Chicago Bears: former NFL general manager explains why he can’t put Caleb Williams over Jordan Love

The Chicago Bears, led by quarterback Caleb Williams, went 11-6 in 2025. They won the NFC North, split the regular season series with the Green Bay Packers 1-1, and knocked their hated rivals out of the NFL Playoffs in the Wild Card round.

This off-season, both Williams and Packers quarterback Jordan Love have been vying for positioning on various top-ten lists. Some publications rank Green Bay’s quarterback higher while others believe Williams is the superior talent.

On the “Pat McAfee Show” today, one former NFL general manager revealed why he believes Love and the Packers are still better than Williams and the Bears.

Mike Tannenbaum explains why he would not take Caleb Williams and the Chicago Bears offense over Jordan Love and the Packers

“I think to be an elite quarterback, you have to be able to throw at a much higher completion percentage. I think Caleb Williams has a chance to be a superstar.

“But when you’re under 60%, which he was last year, that is a concern. So I worked with Ben Johnson in Miami, I think he’ll get there. But I would take Jordan Love and that Packers offense over this Bears offense.

“[Williams] has to learn how to get the ball out of his hands, hit the checkdown, hit the singles and doubles, then goes make plays that very few people can.

“So I think it’s a step in the right direction, but I think they’re a year away from being a year away.”

Last season, Williams had a 58.1% completion percentage. Both he and Ben Johnson have addressed that issue this off-season, saying that it has been an area of focus as they prepare for the 2026 NFL season.

If Williams can lead the Bears offense in convincing fashion while out-playing and out-producing Love this season, there will not be much room for debate over who is better.
