Year 2 QB QBR Tracker
Caleb was mic’d up last game. When he barely missed Rome on a deep route you hear them talking afterwards about if Rome was taking it upfield or flattening out. There are still subtleties to work out between QB and WRs but each week it gets better.

Year 2 QB QBR Tracker
You can pretty much grab any film review of the last few games and see about half of Williams throws are being released before receivers make their break. He’s also moving safeties and LBs intentionally with his eyes knowing where he really wants to throw. Watch the TD to Rome where he’s all alone in the end zone. See the subtle fake to the outside route that gets both defenders to bite leaving Rome alone. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=XyeHR_Du4Y4&pp=ygUdY2FsZWIgd2lsbGlhbXMgZmlsbSBicmVha2Rvd24%3D

I don’t remember Can ever throwing with the same kind of anticipation.

Theo has his issues but he does not get beat early and give up a free run at the QB like Braxton used to do on occasion. Quicker feet easier to at least recover and lean on a guy which gives Caleb a chance to do his pocket dance thing.

For those of us old enough to remember, 4th quarter come-back wins was Brady's calling card early in his career...before he was Tom Terrific.

Caleb is way ahead of Brady and Rodgers midway through their second seasons.

Just saw a headline pop up on some news feed stating analyst says Broncos should move on from Bo Nix. I don't read these things since details don't matter to me but the narrative on him is clearly starting to change.

The strength and power Austin Booker added in his first NFL offseason is legit. With more snaps he’s going to be a good player for us.

1.5 seasons to become a top 10 QB. That’s pretty good.

I don’t know how much of a good thing CJ has been in coverage. There were a lot of blown coverage his first game and quite a few last game. Making splash plays is good. Giving them up is bad. Hopefully we’ll see more consistency in the next game.

This time around we've got the running game that we didn't have in week 1. It will help a lot when Minn presses the LOS.

To be fair the Giants LT kept blocking inside giving CJ a free run to the QB. You could say those sacks belong more to the DC if that was something seen on film study. Still CJ has to make the play that's put before him and he did.

It’s nothing more than a law of averages. In that context it is a useful metric to compare teams once there are enough data points. Or against historical averages. Nobody is watching sports because they want to see average plays.

Somebody get me a doctor! Today Caleb was an absolute stud. At one point in the game it appeared Darnell Wright just punched with one arm and completely pancaked a pass rusher. I'll wait for the film studies to see.

Could just be related to how much he steps forward as he throws. A shorter step and your body tends to rise up as you throw leading to a higher pass. A longer setup flattens or the arc or the arm leading to a bit of an under throw. Ben Johnson made him change his footwork this year so imaybe we shouldn’t be surprised there is some inconsistency.

I also couldn't embed the video so just posted the link. It is interesting to listen to former Oline talk about what they see in the game. As good as Darnell Wright's block was even better was watching Benedet move a DB right off the field. What made me laugh was watching the trailing officials reaction to it which starts at this screenshot.

Who Won't be Here Next Season
I think he stays but on a lesser deal than he hopes to get. Other teams will also shy away from his concussion history so I don't expect him to have a big market. I wouldn't even be surprised to see 1 yr deal.

Bears trade for DE Joe Tryon-Shoyinka (CLE) and a 7th for a 6th
I watched all 3 of his highlights. He’s a poor man’s version of Dayo and Dayo certainly made us poorer.

The Ben Johnson Effect
Yes and we finally have a coach and a QB who can take advantage of it. For countless years the worst defenses had their best game against the Bears.

I can’t fathom how many decades it’s been since anyone said the Bears Oline like dominant.

The Ben Johnson Effect
When Tom Brady put up 50pts against our bottom 5 defense years ago he was heralded as: Summary of Key Games 2014 Game: Brady had an outstanding performance, throwing five touchdown passes and leading the Patriots to a dominant victory over the Bears. This game showcased his precision and ability to execute plays effectively.

I never thought I’d say this but I really hope Dom Rob gets well quickly.

Details later a lot more in the red zone. I highly doubt it’s all on Caleb with everyone learning a new offense.
