Oh, is that why he wrote stupid words on his hands? Maturity 👍🙄
The guy who cried to his mom after a college game has next level maturity.....
I had the exact same thought.
These guys are clowns.
Being able to express your emotions, especially as a male is a sign of maturity. Kind of sad to see you haven't matured yet yourself with that thought process.
Having a high emotional IQ is a sign of maturity.
@@cheezits3632 Thank your mommy for teaching you that while you sat in your safe zone.
@@goldenbear8250 I'm pretty sure it's you who needs the safe space. I mean here you are whining about some guy because he is slightly different from you and is mature enough to show his emotions. Like why does that offend you so much? Well whatever reason I hope you figure it out and can grow and become a better human
Maybe Brady thinks he is being who he is by dying his hair. wtf does it matter to you whether someone colors their hair or not. Maybe some people don’t want to look old! What does it matter. That’s who Brady is.
I am SO sick of this hype he is the latest QB to be the most talented since Andrew Luck. Haven't we heard this before. Trevor Lawrence had a way better college career than Caleb and we heard the same hype. He has so far been a solid NFL starter. Can we please let this kid play some games before anointing him the next Manning. BTW Manning sucked as a rookie. Im not a Bears fan but this hype is nauseating. Can he play at least one preseason game before drooling over his talent.
You are so bald Mike
JF stinks he was a shhhh leader FACTS CW18 my QB 1
Lol you joking say.. ( he wouldn't be here his dad wouldn't have met his mom)
.. but what if his dad would have met another woman would he still been here? 🤔😂🤣
