Bears QB Caleb Williams is a rising star, but this issue is preventing him from reaching his ceiling

"I just have to give my guys a shot in that situation," Williams said of the throw in a postgame news conference. "I haven't gone back and watched it yet. But I ended up dirting the ball. Didn't get my legs into it. And I just have to put the ball in the end zone in that moment."

Are Caleb Williams' accuracy problems fixable? 

Accuracy is a common problem for many QBs early in their careers. Bills eighth-year QB Josh Allen completed 56.3 percent of his passes in his first two seasons with Buffalo. 

He has since overhauled his throwing motion and become one of the more accurate passers in the NFL. This season, he ranks third in the league in completion percentage (69.3 percent).

Williams would clearly benefit from tweaking his throwing motion. He could also stand to throw the ball faster. Per Pro Football Focus, he's averaging 3.25 seconds to throw, the second-worst mark in the league behind Cleveland Browns rookie QB Shedeur Sanders (min. 138 dropbacks). 

Williams often scrambles, generating many exciting plays, but that's one reason he holds the ball, which forces him to make more challenging throws. Scrambling less could solve that problem. 

If Williams improves his accuracy, look out. He could begin to emulate his favorite player, Pittsburgh Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers.

"That was like an Aaron Rodgers play there," NBC analyst Cris Collinsworth said after Williams threw a 36-yard TD pass to rookie tight end Colston Loveland in the second quarter against San Francisco.

Four-time league MVP Rodgers has completed 65.1 percent of his passes in 21 seasons with the Green Bay Packers, New York Jets and Steelers. Williams must become a precise passer, like his "football GOAT." It's one of the few holes in his game, and if he solves it, he could reach his ceiling.
