NFL analyst delivers brutally honest take on Bears QB Caleb Williams

It's been a challenging 2025 NFL season for Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams. One of the issues from the last campaign was the number of sacks that the USC product took last season, which was 68.

Despite the arrival of new head coach Ben Johnson, Williams continues to take sacks. Through two games, the Bears have allowed six sacks, the eighth most in the NFL, per StatMuse.

Chicago revamped their offensive line adding Joe Thuney, Drew Dalman, and Jonah Jackson. However, that hasn't fixed the sack problem so far this season. As a result, an NFL analyst believes that the situation won't get any better.

Can Caleb Williams improve his sack problem?

During an appearance on the "Dan Patrick Show," NFL analyst Ross Tucker didn't hold back on the sack problem that has carried over to this season for the Bears.

"He got sacked a lot at USC, got sacked a lot last year," Tucker said. "Guys don't usually fix that. They can get better at it. But if you're on a scale of 1-10, with 10 being you're the best at not taking sacks, if you're a one or a two, you can get to five or six. But those guys don't get to eight, nine, 10. They don't have that DNA."

If this issue continues, then Johnson will need to reflect whether Williams is the right quarterback for him. Moreover, the sack problem isn't the only issue that Tucker sees as a significant hurdle.

"Consistent decision-making issues, I would say. The way he handled the end of the game against the Lions on Thanksgiving, when the Bears were doing the right thing—call play, run the play, then you use the time out—he audibled, didn't realize why they were doing what they were doing, and then we ran out of time, and everybody blamed [Matt] Eberflus, and Eberflus knew he couldn't throw Caleb Williams' No. 1 pick under the bus.

"And then even just this stuff with he and his dad talking with Seth Wickersham and telling him how they tried to get out of there in Chicago—they didn't want to be there. I just would say, there's a lot of examples, even off the field, of questionable decision-making. When you stack all of them on top of each other, it starts to become concerning."
