ESPN’s Troy Aikman made an observation about rookie quarterback Caleb Williams that should have every Chicago Bears fan worried.
The Bears lost to the Minnesota Vikings 12-30 on Monday night, with the rookie having another rough outing that saw him get sacked three more times to take his total to 59.
He didn’t look like a player who could take much more when he went to the bench early in the fourth quarter, showing off some concerning body language to prompt some worry from Aikman.
“I was 0-11 as a starter and he’s had a much better rookie season than I had,” the commentator said. “He was grimacing and in an enormous amount of pain. When you watch him, you can tell that he’s a defeated guy.”
“What you worry about is a rookie quarterback losing confidence.”

Caleb Williams Would Benefit From A Better Offensive Line
Caleb and the Bears have three more games left to play this season but are likely already looking ahead to 2025, when the quarterback will hope to have actual protection.
Aikman’s concerns aren’t misplaced; the last thing the team wants is for their QB to lose confidence. But they have got to get him a better offensive line.
“He’s Like Get Me Outta Here”: Cameras Caught Bears QB Caleb Williams’ Reaction On The Sidelines During Blowout Loss To 49ers & NFL Fans Are All Saying The Same Thing

NFL fans were saying the same thing over a viral clip of Chicago Bears rookie quarterback Caleb Williams looking sad and defeated on the sidelines.
Caleb Williams’ Bears were no match for a desperate San Francisco 49ers team, losing 38-13 in a humiliating beatdown at Levi’s Stadium. The first-overall pick completed just 17 of 23 pass attempts for 134 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions while taking seven sacks.
With the 49ers up 18 points in the third quarter, the FOX cameras shared a clip of Williams looking dejected and disappointed on the sidelines:
“He’s like get me outta here,” said another.

“I feel for him,” a sympathizing fan said.
“Bad coaching fails these guys,” wrote another fan.
“They can definitely get some help in this year’s draft and some free agents,” one fan suggested.
“Experience bears football,” a user wrote.
“I feel bad for him,” said a fan.
“He wants out already,” wrote another.
Caleb Williams Has Been A Bright Spot For Dysfunctional Bears
The dysfunctional Bears fired head coach Matt Eberflus after their Thanksgiving loss to the Detroit Lions. But as we saw in Sunday’s loss to the 49ers, a coaching change alone isn’t going to fix this unit.
Williams has had a superb rookie year, considering the inept coaching and atrocious offensive line in front of him. He has 16 touchdowns and only five interceptions, and you can only wonder how much better Williams will get if the Bears pair him with the right coach.
