We just went into the Vikings stadium and beat them.  I have to keep repeating that to myself because it seems surreal.  Especially when Tyrique went out.  I’m being captain obvious here but the difference between week one and this win is the coaching.  As bad as it feels at times the floor for this team is just at a higher level.  When they will put it all together I don’t know. It might be next year.  

I believe Caleb has a mental hurdle to get over with other QBs in his draft class.  Against Daniel’s and Wash he was sailing passes high early on.   Today again it’s the same thing.  Pressure to prove he was deserving of the #1 overall pick seems to be real with him.

I think you are speaking to his need to be the hero, ego drives him. In college they called it hero ball. If you look at him at the end of the game, he seemed mad and not excited when Santos won the game. At this point in the season when his inaccuracy should be getting better, a lot of misses. He had some drops but on several of those it looks like he threw fast balls when he should have thrown change ups.

Last week we won because of Caleb, this week he was just along for the ride. He has some outstanding traits but if he doesnt start being more consistent all of those great traits will not matter. He's not going anywhere anytime soon but at what point does BJ quit trusting him? Half way into the season next year is my guess.

As long as he is showing a work ethic and growth, next year is off the table.  Regardless of stats, he made winning plays yesterday.  No turnovers, rushing for first downs and avoiding sacks isn't pretty, but it's winning football.  All of those blitzes can make a young QBs head spin. 

I agree on the piss missiles, though.  He needs to lay off on those heaters.  Favre had to do the same thing.  His brain will slow down as he sees it more.

So based on the congunkulator, the most logical outcome is Bears 23-20.

The Congunkulator was pretty close, and predicted wins the last two weeks.
