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

Negative signalProjection

Williams' accuracy issues and lack of anticipation limit 2025 upside despite improved sack rate.

Williams was the least accurate starting quarterback in the league last season by adjusted completion percentage (69.4%), lower than J.J. McCarthy; PFF charted nearly 1 in 4 of his passes (24.3%) as inaccurate and uncatchable, ranking 40th of 43 quarterbacks. He does not throw with anticipation and almost always needs to see his receiver open before throwing, suggesting issues with trust, read of defense, or both. While he improved his pressure-to-sack ratio dramatically from 3rd worst his rookie season (27.8%) to 3rd best last season (9.6%), his ability to improve on-schedule accuracy will determine whether he and the Bears offense can take another step forward.
