Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
This hour is sponsored by AlmostFreeTeeth.com, affordable implants, life-changing smiles.
The views and opinions of Laila 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, Harris, and Grody. 10 to 2 on 670 The Truth.
Caleb Williams is the best quarterback this franchise has ever had. And it says two things. One, it says that Caleb Williams is starting to live up to his draft position. The other thing it says is the bar is kind of low when you look at the history of quarterbacks for the Bears.
That is... Talk about setting the bar low.
It's all happening really fast. You're putting that ring on very quickly. So I am just expressing a little bit of angst, a little bit of discomfort with your decision to cohabitate already. Like, it's just, you're two weeks into the relationship.
And you're already moving in. Now you're on one knee at the Bulls game. I mean, think about it. You move in. You start fighting over stupid game rooms. Next thing you know, you break up. Ross, you were right before. It was just a stupid fight about a room. Okay, there are no stupid fights.
Bob's been waiting. Can we stop with the boomer and onk takes of the 85 Bears?

Chapter 2: What are the hosts' expectations for the 2025 Bears' season?
You're such a boomer.
You obviously didn't watch Jim McMahon. You're assuming Jim McMahon couldn't keep up with the speed of players today. I guess that's what you're doing, even though you haven't ever seen the guy play, and I'm guessing you probably haven't even watched Highlights. Is it wrong?
Okay.
Danny P joining us right now.
The statement's very simple, Danny. Caleb Williams is the best quarterback the Bears have ever had.
I'm not necessarily saying Marshall is wrong, but where do you stand on Marshall's definitive statement? He's obviously objectively correct. Well, I am always right, but I forgive you.
Jim McMahon, he has a Super Bowl and Caleb Williams doesn't. But is that the only art? Because he obviously is not more talented than Caleb Williams. Modern era football as we understand it, Caleb Williams is clearly the most talented player the Bears have ever had to play the position.
I mean, I don't even know how I'm supposed to respond to that. That's a false equivalency. Just answer the question, Mr. Reynolds. Sure.
I rest my case. Layla Rahimi, Marshall Harris, Mark Grody. Middays 10 a.m. to 2 on Chicago Sports Radio 670 The Score.

Chapter 3: How does Caleb Williams compare to previous Bears quarterbacks?
My younger brother, my younger sister, they are clear Millennials. And so I have a lot of Millennial tendencies. Okay. Okay. All right. Fair enough. You, meanwhile, are just X marks the spot. That's That's right.
That's right. I own every single bit of that, as I did our Bears talk yesterday, which was fun. It really was. I had a blast in that hour and just listening back to the Butte right there, Tyler Buterbaugh, with a really good open. Ray Diaz is in the house as well, but that was fun.
Mark, here's what I'll say. The reason why I had to do it yesterday, the reason why I wanted to do it yesterday, because I felt like it was a degree of therapy involved, because here's the bottom line. What I said is absolutely true. I just want everyone to be at ease with it, comfortable saying it out loud.
And I feel like after yesterday's show, people are at ease with it, and they're comfortable saying that Caleb Williams is the best quarterback of all time. I don't know.
As far as the Chicago Bears go. And we're not going to do the whole thing again. Oh, yeah, yeah. I think most people, if pressed, if they had to do the yes or no thing, gun to the head. That's the point.
Okay, but I think there's still a lot of people, including myself, and obviously Dan Wiederer, as he made his opinion known, that are just not comfortable two years into a tenure doing a question or a topic like that. And I stamped the topic. We talked about it the night before. This wasn't like – I was the one who said, yeah, Marshall, I like it. And as a matter of fact, let's lead with it.
And as a matter of fact, let's talk about it for an hour. That didn't mean that my sensibilities weren't a little bit off or – Yeah, not offended, though. Insulted. Not offended. Not offended, but like, are we really doing a topic about this quarter?
After all that we've seen and all that we know and all that we know happens to quarterbacks, are we really doing the topic on is Caleb Williams the greatest Bears quarterback ever? The answer is probably yes, but the other answer is it's too soon to be talking about this.
Yes. No, the answer wasn't no. It's too soon to be talking about this. You are correct. But I like that today may be a little more in your comfort zone.

Chapter 4: What factors contribute to the legitimacy of the Bears' recent season?
I just didn't have interest because I think I knew myself. You were an adult at that point. Well, I just... That's the truth. No, it's not true because, look, I didn't play video games throughout college, high school. I just never went back to it because I think I would be overconsumed with it. So that was me knowing me. So there's that. And then, of course, the next text, 847 Boomer Grody.
And then one more text I wanted to read. You can't read every single text that we see on the text line. I have one I want to read, too, so go ahead. Here's the last one I'll read. 847. Grody, you're not wrong for being jaded, as we all should be, but I truly believe that the 2025 Bears season was all about changing the culture, and they accomplished that with fine colors.
Listen, this one may be the best text that I've seen on here. 847. I would hope everything Caleb learned last year carries over to next year. I would hope so, too. And I would also say it needs to carry over, and he needs to get better. I don't think anyone's arguing that specific point. But the game is the same.
It's still football, and now you're going to have a more difficult schedule on paper. Who knows? Maybe more quarterbacks will be hurt, and your worst two-game stretch, you won't face, I don't know, Joe Burrow and Lamar Jackson. But next year is going to be more of the same. You're never going to have a chance to really – catch your breath and get complacent because there's more to do.
And even when you win it all, there's still more to do.
Rahimi Harrison-Grody on the score. Let's turn to one of the Bears' assistant coaches. Antoine Randall-El runs the receivers for the Chicago Bears. He was on WGN with Jared Payton, and we definitely have permission to play this here right now, talking about the expectations of this season.
We take a break because we lost, and that's the way we look at it. And we know... that the team won't be the same. You know, you won't have all the same players. It just doesn't work out like that. But with that being said, there is the seeds that we planted in terms of this is the norm. And the norm is getting in the playoffs and have an opportunity to go win the Super Bowl.
That has to become the norm. And that's what we want that to be. And obviously, the norm is to win it all. But you got to get in the dance to be able to do it. Just get in the dance. I've been in the dance, man, as the one seed, as the two seed, as the six seed when it was only six teams on each side in terms of the NFC and AFC. So you just got to get in.
And once you get in, that's when, you know, obviously you want to be able to be playing your best ball. So we planted the seed. We got it done this first year. Now, starting out in the spring, guess what? We got to build it all over again.
