Both head coach Matt Eberflus and offensive coordinator Shane Waldron were fired during the regular season, and even Bears general manager Ryan Poles admitted this offseason that "steps were skipped" in preparing Williams for his rookie season.

Among the number of coaching oversights was that Williams had no one watching film with him. Wickersham detailed in an excerpt of his book that instead, Williams watched film on his own without any guidance on what to watch or what to take away from the tape.

"No one tells me what to watch," Caleb Williams told his dad, per Wickersham. "I just turn it on."

wow. Class organization there.

Ask me my opinion about this in 12 months.
I think Williams has some hitches in his giddyup (in between his ears) that JJM does not have.
My gut tells me that JJM is a better leader, a more natural winner.
Do you recall how whiny Williams was at USC when they kept losing?

The guy has talent, I'm not questioning that. I am guardedly optimistic that JJM has the intangibles that Williams does not possess.
Ask me again in 12 months.

My money is on JJM, I'm extremely confident that we ended up with the right QB...and I'll be the first to admit that I'm being assumptive as hell.

That said, I saw some of Caleb's uneven play in both his last college season and with "da bears". He's an amazing athlete, but as others have said, I'm not impressed with the qualities in his head. For all his gifts and prowess, I'm not convinced that his arrogance and judgement issues are truly fixable.

Not sure where you are getting the arrogance and judgement issues, he is none of that. Great kid, so many false narratives out about him. I have never heard anyone who really knows him say nothing but great things about him on all levels.
