ESPN’s top NFL insider, Adam Schefter, has suggested that the Chicago Bears could be considering a change at quarterback following their latest loss.

The Bears fell to 4-5 on the back of a 19-3 defeat to the New England Patriots on Sunday and, as the scoreline suggests, didn’t get into the end zone at all.

Williams, the No. 1 overall pick in this year’s NFL Draft, hasn’t quite performed as expected in his rookie season and, according to Schefter, could be benched for Tyson Bagent.

“[There’s going to be] some sort of change in Chicago on the offensive side of the football,” Schefter said during an appearance on ‘The Pat McAfee Show’ on Monday.

“Is that changing the playcaller? Is that changing the quarterback and benching Caleb Williams for Tyson Bagent? I think all these things are being discussed in the building today. And, ultimately, the organization has to figure what is the best course of action for this franchise to move forward.” 

 

Caleb Williams Learned A Lot In His Latest Loss

Williams finished Sunday’s game with 120 passing yards and zero touchdowns on 16-of-30 throwing while getting sacked a season-high nine times.

He has also been the most sacked QB in the league this season, with rushers getting to him 38 times.

“Definitely this game is a lot to learn from for myself, just speaking on some of the situational things,” the former USC star told reporters on Sunday. “Obviously, there’s a few passes every game that you wish you could have back and things like that. But I think situationally, this game was a great learning experience for me with some of these situations that I could have done better for sure.”

VIDEO: Caleb Williams’ Strange Reaction Towards Shane Waldron Got Himself Booked By Sideline Cameras, And It’s Clear He’s Done With Bears OC

Cameras caught a bizarre sideline interaction between Shane Waldron and Caleb Williams, suggesting the Chicago Bears’ rookie quarterback is done with his offensive coordinator.

Caleb Williams and the Bears welcomed a two-win New England Patriots squad to Soldier Field today. This was the ultimate get-right game for a struggling Bears team that dropped its previous two games.

But the Bears have shown little fight against the rebuilding Patriots. And judging by Williams’ response to Waldron on the sideline, it looks like the rookie signal-caller has had it with his offensive coordinator:

 

It’s important to be patient with rookie quarterbacks, but Williams was drafted first overall for a reason. The Bears supplied him with four big-time playmakers in DJ Moore, Keenan Allen, Rome Odunze and D’Andre Swift, so there’s no excuse for the offense to be this bad.

Bears head coach Matt Eberflus is among the front-runners to be the next HC fired. A loss to New England at home might be the final nail in the coffin for the third-year HC.

Caleb Williams Hasn’t Come As Advertised…Yet

While Jayden Daniels is having an MVP-like rookie year in Washington, Williams still hasn’t put it together. He came into today with only nine touchdowns against five interceptions while barely averaging over 200 passing yards a game.
