Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams went through it all during his rookie season in 2024.
The Bears finished with a 5-12 record, which saw their franchise quarterback get sacked an NFL-high 68 times and had 10 fumbles with six interceptions on the year. Williams' development suffered as he had three different play callers on offense and saw his head coach, Matt Eberflus, get fired after the disastrous clock management in the Thanksgiving Day game.
Plenty of criticism was thrown the Bears' way for how they handled Williams in his first year. Apparently, the biggest critic of them comes from a man who knows all too well what a quarterback needs in the NFL to be successful.
