Williams was pressured on 13 of 52 attempts on Sunday.

Not quite as good as only 4, but that's the second time in 3 games he's been pressured at a below average rate 

It was a joke

Yeah, don't get this narrative Caleb' under constant pressure, yes, there are times but, watch the film, it's not true.

It was a joke. The OL has been fine blocking guys straight up (except for Darnell Wright vs the Texans), they just can't handle games or stunts up front. Coincidentally, the Colts didn't run any stunts that I remember?

They ran a couple but fewer than they should have

Williams’ release is insane. Phil Rivers’ name popped into my head 

That’s what I’m seeing too and it’s the biggest separator for him over a guy like Fields.  I honestly did not expect it to be that quick but admittedly I didn’t watch a ton of USC.

Ball has to come out quickly and not a lot of QBs can do it that fast.

Yeah, when people were saying "oh he's just like Fields" when there was a debate on what the Bears should do with #1, I remember saying on Twitter, if they are the exact same QB at reading defenses and lack of anticipation (they aren't), that Caleb would be an improvement simply because his quicker release allows the ball to get there that 1/2 second sooner.

I’m glad we’re excited about his release. I guess I was hoping for a competent QB, and right now I don’t see a lot of that in him

I’m hoping it has really just been nerves and him catching up to the speed of the game.. if he does, than I could be happy with his release
