In this episode of The Chicago Bears Podcast, Pat The Designer and Jason McKie examine Caleb Williams’ future as the Bears' franchise quarterback, using data-driven insight and PFF's recent evaluations to break down what's ahead for Chicago's signal-caller.

They start by reviewing Pro Football Focus’ rankings for second‑year QBs, noting how Caleb compares to peers based on productivity and projected trajectory. They then take aim at PFF's assertion that Caleb’s floor is “bust” and the ceiling is capped at Jordan Love, calling the projection overly pessimistic given his talent and supporting cast

Next, Jason and Pat explore what defines a young QB bust, highlighting the importance of decision-making, consistency, and mental toughness—a framework for evaluating Caleb’s development . They finish by identifying the one key trait Williams absolutely must display in 2025—quicker reads in the pocket—and how his offseason work with Ben Johnson has focused squarely on that skill
