Caleb Williams Climbs Bears' Record Book

Caleb Williams is already close to ranking in the top five in Bears history for touchdowns and passing yardage. He needs 3,127 passing yards and 18 passing TDs to achieve this feat.

The Bears lack a strong history of quarterbacks, with Jay Cutler being the most consistent in team history.

Caleb Williams' presence gives the franchise a chance to dominate for years to come and set records that will be hard to touch.

Fans should view this as an opportunity to begin a new era, rather than being annoyed by the lack of history. Caleb Williams hands the franchise a chance to set records and be a top contender.

The quarterback's elite arm and scrambling ability should take away any questions about his ability to age well. With this in mind, fans should be excited and expect the franchise record to begin to fall.

Caleb Williams has provided the team with a promising quarterback prospect and a roster that is ready to make meaningful progress. As long as he remains healthy, he will blow past the aforementioned numbers and have no problem ranking as a top-five quarterback all-time in both categories.

Bears pundit Jacob Infante pointed out the numbers that Williams needs to reach to rank top-five all-time in Chicago history. If he gets 3,127 passing yards this year, he'll already have the 5th-most yards in Bears history. If he throws 18 passing TDs, he'll already have the 5th-most TDs in team history.

The focus for the Bears is obviously winning, but having Williams set franchise records so early is a significant achievement. Chicago is relying on the presence of the franchise quarterback to keep them relevant and open up what should be a wide Super Bowl window.

The past quarterback frustrations shouldn't be harped on, but rather give fans more reason to appreciate the history they are watching as the Williams era has begun.
