There are several questions that need to be answered soon for the Chicago Bears<\/a> after a disastrous 0-2 start. From coaching, to the front office, to the players, there are reservations that this organization is heading in the right direction. However, one question that seems to be on the minds of some people is the idea that the Bears might bench quarterback Caleb Williams.<\/a> ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler goes into his thoughts<\/a> on whether that’s a possibility for the Bears.<\/p>\n

Possibility of the Bears Benching Caleb Williams?<\/h2>\n

Fowler notes that it won’t happen now, but if Williams doesn’t find his “footing” by Week 10, then does the question of benching him become valid?<\/p>\n

For one, Williams isn’t the reason why the Bears gave up 52 points to the Detroit Lions<\/a> in Week 2. Plus, he’s shown tremendous growth since his rookie season. Playing more in structure and getting the ball out quicker, he looks to be heading in the right direction.<\/p>\n
