There were a million times in Bears quarterback Caleb Williams’ rookie season when he would’ve been justified in lighting up former coach Matt Eberflus for mishandling various parts of his NFL onboarding, but he never did.
Williams was just nine games into his career the first time he was asked if he’d lost confidence in his coach, and at the end of that season, long after Eberflus had been fired, he still performed verbal acrobatics when asked if he’d been coached well as a rookie. If he was resentful or exasperated, he kept it to himself.
