Whatever pack of friends you travel with, the Chicago Bears new quarterback Caleb Williams’ painted finger nails may be the topic of your conversation at some point. The Bears selected Williams number one in the NFL draft Thursday. Williams is a former Heisman trophy winner in 2022 out of USC University Southern California who is 22 years old and may be such a sure thing even the Bears could not screw this up. All experts have Williams as the cream of the crop at the quarterback position. This is supposedly the guy that will take any team to the Superbowl and beyond. This move by the Bears could finally solve the problem this franchise has had lingering since Sid Luckman was behind center during the 1940’s. A franchise quarterback. Say it ain’t so. First the 88 year drought of the White Sox was broken in 2005. Then the Cubs slaying their past demons of the curse of the billy goat. Let’s not forget when the Blackhawks decided to televise home games. Now a quarterback. Only if the Bulls can win something after the Michael Jordan era, the Chicago sports landscape will sort of be complete. Williams is flamboyant as he played ball in California, was born in Washington DC, is very cocky, and paints his finger nails. Legendary Bear greats like Dick Butkus may be turning over in their grave if he heard the Bears starting QB paints his finger nails.

Caleb Williams stands at 6’1″ tall and is a mobile quarterback that likes to pass the ball first, ask questions later. Williams could scramble and use his legs for chunks of yardage, but he’d rather make the passing play on the run. Last year Williams tallied up 3,633 passing yards leading the Trojans to a 7-5 record. Williams threw 30 touchdown passes and had 5 interceptions. Williams’ numbers were slightly down form his Heisman winning year of 2022 where he threw 42 touchdown passes and only 5 interceptions. He had 500 passing attempts and tallied up 4,537 yards. Williams started his Collegiate career with the University of Oklahoma in 2021 and he showed he had a ton of potential to be something special on the football field. He transferred to USC and showed off his aerial attack. Lucky for him, USC had a bad defense so he was able to throw the ball around the field more than your average quarterback. In three seasons on the College football gridiron, he has 100 touchdown passes, 10,000 yards, and only committed 19 turnovers. Only 87 others have done that in history of the NCAA Football history.

Ryan Poles took over the General Manager duties for the Chicago Bears in 2022 as he inherited Justin Fields who was picked in the first round by the old regime. Poles traded the one dimensional quarterback Fields to the Steelers for pretty much a bag of footballs. Unlike other years, the Bears failed at surrounding guys like Jay Cutler when he first was traded to the Bears from Denver with protection and play makers. The team had the same problems with Fields and Mitch Trubisky before him. Poles, who traded the Bears number one pick to the Panthers from last season, landed a stud wide receiver DJ Moore and this season Carolina’s number one pick for this draft. Carolina was the worst team in the NFL last season & gave the Bears their quarterback of the future, now in Caleb Williams. The Bears with their number 9th overall pick on Thursday landed one of the top receivers in college last year. Out of the University of Washington, it is Rome Odunze who caught 92 balls for 1,640 receiving yards and 13 touchdowns. The Bears also traded the salary cap hell Chargers team for their number one wide receiver in Keenan Allen. This will be the first time in NFL history a rookie quarterback will have a pair of 1,200 yard receivers from the previous season to throw to in Allen and Moore. The Bears reinforced the offensive lines. They added a stud running back in D’Andre Swift in free agency. Then another veteran tight end in Gerald Everett in free agency. They already had a pretty good tight end in Cole Kmet. The Bears even gutted out Matt Eberflus’ coaching staff and brought in some pretty solid football minds that can coach. All’s they need is Williams to drive the car with his fancy finger nails glistening on turf of Solider Field.

The million dollar question is: Did the Bears make the right pick at quarterback by drafting Caleb Williams? Let’s take the hot tub time machine back into the past as we remember the Bears selecting Mitch Trubisky as the first quarterback picked in that draft. The Browns picked Myles Garrett number one overall. The Bears were fleeced by the 49ers, moved one spot up and chose Trubisky out North Carolina. The sure thing in 2017 was Deshaun Watson. Patrick Mahomes became the gem of that draft as the Chiefs already have been to three Superbowls. Mahomes was the third quarterback picked in that draft after Bears picked Trubisky and then after the Texans who picked Watson. Later on Watson would become the scum bag rapist showing off and trying to inject his junk in every massage therapists in the Houston tri-state area. This year’s draft the Bears could have repeated themselves and picked Drake Maye out of North Carolina who wore the same number as Trubisky. They could have taken Jayden Daniels who many might say is similar to Justin Fields. This year’s draft was loaded with superior quarterback talent. Last year the Carolina Panthers picked Bryce Young number 1 overall. It turn out Houston had the best choice with CJ Stroud after one season. Chicago is where quarterbacks and receivers go to die. Could one of the other quarterbacks in this draft be the next Mahomes? It’s easy to say that Williams could instantly be jinxed and be the next Bears booby prize. Williams is confident he wants to beat Tom Brady’s 7 Supwerbowl titles. Is that confident or just cocky? Does Williams swagger, confidence, or his trash talking already irk players from other teams? Most Bears fans right now don’t see the nail polish and don’t care about the talk. They only want to see what a real quarterback looks like for their team in their own lifetime. The pressure will be on this kid because of being number 1 selection overall. Because the team built the most superior offense around him ever in the history of this Bears franchise. The Bears are known for defense and running the football. Williams could elevate this Bears franchise into a dynasty. It could be the pick that ends up shooting them in the paw. The football gods may not be ready to see Chicago actually have a franchise quarterback that is talented. We went through Tom Brady, and now it’s Patrick Mahomes. A Michael Jordan type only comes around once in a lifetime in one city it seems. Not sure it will be the guy wearing press-on nails.
