The Chicago Bears faced a challenging season, culminating in a 10-game losing streak that left rookie quarterback Caleb Williams under immense pressure. Following the firing of offensive coordinator Shane Waldron, Williams took accountability for the team’s struggles, acknowledging the impact his performance had on the organization. Despite a record-setting rookie year with 3,541 passing yards and 20 touchdowns, he was also heavily sacked, raising concerns about his development.
As the Bears search for a new coach, the focus remains on nurturing Williams' potential. His tumultuous rookie season has drawn comparisons to legends like Troy Aikman and Peyton Manning, with the hope that the right leadership can help him flourish in the NFL. General manager Ryan Poles emphasized the need for a coach who can challenge Williams while fostering his growth.
