Albert Breer: It's Fair To Expect Caleb Williams And Bo Nix To Be Ahead Of Schedule | 8/19/24

what's the proper reaction to Caleb Williams and Bo Nicks performances this past weekend so I I think it's I think it's fair to expect both those guys to be ahead of schedule for different reasons right um so with Caleb it's because they the benefit the Bears did of of having the number one overall pick and knowing that he was going to be their selection I'd say they they they really knew it the combine right that the Caleb Williams was going to be the guy and so that allowed them creatively to start ramping him up and um you actually have a story going up on the site today about all of this and like what they did creatively to to get them ready to go they were installing the offense with him in March and April so when they went out to USC for the pro day when they had the 30 visit when they brought him in and had the you know three one hour zooms that are allowed pre-draft they were putting in formations they were putting in terminology they were putting in Cadence the 30 visit they taught him you know how to call a play in a huddle because that's something he hadn't had a lot of experience with that that allowed them to hit the ground running with him when he reported for rookie mini camp in May and um then when he went away um for the 40 days between spring and summer he took some big jumps because they worked with his personal quarterback's coach to give him a program um for that period of time so by the time he got back like I had one coach there told me it really looked like pro football you know and that's a big thing for a rookie especially one coming from the sorts of offenses that Caleb Williams has played in so I think the Bears Bears fan should be excited about what they saw because of the situation he's in throwing to Keenan Allen and and DJ Moore and and and roma dun and the the problem they need to be less excited in Chicago they're too excited I think like the expectation level is like how far are we going in the playoffs you know right we get to the they're in a tough division too I mean Detroit look like who's the I mean is Minnesota gonna finish last in that Division and Minnesota's a really good team you know what I mean like that's a I Kevin oconnell has done a fantastic job there I mean I think Green Bay's got a shot a shot to make a real run at at unseating Detroit and I think Detroit's one of the three or four best teams in football you know so it's going to be a tough road to Ho in that division um as for Denver and B Knicks I would be this is gonna sound like I don't want this to sound insulting I would be alarmed if he didn't look good after 61 starts in college he's supposed to look good you know like that's the benefit of taking a guy who has a historic amount who got a historic amount of playing time in college is that he should look ready he started he was a multi-year starter two different schools um he went through the ups and downs he played in different offenses um he should be as prepared as damn near any quarterback who's ever come out of college based on the amount that he played and so you know I think it's good that he's that that that it does look the way that it does but that's sort of what we should expect um he's a good fit for Shawn Payton's offense and um I think the one thing that's like really obvious but notable if you watch the Broncos preseason games the offense moves when he's in there you know and that's a simple thing but it means it's an efficient operation when he's in there and that's going to allow you get Buy in from other players in the locker room and so um you know like I I would be less worried about where B Knick is in year one and year two what I'd be more concerned about is where he is in year four and year five where it's like I have a lot of confidence he's going to be able to play at a competent NFL level fast the question is when it comes time to pay a guy like that 50 or $60 million a year is he going to be able to level up to the point where you're going to be you know ready and and happy about doing that that that's the part I think people are less sure about
