Tuesday, November 26th, 2025, two days till Thanksgiving, three days till the Bears head to Philadelphia for the Black Friday game. And I just took a beautiful five mile walk here in New York City. Perfect, perfect fall day down to the Long Island City waterfront. And as I was walking down listening to some podcasts, I was thinking to myself, why is Caleb Williams facing the level of scrutiny he is currently facing in year two, seemingly snap for snap, drive for drive, game for game? Why do fans and media get so schizophrenic when it comes to reacting to everything he does? And I think I figured out the answer. And I haven't seen this in other places. Caleb's big problem right now is that the Bears are winning. If every Caleb snap and throw in all of these close games didn't carry with it seemingly the weight of winning and losing, we would not be talking about a young quarterback inaccurate at times. We would not be talking about three or four misses in a game or two. We would be talking about a kid who is clearly making huge leaps in a complicated offense in year two of his pro career. But we're seeing people fixated on those other moments because the Bears are a relevant team. And the expectations for 2025 have completely shifted away from progress and development to the playoffs. Think about this game against the Steelers. Three touchdown passes, some lasers, good reads all over the field, avoiding pressures and sacks again. If the Bears went into this game at 3-7 and not 7-3 and won this game, Caleb's performance is an overwhelming net positive for every evaluator of the game. Everyone comes out of the game and says, oh yeah, we're seeing the progress. But we're fixated. I mean, I'm not personally, but many are fixated on the negative moments because every moment of every Bears game seems to carry the weight of winning and losing. This is the blessing and the curse for him in 2025. He has not been allotted a season of mediocrity as a franchise to make his mistakes. His mistakes are coming in games that matter. And every game this season has mattered and every game the rest of this season will matter. This is a great thing for the Chicago Bears organization, but I do think it explains why the microscope has been so finely tuned on this player, snap for snap. Talk to you again after the Black Friday game, a game the Bears can absolutely win. How can you watch Eagles-Cowboys a couple of days ago and not think anybody can beat this Eagles team? The Bears are a live dog in this game. It is a tough, tough road win against a desperate team, but they are a live dog. Happy Thanksgiving to everybody.
