The Chicago Bears took Caleb Williams with the first overall pick in these years draft as they hoped he would be their savior which has not gone according to plan.
After the first 3 weeks of the NFL season, the Bears currently sit with a 1-2 record and have struggled in every game including their win in week 1.
Williams recently spoke to reporters about his struggles to start the season, admitting that he needs to be better and have to be able to execute the plays called at a higher rate than he has been doing.
«He has to call the plays, and I have to go out there and execute,» said Williams. «You know, we have alerts and stuff like that that I can change. Route concepts that I can change depending on whatever the case may be, but he does have to call them and I also have to go out there and execute. So, to be able to go out there and make decisions in split seconds. Hesitation and not being decisive, I think that leads into not being 'comfy.'»
The Bears rookie QB is not use to struggling on the football field as he has always been a deadly threat out there but in his first few games in the NFL, he has realized that this is much harder game than it was in college and high school.
The Bears are set to get pro bowl wide receiver Keenan Allen back in the lineup this weekend which has everyone excited including Williams.
«It's going to be great for our offense,» said Williams. «It's just something else that the defense has to worry about throughout this week and obviously on game day. It's going to be great for us, his special talent of getting open in a phone booth.»
Hopefully this week against the Rams is the turning point for Williams and the Bears as they look to walk away from the game 2-2.
