Caleb Williams intends to improve the inconsistencies in his game in 2026. It is encouraging that his weaknesses did not limit the Chicago Bears’ success in 2025. The Bears enjoyed great success last season, and only more success will follow with Caleb Williams growing and developing.
In a recent article, Jeremy Fowler provided insight on some of the weaknesses in Caleb Williams game, and why many are still optimistic about Caleb:
“His inconsistencies did give some voters pause. His 20.2% off-target rate was 37th out of 38 quarterbacks in 2025, though his ability to keep plays alive and throw the ball away contributes to this.
“Wildly erratic,” a veteran NFL defensive coach said. “Doesn’t always take the layups and still needs to mature into the position. [He] has some of those ‘what is he doing?’ plays. But he also makes plays only he and Mahomes can make. [He] can throw from any angle, deceptively fast when forced to scramble and he’s got the ‘it’ factor in crunch time.”
Caleb Williams is not a perfect quarterback just yet, but the quarterback he is right now is good enough to completely change things around for the Chicago Bears. His strengths outweigh his weaknesses, and it is only a matter of time before his weaknesses become strengths.
