This might sound crazy, I think he played better against Detroit than Dallas.
Guys were open all over the field yesterday and he missed some throws that he really shouldn’t have. Also had 2 super impressive throws to Burden, the flea flicker and the one over the middle. Against Detroit, no one was open most of that game and he made the right reads into really tight windows.  Previous Message I’m more encouraged about it because Caleb actually played well against Detroit too. Still need to see the inexplicable misses get cleaned up but one would hope that’s fixable and will happen once he’s more comfortable. If this follows the typical Bears script there will be a big step back this coming weekend, but I’m hoping it’s different this time. Previous Message Can look like when we win the line of scrimmage but that’s not gonna happen against most teams. Caleb had more time and that made a huge differrncr Previous Message
not so much for the desert birds. Jesus, what a bad football weekend...
