What progress has Caleb Williams made in his second year with the Bears?
Tim Jenkins. I've got people real mad at me in Chicago that how dare you? There's a radio guy up there, Mike North. He was real mad. Founder and CEO of Jenkins Elite. I'm Tim Jenkins and welcome to All Things QB where I watch every single clip and break down the most important ones today. Breaking down the positives and negatives. You've seen progressions that align with the quarterback's eye. I hope that's what we get more of, but I hope we continue to see some of these concepts and the way we build things are better for the quarterback versus just looks good on paper. Tim Jenkins with Rahimi Harrison-Grody on Chicago Sports Radio 670 The Score. Let's jump into the film.

I'm doing great. I'm doing great. Probably like everybody, a little bummed still. But yeah, coming out on the other side, you know, starting the seasonal depression. But yeah, coming out on the other side. But this season, the way it ended, how different do you feel about the Bears organization today than you did a year ago? By the way, it's Happy Ben Johnson Day because this is the day that he was hired one year ago today. Yeah, I think you nailed it. So it was funny because I have become so attached to the Bears and how much I love them now. But here's what I'll say, and this is kind of how I wrapped up my breakdown this week was – If you were to ask me what you just said, hey, how much more I'm so I can't even measure how much more optimistic I am that they are in a substantially better spot.
Right. I feel like you kind of you know, I feel like unless you're a part of the national media and you don't watch the Bears that much, I think, you know, for sure. Hey, Caleb, obviously trending in the right direction there. From what he started at, just operating this offense week one to the divisional round. Just like tons of growth. You can see he's on the right path. Obviously, it feels like we've got the guy when you watch Ben. What I did say, though, was I said I just don't want to take it for granted. I don't want to just assume. OK, hey, we're going to be back in the playoffs again, right? This is a huge, you know, you got to climb the mountain every single year. And I do think we want a ton of close games.
So to me, it's like, you know, I'm cautiously optimistic. It's hard for me to sit here and say, man, I for sure see that it's going to be the same next year because, you know, we saw it with a bunch of good teams in the NFL this year where you come in, you feel good about all their pieces and you go, oh, shoot, hey, they didn't make the playoffs last But compared to where I was last season, it's night and day. I think we have all the pieces to do it. You also think to yourself, man, can we spend a little bit more on defense here? Is there a chance that the defense comes back substantially better? Because what we saw in that game against the Rams was... substantially better than I think what we've seen all year.
So to me, I think there's a ton of optimism. Obviously, it's cautious because, again, the NFL is such a finicky thing where some years you're great and it feels like you have the same roster and then you struggle the next. But the two key pieces, I think, you've got to feel great about.
Yeah, absolutely. The optimism is for sure there. And I thought... What throw can be more theatrical than the fourth and eighth throw to Roma Dunze in the Packers game? Well, he follows that up with Caleb Williams does running 20-some-odd yards behind the line of scrimmage before the prayer of a throw to Cole Komet in the corner of the end zone. That's just one of the amazing things he does. After reviewing film on him all year, Tim, how would you rank the throws that stood out the most to you?
Yeah, it's so funny because if you were to ask me that about any other quarterback, I could just name them to you because there's three of them, right?
