Williams found space with scrambles, including one deep in Panthers territory where he scampered down the right sideline for a game-tying touchdown; he broke contain multiple times and couldn't be sacked, demonstrating mobility and elusiveness; he also made a highlight throw on 3rd and long and took off down the left sideline for a 29-yard touchdown, showing both arm talent and rushing ability.PositiveMatchupSep 13, 2026
Williams is leading the Chicago Bears into Week 1 against the Panthers; the source notes that despite Williams being younger and less experienced than Bryce Young, the Bears are favored at -3, reflecting confidence in the Chicago offense and coaching staff under Ben Johnson.PositiveProjectionSep 12, 2026
Windy City Gridiron notes significant growth from 2024 to end of 2025: improved sack avoidance (from most-sacked QB at near-record pace to one of least-sacked), better offense operation from September to January, and increased comfort with Ben Johnson's system. Expects continued growth in 2026 since Williams no longer needs to learn the offense in spring. Key improvements needed: scramble drill execution (a practice focus), consistency with accuracy from pocket (though accuracy on the move is "absurd"), and maintaining low turnover rate. Windy City Gridiron Cat expects Williams to stabilize around 64% completion percentage (not 68%) due to his play-making style, with high time to throw driven by intentional creation on the move. Overall assessment: offense is "clicking already" and will "put up some numbers."NegativeProjectionSep 11, 2026
Brian Beversluis predicts a wild duel between Caleb Williams and Bryce Young, with the Bears ultimately pulling out a 35-31 victory, framing the matchup as a quarterback-driven contest.NegativeProjectionSep 10, 2026
Williams has seen slow starts in his first two NFL seasons; in 2024 he posted 3.2 yards per attempt and 4.7 yards per attempt in his first two starts (one win over Tennessee, one loss to Houston with two interceptions), and started 2025 with losses to divisional opponents before improving the following week. The source frames this Week 1 matchup as a test of which QB finds rhythm first, with the game hinging on which offense gets on schedule first.
