There have been 39 quarterbacks to start a game for the Chicago Bears in my lifetime. None of them have had the potential that No. 40 does.
Caleb Williams has a chance to revive a deflated fan base and usher in a new era of Bears football.

49ers tackle Mike McGlinchey allowed two sacks on 275 pass blocking snaps last season.
Bears rookie Dominique Robinson absolutely dusted him on one of his first regular season NFL snaps en route to a one-handed sack. What a friggin' play by the fifth-rounder.

What's incredibly impressive about this Bulls team and an excellent reason to stop comparing them to past teams; Zach LaVine has four points on 2-of-10 shooting, but the Bulls are up by 11 at the half, and it really feels like a more significant margin than that.

A segment of Bears fans are terrified of starting over at QB because they believe that you have to “develop” a QB.
You don’t develop a QB into a franchise QB. You pick the right one.
If you’re scared of anything, be scared of the Bears ability to evaluate, not develop QBs.

This performance today was masterful. Better than his no-hitter.

Say what you will about Dylan Strome, the player, but Dylan Strome, the person, has handled a pretty crappy situation with nothing but professionalism. He's frequently first/last on the ice; he still takes time to engage with fans; he's just acting like a true pro.

This play is a perfect example of how to scheme your way to success despite a limited o-line. Two tight ends create a seven-man protection. Holtz picks up the LB at the line of scrimmage. Kmet has Fields’ left side clean. Fields throws a dart to AR12.

Ok, so this is Robert Quinn smoking Penei Sewell for a strip-sack deep in the red zone. Sewell was the 7th pick in the draft, and Quinn made this look easy, and I believe Sewell had allowed just one sack through three weeks. Quinn is up to 4.5 sacks.
