Caleb Williams’ QB room is stacked with Bears coaches, but only one voice
It takes a village to develop a quarterback. The Bears spent the last seven weeks trying to ensure Williams didn’t feel he was getting advice from every single villager.
Ryan Poles was surprisingly honest on why he traded for Montez Sweat
The first victory of Matt Eberflus’ offseason came long before the Bears drafted Caleb Williams first overall, signed D’Andre Swift or traded for Keenan Allen. Flying around the country in January, Efberflus, just weeks removed from his own job security being in serious question, reshaped his offensive coaching staff.
First, he hired Shane Waldron, a coordinator with experience that their previous hire was lacking. Then Waldron helped to assemble a unit that included pass-game coordinator Thomas Brown, who had just completed a head coaching interview with the Titans, and quarterbacks coach Kerry Joseph, who had worked under Waldron with the Seahawks.
The three, combined with offensive assistants Ryan Griffin and Robbie Picazo, form Williams’ support system inside the quarterback room at Halas Hall. The Bears fine-tuned exactly what that looks like this offseason.
Tom Brady shares thoughts on Caleb Williams’ ultimate goal
Tom Brady has been making the media rounds lately, and he was asked about Chicago’s rookie quarterback.
Before the Chicago Bears drafted Caleb Williams first overall, he was a guest on The Pivot Podcast, and NFL fans started to get an understanding of who Caleb was as a person. His competitiveness came out in the interview, as did his ultimate goal of winning eight Super Bowls, one more than Tom Brady.
Brady was recently asked about Caleb’s lofty goals and if that was too much to strive for, and he gave an answer fitting of one of the all-time greats.
“Everyone’s gonna find different ways for motivation, and that is certainly a way that Caleb can find it. A lot of people are gonna find different motivations. I found them with the way that I did that were useful to me. I think that there’s a lot that goes into winning one, and you got to set your goals high. I would never tell anyone they can’t achieve anything because if you would’ve told me I couldn’t achieve anything, you know that would’ve been discouraging, and I don’t want people to discourage young athletes one bit.”
