Caleb Williams: The Comeback Kid! QB’s Determination to Prove Doubters Wrong
The frustration of unmet personal expectations meet those of unmet external goals for Bears rookie quarterback Caleb Williams.
The only answer is to keep plugging away as the Bears host another division title contender Sunday at Soldier Field in the rematch against the Detroit Lions. It’s a matter of time for him.
Williams’ has plenty of regrets, one of those last week coming on a missed deep ball to Keenan Allen. He threw while moving forward and overthrew the target on a sure touchdown.
“Yeah, carried a little bit too much momentum into the pocket movement and tried to give him a little bit more touch than I did and the ball just carried with the momentum of moving up in the pocket and I didn’t want to drive it because of where the defender was,” Williams said. “I thought he was going to try and undercut it.
“Tried to give him a little touch. The momentum forward let the ball carry a little bit more than I wanted to.”
It’s all a matter of patience for Williams, whose overall numbers have improve even as the Bears’ win total has been stuck at four through eight games.
“Yeah, it’s frustrating,” he said. “I hate missing passes, especially ones that I’ve been pretty consistent on for a good amount of time. That’s coming.”
