Every single one of these records - both rookie and single season (aside from INTs, hopefully) - should be within reach for Williams. Touchdowns would for sure be the hardest. I think he’ll do well right out the gate, and by the end of the year he’ll have had the best season a Bears QB has ever...

I definitely agree with you, I just think that we as Bears fans have been conditioned to think that a high drafted rookie QB struggling to hit 200 ypg is normal, and it just isn’t anymore. He’s going to have ups and downs and bad games. But rookie QBs nowadays regularly have games where they...

Right. I extrapolated their numbers out to a 17 game season to have a uniform comparison. 17 game season didn’t start until 2021, and Burrow, Goff, Mayfield and Young didn’t play full seasons. So while a guy like Burrow only threw for 2,680 yards, it would be disingenuous to say “even the great...

Doesn't need to be a historic year. The typical #1 overall pick QB since Cam - over a 17 game season - is throwing for 4,000 yards and 20 TDs on average. With this roster, he ought to be able to meet that average. If he doesn't it would be a disappointment.

You guys need to quit accepting mediocrity. Cam Newton: 16 games, 4,051 yards, 21 TDs, 17 INTs (extrapolates to 4,304 yards, 22 TDs, 18 INTs in 17 game season) Andrew Luck: 16 games, 4,374 yards, 23 TDs, 18 INTs (extrapolates to 4,647 yards, 24 TDs, 19 INTs in 17 game season) Jameis Winston...

Should have been more clear - I was referring to within the time frame the OP appeared to be comparing: 2000 onward. I also specifically mentioned 2013 as the one year that would be, theoretically the best comp to how this team could potentially look. Marshall was #11 in receiving (Keenan...

One thing is for sure though. The only Bears offense that comes close to how this one potentially could be is 2013-14. DJ Moore: #6 in receiving yards Keenan Allen: #11 in receiving yards Cole Kmet: top 10 in TE receiving Deandre Swift: #5 in rushing yards

Woof. Bobby Wade, David Terrell, and Justin Gage giving me some PTSD, though Marty Booker wasn’t terrible. Grossman really only played with those guys for a couple games though. 2003 he played like 2-3 games IIRC. 2004 he only played like 1.5 games. 2005 he didn’t show up until Atlanta. So I’d...

Including the 1-31 Browns on this list is absolutely idiotic - that’s literally the worst situation a rookie QB has ever entered. Much less the 9th best…. The only one that comes close to as bad would be Stafford in 2009.

Good lord. This is all such obnoxious and exhausting bullshit.

- Apparently this is his dad, Carl, not Caleb. - His people pushed back on the Cowherd stuff, several weeks before the combine, almost immediately. - Loads of top QBs don't throw at the combine - Burrow, Luck, Stafford, Murray, Young, etc. - What would be the point of doing medical tests for...

I'm not a Chris Simms fan, but this is idiotic. A mock draft isn't the same thing as who he thinks will be the best QB.

And the average QB didn't win did he? Average QBs don't win Super Bowls. You're the one claiming you want to win championships and not have a perennial one and done in the playoffs... Nearly every Super Bowl in the last three decades was won by a HOF QB or QB who will eventually be in the HOF...

You may not need an elite QB to compete or make the playoffs, but you nearly always need one to win the Super Bowl. Nearly every Super Bowl in the last 30 years was won by a QB who was a Hall of Famer or likely will be. And not just that, the opposing QB in most cases is a HOF or will be. 2022...

I'm leaning toward drafting Williams over Fields, but the reality is that a QB drafted 1.1 historically just isn't that great. At the end of the day, these dudes just don't really win super bowls. The only QB in the last three decades taken 1.1 to win a super bowl on the team that drafted him...
