As a Chicago Bears fan, I have no problem making the case that Williams, the No. 1 pick of the 2024 NFL draft and Bears starting quarterback, was the right pick for the Bears last year regardless of anything Maye did last season. Plus, as anyone who watches him knows, Williams has nowhere near the penchant for turnovers that Maye has.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Williams' No. 1 pick status validated by superior turnover control and playoff-winning pedigree.

The source makes the case that Caleb Williams, the No. 1 overall pick of the 2024 NFL draft and Bears starting quarterback, was the correct selection for Chicago regardless of Maye's performance. Williams has demonstrated a significantly lower turnover profile than Maye, with the source noting he 'has nowhere near the penchant for turnovers that Maye has' and lacks the decision-making issues evident in Maye's game. The source emphasizes that Williams has already won a playoff game and 'delivered more than enough times in moments that mattered to cement himself as The Guy for the Bears past this season.'
