Bears making a huge mistake.

After reading the story on his surgery and knowing what they had to do, I think it’s questionable whether McCarthy ever starts a regular season game. He would have been better off with an ACL IMO. He walked around several days on a badly torn meniscus which compounds the problem and lessens the chance it heals properly
Hey I never woulda drafted the shrimp... Terrible selection IMO. For most of the year I was pretty high on him but the more I watched with my own eyes and saw Hargod play calls tnat seemed to suggest he didnt completwly trust JJ to throw it...no thank you. Not in the first round anyway.
Remember when people made fun of the Bears for not playing Caleb Williams in the 1st preseason game?
“He needs real game reps!”
Bill Belichick on Monday said preseason games are the equivalent of civil war reenactments
Zero game planning, zero sub packages, zero scheme, same base looks all game long
He said joint practices are much, much closer to reg season reps because teams are actually working on stuff
A meniscal injury literally can happen walking down a staircase. McCarthy needed live reps if they were going to play him. He’s toast. Now they have to find a better backup. With their corners, they’ll suck this year anyways😕
Well it didn't happen walking down a staircase. It happened in a pre-season game. I'm just pointing out the possible outcome the Bears saw by randomly throwing out their star rookie to play with a bunch of backups/practice squad players for extremely little benefit. People said the Bears were hiding him and he sucks. No, they were actually smart.
Young QBs need live reps. It’s a risk you need to take and odds are that the meniscal injury was non contact.
The point I was making was that Williams wasn't going to be getting reps with DJ Moore and Swift. It was going to be a bunch of backups and guys trying to make the practice squad. The negative far outweighed the positive. You think the 20 snaps he would have got with a bunch of backups was worth the risk? It wasn't, which is why he didn't play.
I disagree with the idea that those reps wouldn’t be valuable but you have a valid point. It’s more about letting a young QB read a defense, go through his progressions or audible at the line. McCarthy wasn’t asked to do much at UM.
> JJ plays his first game not as a hand-off artist
> breaks
who could've seen this coming?

I think he led the nation in compl % to be fair...but its a lot easier to do that with the best o-line and a great rushing attack.....but what you said. Yeah.
I was mostly kidding, but I never thought he would make a good NFL QB.
he still might, and I could be totally wrong, I just don't see him being the guy.
I knew you were mostly kidding, and it was funny....I'm also not sure most people realize how accurate he was in college....but hey, even Tebow apparently was an amazing passer in college....and he sucked at passing. Sometimes its hard to make sense of the numbers.
The Bears would have screwed up Bradshaw?
the bears didn't pick that year until the first pick of round 3. Did they trade the 2nd overall pick?
Im rooting for him. It's been 40 years since Jimmy Mac made a pro Bowl. I'd like to see another good Bears QB in my lifetime.😌
She’s also a GOAT.
I dont know. Love turned it up last season. He’s gonna be a problem for a long time.
Nope...
Lions are good now
Bears will be okay
Vikings are ****ed
GB will be lucky to win 8 games this year
Almost as bad as how Mahome's brother treats women.

Good lord. People will try to make a big deal out anything. Probably didn't even think about it.
