Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams had just won his first NFL game in nearly three months. After his exit interview at Halas Hall, he was preparing to pack up his belongings and head home for what he hopes will be a productive offseason after his rookie year.

Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson has been one of the hottest names on the coaching market after becoming a vital piece in the NFC North team's scheme, so it would seem quite realistic that he would be a proper fit as the next Chicago head coach.

Williams still is the best quarterback prospect the Bears have ever had, but his rookie season also made it clear that it will take a lot of expert coaching for him become the championship-caliber quarterback the Bears think they have.

Bears general manager Ryan Poles disagrees that the team wasted Caleb Williams's rookie season after a disappointing end.

Williams was thought to be walking into a uniquely advantageous situation for a first-round pick, but it turned out to be fool's gold. Now he must find a way to use the misfortune and missteps to make himself better.
