After decades upon decades of trying to find a true franchise quarterback, Chicago Bears fans ended up with the likes of Jim McMahon, Rex Grossman, Jay Cutler, and Mitch Trubisky.
FanSided's Ryan Heckman, though, has officially written the obituary for Chicago's century-long search for a franchise quarterback. Heckman is crowning Caleb Williams that man.
"After precisely 105 years of Bears fans absorbing countless punches to the gut (and, if we’re honest, their ego, self-worth and often reputation), all of that is now officially put to rest thanks to the arrival of one Caleb Sequan Williams.
From the very onset of his Bears career, Williams took on the many attempts of critics to try and prove that he would not ultimately be found guilty as the root cause of death, in this scenario.
Yet, thanks to a now-world renown, shirtless Ben Johnson, his offensive ingenuity and Midway Mantra of “Good, Better, Best” that’s become much more than just three simple words … Williams has crushed the franchise’s need to find their one, true quarterback."
The search is over as Caleb Williams is the man in Chicago
Week after week, Williams continues to show fans why he is the man who will lead the Bears from the depths of quarterback Hell and be their starter for the next decade. From his touchdown pass to DJ Moore against the Browns in Week 15 to the five game-winning drives he has led this season, there's nothing this man can't do.
Williams even said it himself that he can make every throw. That kind of confidence has not been seen at quarterback in Chicago, maybe never.
His one kyptonite? Accuracy. He's completed just 58% of his passes, but has been able to mask that with the spectacular plays he makes each week.
Williams has thrown for 3,150 yards and a career-high 21 touchdowns to six interceptions this season. He's added 334 yards and three touchdowns on the ground.

He may have his flaws, but Williams is genuinely one of the best young quarterbacks in the NFL and will only get better with age. That should scare the NFL.
