Chicago Bears’ Caleb Williams gets fitting new label before Week 6 matchup

You'd be hard-pressed to find an objective NFL fan who wouldn't say that Williams is having a better second season than Daniels.

Williams enters Week 6 with 927 passing yards and eight touchdowns. He's on pace to break the Chicago Bears' single-season passing yards and touchdowns records, and with a slight bump in per-game yardage, will be the first Bears quarterback to ever throw for more than 4,000 yards in a season.

As for Jayden Daniels, Bears coach Ben Johnson summed up the Williams vs. Daniels conversation perfectly this week.

"I thought it was a really strong class coming out. It's probably one of the stronger in recent history," Johnson said. "Caleb, obviously felt highly about him, that is part of the reason why I wanted to come here and I haven't been disappointed with him whatsoever. He continues to get better, elite arm strength, the ability to extend plays.

"I don't think a whole lot differently for Jayden. Jayden's an extremely accurate thrower of the football. Something that I think is overlooked when you look at him because he is so dynamic with his legs, and he hurts teams so much on the ground as well. I think there are probably a lot of similarities. I think these are two ascending quarterbacks in this league and I think we're going to be talking about them for a long time in the future."

Monday night is Round 2 of what's likely to be a long-running Caleb Williams and Jayden Daniels rivalry.
