Yall don’t understand what 300+ losses over the span of 3 years will do to you’re mental 😭 we’re not WS bound just yet but i just enjoy seeing these play hard and most importantly having fun while doing it #whitesox
@LostHebrew_Dre i know i should stop it’s just every time fields highlights hit the TL it just bothers me how we as an organization handled him and how awful the roster was in that time. it’s just one of my biggest gripes about the NFL is teams destroying the careers of young promising talent.
6 minutes of highlights of fields throwing from the pocket?!?! what is this i thought he was a running back??? funny thing is out of all his offensive teammates from his time in chicago only dj, mooney, and wright are the only ones left in the league.
Chicago Bears: The Deep Ball Façade
As a Chicago Bears truther, I gotta keep it 💯
There are many Bears fans posting “Amazing” out of the pocket deep ball highlights of Caleb Williams
Obviously, we don’t see those kinds of throws everyday. It’s insane!! But deep ball playmaking isn’t new to Chicago. Nor is it the focal point of Ben Johnson’s offense. If the Bears are going to be great, we have to become more efficient from the pocket. Pass percentage must go up, time in pocket must come down.
Living outside the pocket will hinder our ability to be efficient and to win a Super Bowl
#1 Deep Ball was always there
Justin Fields in 2023 had one of the most efficient deep balls in the league. Not only that, the majority of his deep balls came from the pocket which is what you want from your QB. As good as the Bears were as a whole last year, the deep ball was far more efficient in 2023.
But living on the deep ball and living out the pocket comes with limitations.
We have to focus on the fundamentals
#2 Ben Johnson is the catalyst
Similar to 2023, Bears offense in 2024 had explosive plays followed by inconsistent offense and inept situational football by the head coach
Poor offensive line, poor offensive scheme, and inept head coach were the core issues.
Ryan Poles thought QB was the main issue and then 2024 happened. We learned quick that it takes more than a talented QB to win football games.
Ben Johnson has alleviated all of those concerns. He has made Bears offensive line the focal point! His scheme has been top of the league since he became OC in Detroit. And his situational football awareness far superior than Eberflus.
Bears fans must recognize that Ben Johnson is the catalyst of the Bears offensive turnaround, and team success. Now give him what he needs!
He wants 3 tight ends? Give it to him
He wants more Luther Burden? Give it to him
He wants more efficiency out of his QB? Let’s make that the focal point..
#3 Ben Johnson needs a point guard at QB
Efficiency in the pocket, time to throw, and passing EPA are far more important to Ben Johnson’s offense than out of pocket deep balls. We need Caleb to be that killer still, but it’s the fundamentals that will allow Bears to take the next step.
This offense doesn’t need a Michael Jordan at QB. Ben Johnson would much rather have an Isiah Thomas at QB because this offense has enough Bad Boys to get the job done.
Feed the WRs! Get the ball out of your hands quicker! Allow deep ball to be the counter punch of the offense.
#4 It’s all there..
The pre-snap awareness, post snap awareness, efficiency from pocket, and pass velocity all scream franchise QB.
When you look at Caleb Williams in the pocket on short to intermediate passes, it looks effortless.
The ball leaves his hand lightning quick, it’s placed where it’s supposed to be, and WR is able to make a play after the catch.
We have to see more of this and it starts now.
CW has to trust Ben Johnson’s offense and his WRs more.
Conclusion:
If we wanted a QB to scramble and throw deep balls, Justin Fields would still be a Chicago Bear
What makes Caleb unique, is that he can be a hunter down the field but also has the upside to be a Drew Brees type of QB in the pocket.
I rather see more clips of Caleb playing in rhythm and in the pocket , than deep bombs out the pocket.
There will be struggles, but that’s ok. I much rather see our QB struggle making the right throws in OTAs than masking it with his gift as an out the pocket thrower.
The Bears are in the NFC Championship if Caleb throws the ball to the flat to pick up a new set of downs instead of being baited to throw the corner route to DJ…
@DanClarkSports there was a group of dudes heckling him too during this exact moment but he of course decided to say something to the lady that’s what i call charmin ultra soft 🤣🤣
@Dzikhead I was at this game lol we went in and played spoiler crushing playoff hopes…I had an old fart heckling the whole game telling me the sox are poverty and on the way out a cubs torta got up in my face told me “fuck you bitch cubs are better”then they wonder why they’re disliked 🤣
