adam Posted September 15 Author Report Share Posted September 15 In Week 2, Fields had 1.1 QBR, one of the lowest scores I have seen. 3-11, 27.3%, 27 yds, and a fumble lost before leaving the game with a concussion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bears4Ever_34 Posted September 15 Report Share Posted September 15 Super small sample size, but more numbers continue to show he's getting better. They scored 17 points against MIN (taking away the pick 6) and 21 against the Lions. They had 317 total yards against MIN, and 339 against the Lions. Penalties continue to kill this team, but if they can ever clean that up, there are signs of hope with this offense. Next week will be a big test. DAL's defense is horrible. If the Bears don't put up big numbers against them, It will be concerning. If they do, it will give some validity to the idea that they are improving.

Pixote Posted September 16 Report Share Posted September 16 Thanks, Adam. I love this thread and hope you continue comparing the 2nd-year QBs as the season advances. It will be interesting to see the progress, or regression, of each of them throughout the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam Posted Monday at 12:38 AM Author Report Share Posted Monday at 12:38 AM Week 3 - Williams - 86.6 QBR - 298 yds, 4 TD, 0 INT, 0 sacks, and 12 rushing yds. 310 Total Yards. Won. / Season QBR: 67.0 Maye - 59.5 QBR - 268 yds. 2 TD, 1 INT, 5 sacks, and 45 rushing yds and 1 Fumble. 333 Total Yards. Lost. / Season QBR: 57.3 Nix - 38.5 QBR - 153 yds, 1 TD, 0 INT, 2 sacks, and 33 rushing yds. 186 Total Yards. Lost. / Season QBR: 41.6 Penix - 12.4 QBR - 172 yds, 0 TD, 2 INT, 0 sacks, and 9 rushing yds. 181 Total Yards. Lost. / Season QBR: 47.7 Daniels - DNP / Season QBR: 38.9 McCarthy - DNP / Season QBR: 20.5 (Last in NFL) 3 straight games for Williams with improvement to Comp%, Y/A, TD, and QB Rating. ------- Week 1 > 2 > 3 Comp% - 60% > 63.3% > 67.9% Y/A - 6.0 > 6.9 > 10.6 Pass TD - 1 > 2 > 4 QB Rating - 86.6 > 91.9 > 142.6 Don't look now, Williams is on pace for 4,051 passing yards, 40 Passing TD, 6 INT. He would have 3,812 thru 16 games. So he even has a shot to break Kramer's team record of 3,838 in the same number of games, and also hit 4K in the same year. Very promising. Now we need to stack weeks like this. Over 20 games, the top 3 QBs in the 2024 class, TD/INT: Nix 34 TD, 15 INT Daniels 28 TD, 9 INT Williams 27 TD, 7 INT Nix only has 46 more passing yards than Williams, who are now 1-2 in Passing Yards.

Bears4Ever_34 Posted Monday at 01:25 AM Report Share Posted Monday at 01:25 AM ESPN has him at 67.2 QBR on the season now. It's only been 3 games, but he's clearly been the best QB of his class to start the season. I still don't think Drake Maye is any good. He's benefited from a cakewalk schedule against soft defenses in these first few games, yet New England is still 1-2 with Caleb out performing him.

Yeah in 1 or 2 more games, Williams will have the best numbers for their careers of every QB in his class outside of Daniels rushing numbers. He already has the best Year 2 numbers by a wide margin.

adam Posted 17 hours ago Author Report Share Posted 17 hours ago Caleb is excelling in situational football. 3rd Downs, 123.7 Passer Rating, Red Zone, 120.5 Passer Rating, trailing with 4 mins to go, 134.2 Passer Rating. Right now he needs to improve on 2nd Down, 57.5 Passer Rating (1 INT), and in the 3rd Quarter, 68.4 Passer Rating, but that's about it. Another solid performance against LVR and I think some of these numbers will level out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stinger226 Posted 3 hours ago Report Share Posted 3 hours ago This last game and being O NFC player of the week is at least showing signs he could be great. Not there yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not there yet. One thing for me that is promising is that it didn't look difficult. Caleb and by extension Ben made everything look easy. We have been asking for a scheme that got receivers open, and we are finally seeing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They interviewed Caleb yesterday and asked him about winning player of the week. His response, "cool". When asked to expound upon it, "it's Wednesday and we're preparing for the Raiders". I couldn't love that more! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
