Is Caleb Williams even capable of running an NFL offense? and the Minnesota QB conundrum

Subscribe to inside coverage

After a truly hideous and miserable Thursday Night Football game between the Seattle Seahawks and Chicago Bears, both franchises are left with questions at the QB position. For Chicago, Caleb Williams struggles to hold on to the football for too long and often neglects the easy play in favor of the dramatic play. Can the Bears organization count on him to execute their offense, regardless of who is hired as head coach? Meanwhile, in Seattle, Geno Smith has been good but not great all season long. Is it time to get out of our inconsistency? And if so, is there even a quarterback worth trading? Jason Fitz, Charles Robinson, and Frank Schwab answer these questions and more in their analysis of the game.

In this week’s QB Room, C Rob examines the quarterback situation in Minnesota with Sam Darnold and JJ McCarthy. Will the Vikings franchise Sam Darnold and start McCarthy in light of his unexpected success this season? Or should they let Darnold walk away and fully commit to McCarthy while he’s still on his rookie contract?

To wrap things up, the trio react to Aaron Rodgers’ comments that the Jets need to be “professional” and discuss whether it’s fair for him to call out the Jets when he mishandled the preseason and minicamps.
