Caleb's Close-Up: Volume IV, Under Pressure
Briefly

Caleb Williams, the quarterback for the Bears, endured a staggering 68 sacks last season, showcasing a critical issue with the offensive line. Analysis reveals that no specific position is solely accountable for this failure, as most contributed to the pressure he faced. Williams' inability to effectively evade pressure is concerning, with 28% of his pressures resulting in sacks—well above the league average. Comparatively, elite quarterbacks like Patrick Mahomes and Lamar Jackson managed to keep their pressure rates from translating to sacks, indicating a need for Williams to improve his awareness and escape tactics.
Williams’ high rate of pressure making its way to sacks, especially at 28% which is 9% above average, highlights a significant area for improvement.
The overall data indicates a lack of individual positional strengths; players in several positions contributed to Williams' high pressure rates.
Despite being pressured just as often as some elite QBs, Williams couldn’t convert those situations into success like Mahomes or Jackson could.
A more in-depth analysis helps pinpoint that multiple factors contribute to a struggling offensive line, rather than attributing it solely to one or two players.
