Kirk Herbstreit made some weird, unfounded comments regarding Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams during Thursday’s game against the Seattle Seahawks.
In the third quarter of that game, while the Bears were on offense, the color analyst started to dive into something else since neither team was giving them anything to speak on.
He made a comment about rookie quarterback Caleb Williams that rubbed fans the wrong way.
He speculated about whether Williams has the discipline to be the “first guy in, last guy out” type of quarterback.
What made his comments terrible was that he quickly admitted he hadn’t heard anything to suggest Williams wasn’t already doing those things.
“I think the thing that remains to be seen — and only time will tell — is if he understands what it takes to be an NFL quarterback as far as the preparation, as far as the first guy there, last guy leaving. And I’m not suggesting he’s not doing those things, but just all of those little things that really make the great quarterbacks special.”

Williams finished 16-of-28 for 122 yards, getting sacked seven times on Thursday Night Football.
Chicago’s offense recorded just 179 total yards and averaged a mere 3.1 yards per play. The team converted five of 15 opportunities on third down.
Caleb Williams’ Rookie Season Marred By Terrible Losing Streak
There was once a time when the Bears had a record above .500.
The Chicago Bears struggled mightily during a 6-3 loss to the Seattle Seahawks on Thursday Night Football. Much like the rest of his 2024 games, Williams saw a lot of time on the ground.
The 2024 NFL draft’s No. 1 overall pick has now been sacked at least seven times in four separate games throughout his rookie season.
This latest loss gave the Bears their 10th consecutive defeat, tying a franchise record.
Caleb Williams, 23, has thrown for 3,393 yards and 19 touchdowns, six interceptions, and an 87.4 passer rating through 16 games.
Social Media Detectives Think They’ve Uncovered Evidence That Former Chicago Bears QB Jay Cutler Is Responsible For Team’s Second-Half Collapse

Social media detectives think that former Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler has somehow jinxed his former NFL team amid their eight-game losing streak.
The Bears looked like playoff contenders early in the season, winning four of their first six games. But Jay Cutler’s old team has imploded with eight straight defeats, starting with Jayden Daniels’ “Madhouse in Maryland” Hail Mary game-winning touchdown back in Week 8.
As noted by X/Twitter user @jack_bfr, the Bears haven’t won a game since Cutler was arrested for driving under the influence on Oct. 17 in Tennessee. 10 days after his arrest, the Bears’ losing skid began against Washington.
“Harsh but fair,” a fan claimed.

“That, and the Vikings Lions Packers are loaded,” another pointed out.
“This could be a while,” said a fan.
“Damn facts are facts,” wrote another.
“Wow way to friggin go Jay, thanks,” said one fan.
“Bears still blaming Jay Cutler for their struggles,” quipped a user.
“I don’t think it’s a coincidence,” a fan wrote.
“@JoeBiden has one more pardon in him. Free Cutler so the #Bears can get back to ruining a potentially high draft pick,” stated another.
Jay Cutler Holds Most Bears’ Major Passing Records
Cutler is one of the most polarizing athletes in Chicago history, but he’s also responsible for their last playoff win (in the 2010 season). Additionally, he holds every significant franchise passing record, including yards (23,443) and completions (2,020).
