What are Ben Johnson's expectations for Caleb Williams?
This hour is sponsored by Wintrust. The views and opinions of Layla Rahimi, Marshall Harris, and Mark Grody should not be taken too seriously. Especially when they give advice. Do not take Marshall's analogies literally. Especially when it comes to Russell Dorsey. The sports thoughts of Rahimi, Harris, and Grody may change at any time. It's just sports. Okay, thanks. Bye. Rahimi Harrison-Grody, 10-2 on 104.3 The Score.
You know who else needs full coverage?
We're going to talk about Caleb here in a second, but if I may, just to pick up where you guys left off there in terms of – and I had this revelation last night hearing Kevin Warren and hearing that soundbite, spring and summer. And you know me, I've been pretty even-keeled about the stadium thing because I have heard on record and off record a lot of things about things that I've reported here about Indiana being absolutely real and George McCaskey maybe not having the stomach to move to Indiana, not wanting that on his legacy. I've come to the conclusion that Indiana is bogus. and that if the Bears were actually serious about Indiana, and this is new for me because it's a fluid situation, if they were serious about Indiana, they would have committed to Indiana by now.
They are allowing Illinois at every step to push this back, to kick the can down the road further, to allow the legislators to push back against Kevin Warren and take deep breaths. They are just waiting for Illinois to get their acts together so they can move to Arlington Heights. The Bears are going to Arlington Heights. Indiana's bogus.
Indiana is that honey bun that's been sitting in your cabinet for the last five years. Like, technically, it hasn't gone bad. And you know you would never eat it, except if there was an absolute emergency. Like, there's nothing else left. The grocery stores have been shut down.
And there's that honey bun. I think that's a pretty good analogy right there. Because at this point, yeah, it would be, right, a desperation at this point. And there was a time. And you know this.
How does completion percentage impact Caleb Williams' performance?
from me saying it on these airwaves, on 50,000 watts of 104.3 the score, saying, yeah, Indiana's real, folks. This is real stuff. It's bogus. It's bogus. Or they would have done it by now, and they wouldn't just keep on, okay, we'll wait. We'll wait a little bit longer. We'll wait for the cranes a little bit longer. It's becoming foolish by now. And Arlington Heights will be great, and we'll all be happy, but I no longer believe, as I did before, that Indiana's actually in play.
We'll be happy when it's done.
Period. A year's a lifetime. Oh, that too. And I've been that guy, and there's people listening right now who are like, just let me know when it actually happens. Unfortunately, the nature of what we do around here dictates that we have a little bit of information and a little bit of insight and have an actual discussion about these things.
We have to disseminate the information, Mark.
We do, and it can be boring. But I hope it's not boring for people to hear me say right now, it ain't happening in Indiana.
I'm not bored, Mark. Mark, if that makes you feel any better.
That does make me feel happy. How about Caleb Williams? Does he bore you?
Nothing about Caleb Williams bores me. In fact, anything related to Caleb Williams, as we disseminate the information, as we get it directly from the horse's mouths of Ryan Poles or Ben Johnson, it is actually the opposite feeling of when I hear about the stadium.
It really is. Oh, Caleb? Turn it up, honey. Give me more. Yes.
What challenges does Caleb Williams face in improving his stats?
Let me gorge myself on Caleb Williams' information.
Amen. And let us gorge ourselves on the Bears head coach, Ben Johnson, who says all the right things in terms of what Bears fans should want to hear. That enough with last season. And there's no sense of entitlement relative to last year. And when we're out in public, we don't need to hear about a great... Don't feed the bears, folks. You're only hurting the bears if you feed the bears that sort of information. One of these things, too, is one of the... I would say if there was one phrase or two words...
