When was the last time a Bears QB had three consecutive 100+ passer rating games? Checked Trubs and Fields game logs and they never did it in their 7 combined years here, so it's at least since the Cutler/McCown era.

He's also surpassed their rookie TD pass numbers now. Both had 7 TDs in 12 games.

C.W had a great game but I'd like to hear his explanation on the Moore walk in TD misfire. That was as bad a throw as I've seen all season.
What the hell is there to explain? It was an off target throw. Maybe tried to guide it in. I'll take that kind of pick every time over a bad decision.

If the decision was to guide it in, that in fact, is a bad decision. At least try to make sense next time.

I'm not ragging on the kid. He played great. Should have had 5 TDs.to go along with a perfect passer rating.

I slept. Watched highlights on NFL. Read the IGT.

Top take away is a lot of Bears fans need mood stabilizers.
I agree fully. you're a good citizen.

I am still concerned about Caleb not being capable of completing passes to wide open WRs running down the sideline.

Our defensive secondary is talented and deep.

The O-Line is coming along. Pretty good game by them today.

It's concerning but I think the deep stuff will come with time. He's a rookie and there is so much to learn. It's clear that he is not overwhelmed by the position and has a great grasp of the offense. There are so many positives.

Only Caleb Williams was given DJ Moore, Rome, Kennan, Swift, and Kent.

We just finished week 6. He has missed every single deep pass to wide open WRs running down the sideline. It’s a huge concern.

He hit the deep stuff in college, I do believe that will come. When you look at him in college on the successful deep balls he was letting it rip with confidence. So far in the pros he looks tentative, the throw today looked like he tried to guide it. Maybe because he threw a few of those long in earlier games and now is a bit tentative letting it rip? All he needs is to hit a few and I think it will sort itself out, history says he is good at the deep ball. He has made some fantastic mid range throws these last few games and the touchdown throws he has made have been phenomenal. He is making throws we have not seen from our QB’s over many previous seasons.

It's not, though. Not this early.

I hate the big game hunting. When he's not in that mode he's practically unstoppable.

However it should be clear to anyone with eyes and 1 functioning brain cell we have a bona fide nfl franchise qb.

I love his aggressiveness, especially considering those WRs have been wide open deep down the sideline multiple times this season. He simply can’t hit them for some reason, though.
