Yeah but he got head from the fine ass chick

He looked like a guy who's won on talent in the past.

Happens to every position out there; guys who used to beat up on mediocre opponents in college and now suddenly the worst team they'll play is full of guys that are better than anyone they've played in the past.

He tried to play the same way he played at USC and just didn't have the raw talent advantage he thought he did.

Gonna be a learning curve for him. Still a fair amount of talent but with his...uh...mercurial personality, is he willing to put in the work? Because that's what would allow him to use his talent.

He may have something more akin to a Josh Allen learning curve than the Mahomes curve. It took Allen until his 3rd season to look like a premier player.

May just take the Bears a little longer to turn the corner than they'd hoped.

He completed less than half his passes in the pre-season.

He wasn't exactly sharp then either.

Fair enough, but he flashed. I didn't see him flash at all yesterday.

I don't know if the whole squad is "loaded", but they have a very good defense, a ton of weapons, and a solid OL. There's really no excuses in terms of situation.

Well Allen is 32 and is getting acclimated to a new team. Odunze is a rook himself.

If Williams hasn’t improved by week 18 then I’d say there’s cause for concern.. but a week 1 performance? I wouldn’t be too worried. Weird shit happens week 1 even to veterans.

93 passing yards with those weapons is what happens when a guy thought he put in the work, but really didn't.

He must still be in the "learning the offense phase" and not even close to the "reading the defense phase".

Long way to go, but im rooting for his failure.

Gayleb is gonna have a lot more of those showings unless he realizes the games are in fact the hard part of the NFL.

People always want to go, "it's one game, it's one game! It's just his first season, he's still growing! It's just his second season, he's still growing"

I get it, people wanna stay objective. And yeah, one game is premature to use as a predicator for a career...

But i will say this, excellence usually shows itself pretty damn early in the process. If you don't see it early, it doesn't mean a player wont be good.

But GREAT? GREAT players usually show up on scene right away and then grow and maintain greatness from there.

Mahomes first game went a little better.LMAO

After yesterday I think going forward fans should know it's time to panic when a team sends out a celebratory announcement that their rookie QB was voted a team captain prior to Game 1.

I’m a believer in his play making ability and that he can be good assuming he puts in at least average off field work. But if he was the 6th QB picked like Nix, after that performance people would be getting ready to write him off. You can’t look that bad in all phases and be given the benefit of the doubt with regards to preparation and just chalking it up to first start nerves. He definitely was not nearly as ready as he thought.

When you're a generational QB prospect that goes to as good of a situation as any #1 overall pick could ever dream of, expectations are going to be REALLY high. He looked more like Bryce Young yesterday...

Mahomes has always been Mahomes from his first game on.. Williams will never be Mahomes.. Patrick is a unicorn that will never be duplicated..

Again, I think Allen is the comp.

Josh Allen had two or 3 games his rookie year that were as bad as what Williams did last weekend.

And Allen was another guy who simply relied on being bigger and stronger and faster than everyone he played against.

And frankly, Allen looked like hell for TWO seasons before he looked like a franchise guy. And he didn't really show much in the way of incremental or gradual improvement.

He sucked. For years. Then he didn't.

It's rare but it's the best straw for the Bears to grasp for.

Now the Broncos? They're ****ed. Because Nix DIDN'T rely on out-talenting anyone in college. He was supposed to be smart and polished. Turns out he's an idiot, he's old AND he's lacking in talent.
