Good evening @grok, one QB doesn’t belong here and we all know who… Can you turn that QB into the sleezy car salesman that he is?

@THol2025 @PolymarketBlitz @grok Only one of these QBs hasn't won his division.

@PolymarketBlitz @grok Mate only one of these QBs has never taken him team to a conference championship game.

@RemanVerus @Knuckles_ZN @Lions2026 @Schultz_Report @AaronLemingNFL In that scenario they would receive comp picks. They either are able to block the move (which they may not do) or they are given two comp 3rds.

@Knuckles_ZN @Lions2026 @Schultz_Report @AaronLemingNFL It would still be a promotion and the Bears would be unable to block it

Sources: The #Falcons have requested to interview #Bears assistant GM Ian Cunningham for their open GM job. Cunningham interviewed for the President job, which went to Matt Ryan, but is a strong candidate for the GM position.

@bgrisakTST 40 degrees is not 0 degrees with wind chill. 40 is hoodie and shorts weather in Chicago.

Matthew Stafford's cold weather record is such an overblown narrative at this point. Using PFR box score data, he's 7-11 in games under 40 degrees. He's 4-1 against the Bears in such games. Stafford has been favored 8 times and is 5-3. Has had a QB rtg 100+ 7x and is 5-2.

@Workaholic5311 @FunkyDncOnion @NFLonCBS How? I'm right.

@ConorMurphy52 @FunkyDncOnion @NFLonCBS W ragebait

Ruling on the field is FIRST DOWN

@Workaholic5311 @FunkyDncOnion @NFLonCBS Incorrect

@ConorMurphy52 @FunkyDncOnion @NFLonCBS Yes in the nfl

@FunkyDncOnion @NFLonCBS Not in the NFL

@NFLonCBS UH ball spot is where the slide STARTS

@LukeOGrady To be fair, if Dalman doesn't try to keep himself from falling forward due to jumping he probably doesn't miss-snap the ball in the first place.

Underrated moment from last night 4th & 3, game on the line, and Drew Dalman snaps the ball over Caleb's head. Except he doesnt because the play is blown dead for a false start If that play goes off, the #Bears season is over. Instead, Caleb Williams does this on the next play

@StegNCheese That's not the ball. They also replay every scoring play so it was definitely reviewed and confirmed.

They didnt even do replay review. Ball didnt survive the ground. Ive got one better

#DaBears #FlyEaglesFly

@StegNCheese @BriskerSzn Doesn't Watt only rush from the left side. He'd be up against Darnell Wright the entire game.

@BriskerSzn I mean no offense but this isnt an all world OT youre putting out there.

He’s going to get a scripted sack in the 4th quarter isn’t he

@Royaltyboxing19 @79illwill Not a deep ball and Caleb literally had a tight window completion to Rome last game very similar to this.

@79illwill Brother the reason he doesn’t throw picks is because he’s not throwing deep moline times like love is every game, you aren’t seeing Caleb make this play ever

Prime Cutler threw more picks in a single game than Caleb threw his entire rookie year “LMAO”

@Kirsten_Tanis1 @MarkovWalker You lose the down in the event of a sack or an intentional grounding. The only time it matters is if you are sacked for less than 10 yards (grounding is automatic 10+).

@MarkovWalker It literally is You end up losing about the same yardage as a sack. Sacks don’t also include an extra loss of down. Intentional grounding does. So it’s worse. Plus they’ve been calling it more as a point of emphasis this season.

