Yahoo Sports NFL on Caleb Williams
From the article
He was the least accurate starting quarterback in the league last season by adjusted completion percentage (69.4%) which was lower than even J.J. McCarthy. PFF charted nearly 1 in 4 of Williams' passes (24.3%) last season as inaccurate and uncatchable, which ranked 40th of 43 quarterbacks charted.
STACKED’s take
Williams' accuracy and anticipation lag despite off-schedule talent; on-schedule improvement key to offense.
Williams showed off-schedule ability that led to his #1 overall draft status and a playoff hail mary against the Rams, but his on-schedule accuracy remains a concern. He ranked 40th of 43 quarterbacks in accuracy with 24.3% of passes charted as inaccurate/uncatchable (69.4% adjusted completion percentage, lowest among starting QBs). The core issue is processing and trust: Williams does not throw with anticipation and almost always needs to see receivers open before throwing, leading to ball placement away from defenders that sometimes results in inaccurate passes. His interception rate is among the league's lowest due to caution, but his turnover-worthy play rate is average. Whether he can improve his on-schedule ability and processing will determine if he and the Bears offense take another step forward.
