Williams could be Fields Redux. He has the same strengths and the same weaknesses.

To me it’s 50/50, but worth a shot because Fields needs the change of scenery. He wasn’t going to get to The Promised Land with the Bears and should have sat for a couple of years after he was drafted. The problem is that Williams is going to be in the exact same situation. But he’s certainly got the physical tools like Fields does, so at a minimum he’s not a downgrade.


As I recall Fields was supposed to sit for a year

But the Red Rifle went down and the plan for an apprenticeship went awry. Not sure it would have made any difference. Fields did have chances to sit and observe over his time with the Bears, and it didn't seem to change his fundamental challenge with seeing the field, seeing the defense, anticipating breaks and throwing into open windows.... and doing all of these things quickly, in rhythm. Maybe it will all click someday given time to watch and learn, and maybe Wilson will help with that. But I doubt it.
It baffled me how the Bears thought that Fields

could learn much from Dalton. It wasn't exactly Rodgers learning from Favre and Love learning from Rodgers.
