Great news, now we just need to get him back and have him healthy for the remainder of the season. Gordon + CJGJ make for an interesting dynamic duo out there. Rarely do you have more than one player who is so versatile.

Yeah the Bears and Packers have 3 common games remaining (DET, 2 against each other), the 4 different games are MINx2, DEN, BAL vs the Bears getting PHI, SF, PIT, and CLE. GB is a very weird team. All 3 of their losses have come when the defense held the opponent to 16 or less. They have turned the ball over in only 4 games, and in those games they are 1-3-1. So it seems like even one error and the entire game is derailed. That actually reminds me of recent Bears teams, the big difference being Flus+Fields vs LaFleur+Love.

So who is a good prospect at #32?

They are also a first-place team. So this is a bigger game than I expected at the start of the season. PIT does what PIT does every year with Tomlin, the most consistent Head Coach in this era. The fact that he has never had a losing record in 19 years is wild. Like Andy Reid has had 3 losing seasons a 4-win, 5-win, and a 6-win season. John Harbaugh has one. Belichick had 8.

Oh lol, yeah. Injury was always going to be an issue with Daniels, and now had upper and lower body injuries. Penix also looks to be out for the year with his 17th knee injury.

Watching the All-22, when you think Caleb is throwing slightly behind a guy, he is, but not because he is throwing late or it is a bad throw, he is throwing away from a defender. On a good number of throws if he leads the receiver like normal, that dude is ending up in a body bag.

"Attempted seven total passes from under center" is crazy. I didn't know it was that low. I would be curious to know how many he did in 2024. Either way, I am sure some of the accuracy and timing issues are related to that, which are all fixable issues with more reps. That is very promising.

Yeah, his arm got bent backwards like Gumby unfortunately. Arms should not bend that way. Hopefully WAS can protect him better and he learns how to slide without using his arm to brace him.

24% swing in playoff odds in this game. Win and it is up to 69% (Yeah Baby), and a loss drops it to 45%. GB and DET still have better odds.

I don't think everyone is sold on him, and that's ok. I just think he is a lot closer to figuring it out than some may think. Not only him, but the entire team has not played a full clean game yet. To be 7-3 and that be the case really makes this a dangerous team going forward.

Bears Receivers have been hit with the drop bug, I believe they have 17 drops now. If half of those were caught, that would bump Caleb's Comp% to 62%, much closer to his 2024 number, but with an ADOT over 0.5 yards farther.

As Bears fan, we all should be enjoying this ride. No QB is perfect halfway thru their 2nd season in the league. Williams biggest issue from last year was taking too many sacks, and he has not only improved on that exponentially, he actually has become this magician avoiding sacks. So not only is he not taking unnecessary ones now, he is avoiding almost sure things. It is still Year 1 in a new offense that is new for all players. They changed his stance, they have him playing under center and with play action more than he ever has in his life. Now it is the time to work on ball placement and accuracy. Once he improves there, he will be a top 10 QB until he retires.

That was ALL he did though, he was on the winning team. Just like Stetson Bennett, Georgia was 29-1 the last two years, and he actually threw for 4K passing yards. The biggest red flag on McCarthy was his inexperience. That reminded me of Trey Lance. There are so few QBs that work out when they have limited college experience. McCarthy can still improve but I don't know if he will even get to a Mac Jones level.

Line has slid to CHI -3, I am sure it will move a little more once it is official on Rodgers. They are saying 50/50 right now lol.

I am sure their fanbase is split, some will want to give him more time. Others are probably done with him. He did nothing in college to warrant being a first rounder. Williams, Daniels, and Nix all had the pedigrees. Maye had a shorter period of success but that plus his stature made him at least enticing. Everyone knew Penix wouldn't last with 50-year-old knees.
