Dear Caleb Williams, if you want to be the Chicago Bears' quarterback next season, you're going to need some PR training. This means that if someone asks you who your football GOAT (greatest of all time) is, you don't say that.
“Football, winning and things like that, mentality, [it’s] Tom Brady. “My football GOAT is Aaron Rodgers,” Williams told CBS Sports.
Wrong answer. You should say: Sid Luckman, Jay Cutler, Erik Kramer and Jim McMahon. Of course I'm joking. Hopefully Williams can place under or even above these names if the Bears select him in the 2024 NFL Draft.
He's not wrong either. To be fair, Rodgers is one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time (sorry). He has thrown for a total of 59,055 yards (9th all-time) and 475 touchdowns (5th all-time) in his career. Rodgers is a four-time MVP, 10-time Pro Bowler, four-time All-Pro and Super Bowl champion. In the 2010/11 season he defeated the Bears to reach this spot.
Rodgers is a Bears killer. He is 24-5 against them in his career. He threw for nearly 7,000 yards, 64 touchdowns and 10 interceptions against the Bears. He also has a passer rating of 109 against them.
You still have a lot to learn, Caleb, if you want to be a Chicago Bear. That's your first lesson: despise Aaron Rodgers.
