There was some official hope that the Chicago Bears might not less than compete for a playoff spot this season after drafting quarterback Caleb Williams and large receiver Rome Odunze and buying and selling for star wideout Keenan Allen throughout the offseason.
However the Bears are simply 2-2, and Williams, the No. 1 choose in April, has been underwhelming up to now this season.
Some are questioning in the event that they made a mistake by not going with Jayden Daniels, the QB who went to the Washington Commanders at No. 2 and has been very spectacular, as an alternative of Williams.
Former NFL star Keyshawn Johnson stated on Fox Sports activities 1’s “Communicate” that whereas the Bears don’t remorse drafting Williams over Daniels, he stated they remorse not hiring Kilff Kingsbury as their offensive coordinator.
Johnson’s rationale is that Kingsbury is aware of what to do with a signal-caller who has the particular expertise Williams has.
Kingsbury, who’s now the Commanders’ offensive coordinator, was the Arizona Cardinals’ head coach for 4 seasons, which gave him an opportunity to work with QB Kyler Murray.
Murray is undersized, however he’s one of many league’s higher dual-threat quarterbacks, and whereas on the College of Southern California, Williams confirmed some dual-threat capability by operating for 21 touchdowns in his earlier two seasons.
In 4 video games this 12 months, he has 79 yards on 16 dashing makes an attempt, however he has thrown 4 interceptions and dedicated three fumbles towards simply three landing passes.
Chicago could have an excellent likelihood to get on observe after they face the Carolina Panthers and Jacksonville Jaguars the following two weeks earlier than they’ve their bye in Week 7.
