Earlier this week, our team wrote about some of Jordan Love's comments after the loss to the Minnesota Vikings, which, in short, said the whole team fell short.
Love has faced adversity since he was drafted, when many Packers fans were confused about the move as Aaron Rodgers had led the team to back-to-back NFC Championship game appearances. All in all, it was eerily similar to the situation Rodgers found himself in as a young player, and by all accounts, things were handled better than the Favre-Rodgers transition.
No one needs the history lesson, but I can confidently say Love handled every part of the situation better than I would have had I been in his shoes.
Caleb Williams, on the other hand, did not have the same level of adversity Love experienced when coming out of college. Williams was the consensus No. 1 overall pick in the draft and anointed the starting quarterback right out of the gate. The Chicago Bears did not shy away from the spotlight one bit, opting to do Hard Knocks with the young quarterback as a massive focus on the series.

Chicago got off to a great start, starting the season with a 4-2 record before a Hail Mary seemingly broke Da Bears. Since then, Chicago has not won, losing 10 straight, and is once again looking in the eyes of a Top 10 draft pick next year.
During last week's home finale, Bears fans were furious with the entire franchise, chanting "Sell the Team" and booing their guys off the field after the team could only muster a field goal, losing 6-3 to the Seattle Seahawks.
Caleb Williams gave a questionable reaction to Bears fans' frustrations
After the game, Williams addressed the media and dismissed fans' justified frustrations with the team.
"It's my first year. Their frustrations go way longer back than, you know, I've been here," said Williams. "My job is to go out there and win games. We don't focus on outside noise. Fans are going to cheer and maybe boo sometimes. You can't react to that. That's not something we react to."
The difference is staggering. Williams has not broken the mold of Chicago quarterbacks, and barring an all-time single-game performance, he will fall short of 4,000 yards and well short of a 30-touchdown season, two marks that a Bears quarterback has never crossed.
Things were supposed to be different in the Caleb Williams Era, but after a season that included firing Matt Eberflus, Williams' comments and the lack of maturity and accountability prove things are staying the same.
