Yahoo Sports The Bears might bench Caleb Williams for Tyson Bagent because of their offensive struggles
Never in a million years would you think a team with both Caleb Williams and Tyson Bagent on their roster would consider playing Bagent over Williams. Not even for a second.
The Chicago Bears might be that one-in-a-million team.
It's no secret that Chicago has struggled recently. The Bears have lost three straight games since starting the year 4-2 and have only scored 27 points over the last three weeks. That includes the lifeless game Chicago just played against the Patriots.
One would think the team might not overreact to this admittedly awful stretch after Chicago's start to the season. You'd also like to think they'd be completely committed to the guy they drafted as their franchise quarterback.
Unfortunately, that may not be the case. ESPN's Adam Schefter is reporting that Chicago is considering benching Williams for Bagent.

Let me be clear: Caleb has been really bad since the bye week, but if this organization pins the struggles on this kid, I will have a meltdown. pic.twitter.com/6WSJmzUXNU— Harrison Graham (@HGrahamNFL) November 11, 2024
“I would expect that they’ll be some sort of change in Chicago on the offensive side of the football. Is that changing the play caller? Is that changing the quarterback and benching Caleb Williams for Tyson Bagent? I think all these things are being discussed in the building today.”
There you have it, folks. It's not definite that this will happen, but it sounds like it's legitimately being discussed. That fact alone is pretty shocking.
We'll see what the Bears ultimately choose to do when the time comes.
