The Chicago Bears have hit a big wall in the middle of their season.
They are now 4-5 after losing three games in a row, and rookie quarterback Caleb Williams is struggling to play consistent football.
Former NFL quarterback and current ESPN analyst Dan Orlovsky believes Chicago has been a disaster so far this season.
“Utter disaster…How ’bout Chicago you coach him instead of throwing him to the side and sweeping the problem under the rug…Chicago thinks they’re dating Caleb Williams. You’re married to him,” Orlovsky said Thursday morning on Get Up.

As an organization throughout history, the Bears have struggled to identify great quarterback play.
Now that they have a talented player in Williams, they don’t know how to proceed.
Through nine games, the former Heisman winner has a completion percentage of 60.5%, a QBR of 38.4%, and he has been sacked 38 times.
It also doesn’t help that the Bears fired offensive coordinator Shane Waldron.
If Waldron wasn’t doing his best or fitting in well with the team, it makes complete sense why they fired him.
But now, Williams is left to try to figure things out for himself as a rookie with a franchise with a small history of quality quarterback play.
It’s fascinating to consider that the team was just a well-defended Hail Mary throw away from having a 5-4 record.
Now, it feels like the ship is sinking, and the pressure is starting to mount on every single person in the organization.
