because he's been so spectacular in some of these moments, especially late in the season, I think we forget and we've kind of drifted away from a conversation about how important an environment is to a quarterback.

The Bears' offensive environment this season

It doesn't get much better than what Caleb Williams has been able to play in.

And you think about how far removed that is from what he was playing in last year.

Obviously, the offensive line quality, you have three all pro level players on the Bears offensive line, arguably four.

I think you can make an argument that four of the Bears five offensive linemen were top four players at their position this year in the NFL.

That's crazy.

I mean, that is so far removed from what we're used to in this town.

And every bet the Bears made along their offensive line hit.

And there's going to be revisionist history that everybody expected that.

The Jonah Jackson trade was lambasted in real time.

taking on that contract considering what the Rams gave him and how much he was going to cost.

That has been a hit.

Drew Dallman has been excellent.

Joe Tooney obviously is an all-pro player.

And Darnell Wright is the best Bears in-house success story, not named Caleb Williams, that has happened in the Ryan Poles era.

And so that all comes together as well as it possibly could have.

You have one of the best play callers and offensive architects in football.

You have a guy that is in the conversations with the Sean McVeigh's and the Kyle Shanahan's.

One of the guys that can change everything about the way that your offense operates.
