I’m just gonna talk about the guy who replaced Joseph Fields.

That’s Caleb Williams.

We’ve seen top pick quarterbacks come in and falter a little bit.

I’m not saying that he’s gonna be Bryce Young because Bryce Young was set up in such a bad situation.

Caleb is set up in such a good situation, but we see number one picks kind of stumble all the time.

I don’t think Caleb’s gonna be that guy but Bears fans have been waiting so long for a decent quarterback.

He’s already one of those polarizing guys.

So I’m just interested in the whole Kayla Williams experience.

I think it’s gonna be fascinating.

Yeah, I don’t, I don’t, uh the one thing I will say about Caleb in, in Chicago, like I, I look at Anthony Richardson in Indianapolis, right?
