Caleb Williams Projections

[Myk]

very possible, better hope you're off on the turnovers

I wouldn't mind it. If you want him to learn what he can do he has to learn what he can't do.

But I don't see the Bears allowing anything close to Bret Favre ratios out of a rookie, either passing TDs or INTs. If he's throwing INTs he's going to be handing the ball off. If we're high up on the scoreboard he'll be taking a break handing the ball off.
I don't see the organization changing from Flus' "200" goal with a rookie to try to be a high risk high reward offensive powerhouse before they have faith in the QB.

24 touchdowns seems about right for him.

The record is 31 by Herbert. Mayfield broke the record previously held by Manning who had 26 tied with Russell Wilson.

If he goes over 24 it will be a huge sign of how great he's going to be.

Trevor Lawrence had 12 TDs in 17 games his rookie year.
Most rookie QBs don't come into the league and light it up.

Trevor Lawrence kinda sucks

10 fumbles or 10 fumbles lost

agreed

I say screw being reasonable.

In part because I absolutely believe in what Ryan Poles has built, think we have the best wide receiver room in the league, and I've really come around on Caleb Williams, and also in part because it's going to be fun to trigger all the people who are mad that I did actually come around on Caleb Williams, if very late.

I'll say

4200 yards 24 TDs 7 INTs and Moore, Allen and Odunze all break 1000 yards receiving.

 

[bamainatlanta]

good point

I believe he fumbled more than Fields did in college. I have to imagine that he’ll be fumbling just the same in the NFL, unfortunately.

A lot depends on the line obviously. I can’t remember how good was the Colts o-line in 2012. But Andrew Luck finished his first season with 4,374 yards and 23 touchdowns.

How did no one every think about the Bear claw before

I did. But mine wasn’t that convincing…

The most important question is whether Caleb is a winner. Clearly, he's super talented and can do what few QBs can. But does he have the ability to tune every thing out and do what needs to be done to win?
'
He certainly has what his predessor did not have: an extremely talented group of receivers and a maturing O line. Poles success will be based on the number of wins and Caleb will be the most important piece. Clearly, Justin Fields was trending in the right direction-- even without all the support Williams has been given. So will he win?

We will see...
