How does Bears’ situation for Caleb Williams stack up against other teams with rookie QBs?

New York Times  

When the Chicago Bears lost 19-3 to Drake Maye and the New England Patriots on Nov. 10, the excitement of Caleb Williams’ rookie season deflated. The right coach and GM could build a winner around Williams; whether it can happen with the McCaskeys in charge seems highly dubious.” GO DEEPER Caleb Williams' toughness — physical and mental — stands out as Bears crumble What’s it like in the cities where the rookie quarterbacks are excelling, and where fans are more hopeful about the future and not making head-coach candidate lists? “Wilson’s performance this season in Pittsburgh is proof he wasn’t solely to blame for Denver’s shortcomings last season, but the bottom line is Nix presents long-term hope at the position that hasn’t existed very often since Payton Manning walked into the orange sunset almost a decade ago.” And then there are the Patriots, who among my colleagues and league sources, would be the Bears’ competition for the least amount of long-term confidence. With the right head coach and play caller, improvements on the line and maybe a Halas Hall makeover, Williams could be the type of quarterback who won’t let this wayward rookie season affect his career.
