so the season is over and its time to get into all the stats 
like Caleb Williams' 58.1 completion percentage was kinda lackluster, but he's still got that intangibles thing goin on... 
90.1 passer rating ain't shabby either!
and oh boy, the Bears' runnin back duo of Swift and Monangai put up some crazy numbers - 1870 yards and 14 touchdowns combined is insane
3.5 yards per carry average was also super impressive
now, I know what you're thinkin', "what about them wide receivers?"
well, Rome Odunze struggled with injuries, but Luther Burden III showed some flashes of brilliance after the catch... and Olamide Zaccheaus had a solid start before his drop issues became too much
the defense, on the other hand, was a major letdown
Montez Sweat being the best player on the D-line isn't enough to mask the lack of depth at this position. they were 1 of only 4 teams that couldn't hold opposing runnin backs under 5 yards per carry 
but hey, Tremaine Edmunds was lookin good in the early stages of the season
and Kevin Byard III's playmaking ability saved the secondary from some serious embarrassment
overall, i'd give Caleb Williams a solid B for his season... not perfect, but he showed that he can perform when it matters most

They formed a solid duo that could take what the defense gave 'em. And tight end Colston Loveland was a total surprise for me - I didn't see him doing so well this season! 
Montez Sweat's the only good player they got and even then, he can't carry that unit alone.
. T.J. Edwards' absence was a huge factor in their struggles. I'm all for calling out mistakes, but if you're gonna give them a passing grade, you gotta be more specific about what they did well and what they need to work on 
.
but yeah thats my 2 cents i think coach ben johnson did a great job bringin in talent and showin us what he's got. Caleb williams is def a top qb prospect and olamide zaccheaus was on fire last year 
. I mean, who expects to get blown out by anyone? Like, Montez Sweat is the only bright spot in that whole unit... poor guy gets roasted all game 
. And don't even get me started on the linebackers corps 
. They showed some promise, but injuries and depth issues held them back.
, especially with Caleb Williams taking it to the house. Those running backs were a force to be reckoned with 
, and Colston Loveland is like, for real 
. And Ben Johnson's enthusiasm? 
totally infectious... almost made me forget how bad that defense was 
. Maybe invest in some new defensive linemen and linebackers?
