A few weeks ago Dave Wannestedt said he was at a Bears practice right after they re-signed Bagent and was talking to Poles. Dave said, “It looks like you have a solid backup QB now.” Poles said, “ We have that and more.”
-
Then that’s not a successful NFL QB
-
His teammates are going to turn on him. You just can’t be that bad in the NFL. It’s the same thing over and over: can’t hit the deep ball, inaccuracy, holding it too long, not throwing it away, not seeing the open receiver. Can he make plays? Sure, but career backups can make plays.
-
I’d put him up there with Kyle Shanahan, but yes very highly regarded. But I don’t care how good a coordinator and coach Ben is, you just can’t win with the type of performance Caleb showed today. He was really bad and did not show improvement.
-
He was coming off a Pro-Bowl season. Now if we just had the Eagles’ line.
-
The Bears have much bigger issues. I am genuinely scared that Caleb isn’t the guy. I understand that call if the game looked to be a shootout.
-
Nobody said he was a great head coach. He’s a great play caller, but it’s going to be a learning process as he does things he’s never been exposed to in the moment. Let’s not forget that the Bears turned the ball over on downs on the Minnesota 24 in the 2nd quarter.
-
3 TD drives in the 4th quarter. And he did it on the road in primetime. Yes the Bears were down key starters on defense, but Dennis Allen is a great defensive coordinator and McCarthy and O’Connell got the last laugh. lol
-
Listening to O’Connell talk in his presser about how he told McCarthy at halftime that he would win the game for them is the complete opposite of what Caleb’s teammates must feel about him. I think Caleb has leadership intangibles, but he just doesn’t have the consistent it factor to be a good NFL QB.
-
It was great because he did something in the 4th quarter that’s never been done by a QB in his first game
-
50 yards isn’t medium range, but NFL kickers make 50 yarders 75% of the time (Santos is around 65%). The other thing about that kick is that Santos barely got the ball there. He’s only accurate because he rarely attempts long FGs.
-
Peyton and Eli were basically screaming for this to happen well before Santos lined up. Everybody knew it but our coaching staff.
-
It was Santos
-
?
-
No QB in NFL history has led their team to 3 TD drives in the 4th quarter of their first game
-
They weren’t awful until the 4th quarter and McCarthy made a bunch of good throws to bury the Bears. You can’t expect much more from a rookie on the road in primetime.
-
He did last year a few times, but I still don’t expect it. He just doesn’t look like a good QB. He’s way too uneven. Caleb has to be a reason the Bears win and he wasn’t tonight.
-
Having 3 of your top 4 defensive starters out hurts. But Caleb got outplayed too and this game was very concerning because he is still inaccurate, still tries to do too much, and still can’t make the right quick or deep read.
-
I am very afraid that Caleb doesn’t have it. I want him to, but the more I see of him the more nervous I get. You just don’t get a long leash anymore these days My only consolation is that I think the Bears know they have a backup who might be better.
-
He led the team on multiple drives in the 4th quarter on the road on MNF in his first game. He did pretty darn well!
-
Ben Johnson and Caleb…I hope you are ready for the heat
-
McCarthy was bad?
-
The Mannings are really ripping the Bears for not kicking the ball out of bounds which would have saved them 20-25 seconds
-
What has Warren done but dragged out the Bears stadium situation which cost the McCaskeys hundreds of millions of dollars, made bad videos telling everyone how much work he does, and extended a GM who has been really bad overall?
-
He got an extension for one reason and one reason only - the trade with the Panthers. But then you have to pick the right QB with that trade.
