4 reasons Caleb Williams will turn out differently from every Bears QB failure (no, really)

Once upon a time, it sure felt like Justin Fields might be the Bears’ quarterback of the future. But even Chicago could fail with a 6-foot-3, 227-pound player who runs a 4.40 40-yard dash. Instead of being “The Man” for a mostly directionless franchise, Fields is now a Pittsburgh Steeler for the meager price of a sixth-round draft selection. Such is life with the Bears and the tug-of-war they seemingly always lose with quarterbacks.

But this time, there’s hope.

Armed with the top pick in next month’s NFL Draft, the Bears are expected to draft Caleb Williams, a young man many view as one of the finest quarterback prospects in league history. If you’re a scarred Bears fan, you’re understandably skeptical about Chicago finally getting it right at the most important position in football. If you’re an NFL fan, you’re just waiting for the Bears to fail Williams like they have with so many passers before poking fun at their continued incompetence.

I’m here to tell you it’s going to be different this time. Williams will break the trend of Bears’ humiliation and become the superstar quarterback Chicago has waiting so, so long for. Let’s take a look at the main reasons why. (Please stop laughing before you start reading.)
