Windy City Gridiron on Caleb Williams
From the article
For all Caleb Williams' brilliance in his third season with the Chicago Bears, the burgeoning star quarterback can still get that much better as a passer—a frightening prospect for the NFL, if you ask me. In particular, Williams' 58.1% completion percentage, a year after completing just 62.5% of his passes as a rookie, is due for an improvement in Year 3, which will mark his second under Ben Johnson.
STACKED’s take
Williams' completion rate poised for mid-60s with small adjustments; three more completions per game achievable.
Williams' 58.1% completion percentage in Year 3 is due for improvement after completing 62.5% as a rookie; the source notes that moving from a 60% to 70% passer requires only three additional completions per game (on ~30 attempts), a gap the source frames as achievable through small adjustments rather than wholesale overhauls. Williams had the third-highest bad-throw percentage among all quarterbacks last year but also led the league with 40 throwaways—a sign of growth—and suffered from the fourth-highest drop rate (5.5%) and 18 batted balls (second-most in NFL). Positive regression in these areas could push his completion rate into the mid-60s while maintaining explosive play generation; the source suggests this trajectory could lead to MVP-caliber performance.
