Drake Maye wins his first playoff game.

Caleb Williams wins his first playoff game.

A good time to share Part II of our series ahead of the 2025 NFL season.

Subscribers always knew “House of Dysfunction” was far more about the general manager (Ryan Poles) than the quarterback (Williams), and here’s why. We unlocked this piece for all to read.

Lends itself to a healthy discussion now, too. Poles did not foster an environment of real debate in draft meetings. It was Caleb all the way and that angered scouts and coaches.

Said one: “The Caleb Williams draft pick was the most embarrassing lack of a process — a fair, impartial process to scouting — that I’ve ever seen in my life."

The beauty of this sport? Everything is decided on the field. Bears fans are certainly pleased with the leap the USC QB has made in Year 2. Maye may win MVP. Both are alive with eight teams left.
