Bears tried to trade for Mike Tomlin

It's wild that people are saying williams sucks or that he had a bad season cause the bears as a whole didn't do well. Williams had over 3500 yards and 20 TD's to 6 ints but yet that is a bad season. We would kill for a rookie QB to have that type of season. To make it make sense jayden daniels who everyone thinks should be ROY has 25 tds and 9 ints and over 3500 yeards himself.

If Daniels had as many pass attempts as Williams, he would have had 4,170 pass yards and 29 TDs. They had the same ypc, but Daniels ran more and scored six times with his legs, giving him 31 total TDs to Williams’ 20. He also had a completion percentage that was 6.5% higher and a QB rating that was 12.3 points higher. Daniels was much better in the pocket, much more poised, less frenetic, more decisive, and had a far inferior group of players to throw to. He knew when to throw the ball away as opposed to taking sacks or negative plays.

It’s easy to throw out three stats to compare these two, but the bottom line (for their rookie seasons) is that Williams couldn’t hold Daniels’ jock and was nowhere near his level of play as a rookie. Williams can still have a great career, but Jayden was the runaway ROY for a reason while Williams was nowhere near the discussion.
