Caleb Williams is coming into his rookie season, and some people are making the erroneous claim that he will lead the Chicago Bears to the NFC title game.
However, when it comes to the Bears front office, they are much more realistic about what Williams is set to become. In fact, in a new report, General Manager Ryan Poles laid out the expectations being placed on Williams. Essentially, they just want him to develop at a natural pace while showcasing that he can use the weapons around him.
«It's really just to maximize his ability," Poles said. "I think I want to see just leaning on the talent around him as well. I think it's got to be comforting to know you don't have to do everything on your own, which makes it a pretty good situation for a young quarterback. There's going to be adversity, and I just want to see him lean on all of us to get through those moments, and then when you're clicking and in the zone that those high moments are high and we just continue to learn and continue to get better every single week and every single day."
This is a much healthier way to go about things than believing he will make a deep playoff run. However, fans and analysts love themselves some instant gratification. Only time will tell whether or not Williams is able to reach new heights this season.
