Caleb Williams Can be a Pro Bowl Quarterback in 2025

Say that Caleb Williams, the still learning Chicago Bears signal caller, will be a Pro Bowl quarterback in 2025, and you might get laughed out of the room. But this year is going to be the coming of the quarterback in Chicago, and Williams is going to lead the way. This is almost guaranteed.

The Bears have not had a stellar quarterback for many years. They have had some mediocre quarterbacks, guys like Mitchell Trubisky (for one season, he was ok), Jay Cutler, and perhaps their best quarterback in the last 50 years, Jim McMahon. But while McMahon and a guy named Rex Grossman were able to get their teams to the Super Bowl (although you can thank the defenses for that), no one has been able to get the team back into the big game again.

Enter Caleb Williams

Williams came to the Bears as the number one overall draft pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. The Bears had extremely high hopes for him in Williams’s first year with the team, but several factors contributed to his lack of success. Poor coaching was one, and perhaps the biggest. A lack of a quality offensive line was yet another, and of course, growing pains weren’t helpful either.

But things have changed a lot throughout the offseason. The Bears have made many improvements. The cast surrounding Williams is one of the strongest that we have seen in Chicago in a long time. Hopes are that the Bears will have enough around Williams to support him and have him be a success.

Perhaps he will finally live up to his lofty status and bring the Bears to the promised land. Or will he falter, like so many other quarterbacks have done in the Windy City?

Training Camp Woes

As this is being written, training camp is underway, and Williams is struggling. That’s bound to happen because he’s learning a new offense due to the arrival of new head coach Ben Johnson. Some fans and media members are scrambling with worry because they feel that Williams is headed for failure.

Some feel that this is going to be another terrible season, even though it’s hardly that far into the preseason.
Button up, the Bears are going to be bad again, right?

Or are they?

Training camp is hardly a place for Bears fans to watch the team and get scared and think they are going to have a bad season. You can’t tell much about a team at training camp. There just isn’t enough to go on.

What the Future Holds

The future is bright for the Bears and for Williams. You can bet that he is going to be better than he was in 2024. He must be, and he will be. The Bears are going to be a much better team this season despite the weird training camp beginnings. The slow start means nothing, and in fact, one would bet that Williams could end up having a Pro Bowl season in 2025.

Some may laugh at that, but with the right coaching and the right cast around him, it’s possible that Williams could make an appearance in the Pro Bowl. Remember what former Chicago Bears quarterback Mitchell Trubisky did one year ago? He made the Pro Bowl (many people forget that, but he was an alternate as a Bear). Williams is a much better talent than Trubisky, but he plays in a division full of talented quarterbacks as well as the NFC, where there are several solid signal callers.

Pro Bowl Caliber Player

Williams is easily a Pro Bowl-caliber player, and if he’s not one this year, he will be in the future. In the right offense, with the right scheme, he will have success. It may be that Johnson’s offense is going to be a good fit for him and the Bears, and they will thrive. We can only hope.

The Bears desperately need Williams to be as good as he can be this year. He needs to improve upon what he was able to do last season, even though he is going to be in a new offense. He must succeed. The Bears must also succeed and win many more games than they have in the last few seasons.

It’s important to the Bears and their fans that they become competitive. Another season like the last few could be detrimental to having a satisfied fan base.
