You would have thought a 51-yard field goal to beat the Packers in Green Bay would have earned Bears fans at least a week of peace.
The Bears' miserable season has been over for barely a week, and we're already reaching maximum temperatures on some of the takes that have been popping up ever since. Only winning half of the games you're expected to will do that, I guess, but still: this is supposed to be the time of year when Bears fans are safe to scroll Twitter before getting out of bed without their blood pressure skyrocketing.

Ross Tucker (surprise!) didn't get that memo, though. For some reason, Tucker went on local Chicago sports radio station 670 The Score to talk about the Bears' decision to draft Caleb Williams the morning after Jayden Daniels had the best game of his season. I bet you can guess what Tucker's takeaway from the Commanders win was!
Ross Tucker had his Caleb Williamas hot take ready to go first thing Monday morning
“Yes, yeah, I would say yes," Tucker said. "I would take Jayden Daniels 10 times out of 10 over Caleb Williams ... Jayden Daniels is already a top-10 quarterback in the NFL. Caleb is not a Top 20 quarterback in the NFL. So unless Jayden Daniles takes a step back, what are the odds that Caleb becomes a Top 10 quarterback?"
In Tuckers' slight defense – I have to do that – it was a dumb question. "Did the Bears draft the wrong quarterback?" after one single season is exactly what you'd expect from a morning drive time radio host, but it doesn't make the question any less stupid. I assume the show's producer knew exactly what they were doing when they formed the segment/interview (and subsequent social clip), but the whole thing is just very icky.
Jayden Daniels is very good. Most people have known that, and the ones that didn't found out on Sunday night. Caleb Williams also happened to have, like, one of the best rookie QB seasons in Chicago Bears history. Spending actual airtime on re-litigating a draft that happened literally eight months ago is peak Sports Radio nonsense, so maybe none of this should come as a surprise to anyone. You can, howeer, officially mark me down as Triggered, so I guess they should be commended for a job well done. But if you didn't want to, I wouldn't blame you.