#Bears 4-3 record may be who they are through 7 games. Yet so is how they’ve won/lost & vs. whom. Outside of DAL game against then NFL-worst pass coverage, passing offense hasn’t looked consistent nor good enough. Bears can’t rely only on rushing game vs better DLs. They can’t rely on 3-4 defensive takeaways every single week, especially with backups of backups starting in secondary. They can’t rely on blocked FGs on final play to pull a rabbit out of a hat. Kudos to Bears that they found ways to win vs bad or banged up teams before today. Close games they would have blown in 2024. And while today the Bears severely injured defense wasn’t good especially in pass coverage ( & losing 2 DL in game didn’t help pass rush), they still gave offense chances holding Ravens to FGs on multiple drives. They kept it close into the 4th quarter until Caleb threw INT. Bottom line, outside of DAL game, Caleb is not the primary reason they have won 4 games. In the three losses, he is absolutely part of why they lost. He’s made some progress this season in areas like P2S & moving chains between 25 to 25. Continual struggles with offensive penalties & a rookie LT with short arms on a big learning curve doesn’t help. But Caleb is making too many mistakes & not rising up & leading team to score TDs and come through often enough in the most critical moments. Even on things like multiple intentional groundings which is worse than just taking the sack. Or on his long scamper sliding in bounds vs getting a few less yards out of bounds to stop clock & save timeout. Small situational errors that add up to stall drives. Ben is obviously trusting him less with some of his play calls. Caleb isn’t consistently reliable justifying Ben’s conservatism. That’s the cycle we are in. One of the soundbites that’s irritated me most in Caleb’s recent pressers when he hasn’t played well is when he bridges to the “we need to play our best ball in December” line. (I don’t know yet if he said it in Ravens’ loss postgame presser as I’ve been writing this) I completely get Ben’s messaging why he pounds that home as a mantra to keep guys focused on getting better every single week & don’t get complacent & keep grinding to improve. But the way Caleb brings it up almost sounds like an excuse for why he’s not playing better. Like he’s holding back & certain in the belief that he will peak then like it’s a forgone conclusion I want to say, No Caleb. Stop with that crutch & letting yourself off the hook. Show some urgency & fire around getting better NOW. Be harder on yourself & more accountable. Because if you wait to play *your* best ball in December, this team won’t be in position to have December ball matter I’ve preached patience around Caleb’s progress and in general still feel that way, but he’s got to start showing more ups along with the downs. It’s frustrating and a bit concerning that the ups are too few and far between His progress right now feels a lot like a half step forward, three-quarters of a step back too many weeks He’s also a former #1 overall pick who just got outplayed by Snoop who was a dawg today. Granted it was vs a porous secondary, but still The Ravens defense hasn’t been good this year. This was a winnable game if Caleb played well Let’s hope he & the team take this loss with the gravitas they need to & rebound like they did after the Lions blowout They have some winnable games coming up. They need to elevate & win those if they want to be in the WC hunt Given how team is playing & injuries piling up, I’m also not sure it’s wise for Poles to do a big move to acquire talent at deadline. This team is in Ben’s first year and while they want to win now, they are still building. While Caleb is improving, the trajectory is flatter than we’d like. I’d rather not trade away too much draft capital for short term needs They haven’t earned the investment imo

It has to be an absolute trip being a Brit trying to learn American football and having to witness the Jets absolutely butcher that final sequence of the first half. I've seen middle school teams with more organization and situational awareness.

@FantasyKash @Kirsten_Tanis1 He's only had 1 sack in the last two games. He's been much better in that area.

@Kirsten_Tanis1 Agree with all of this the accuracy still needs work but he’s being much smarter about avoiding sacks via throwaways and / or getting to his checkdown

Caleb has a 42.7% success rate on early downs (32nd / 36) I think penalties and Swift are bigger factors for the long distances on 3rd down, but he bears some of the responsibility too

@MikeJCzapla @Chicago_NFL It's John Harbaugh and that still has nothing to do with resource allocation. You can have a complimentary pass + run game. The bears aren't doomed to one or the other.

@ConorMurphy52 @Chicago_NFL We don't have any roots, we don't have a head coach that's been around a long time. You can't just pretend that we have Jim harbaugh and Lamar jackson, when we clearly don't.

Without first and second downs, and their weaknesses in the run game, the Chicago Bears are playing some really good football. Great signs moving forward. #DaBears

@MikeJCzapla @Chicago_NFL There are teams that are good in both the run & pass game (Bills, Ravens). They aren't mutually exclusive. What a casual take.

If that were true, then why did the whole time we had to run game where we never able to have a passing game? You don't seem to realize that how you spend your money is important. Also draft capital is very important too. Something out gm doesn't really realize, I guess our fans definitely don't.

@MikeJCzapla @Chicago_NFL What does that even mean? If anything the pass game should improve with a stable run game.

@Chicago_NFL What are you talking about lol? Playing good football requires all of that. When they go to fix the run game there's a chance the pass game will take a hit.

@CHSN_Bears Only right answer 1. Caleb 2. Maye 3. Daniels -Gap- 4.Nix -Gap- 5. MPJ 6. JJ

How would you rank the QBs taken in the 2024 NFL Draft through Week 4? 👀

@BrianHe24473310 @Johnathan_Wood1 I think the biggest change is that there is an actual pocket that Caleb can trust and step up into. Last year the interior was a wreck and this year they aren't.

@Johnathan_Wood1 Yes...coaching matters, but his pocket presence is also better..he's not bailing all the time...staying in it and reading the field. Coaching is part of it, but seeing the game better (slower, maybe?) also has to factor in.

Week 4 update: Caleb was pressured on 12 dropbacks and sacked once. On the season, Caleb has been sacked on 5.1% of dropbacks (NFL average 6.6%) and 13.7% of his pressured dropbacks (NFL average around 18%). Huge growth here, and it's awesome to see.
