The Bears are in a good spot with quarterback Caleb Williams: He’s playing well enough to win, but isn’t close to hitting his ceiling.
As Williams goes into the game Sunday against the Saints, the improvements he’s making under coach Ben Johnson are evident aesthetically and statistically. He’s grasping how much time he has before the opposing pass rush closes in on him, he’s reading defenses downfield and his passer rating is up 10 points.
It’s a strong start toward developing into a franchise quarterback, and it has to continue in that direction.
