Speaking on First Take, Stephen A. Smith goes as far as to say that he believes Caleb Williams will win a Super Bowl with the Chicago Bears.“I’m a huge Caleb Williams fan. I believe he’s gonna win a Super Bowl for y’all one day. I’m dead serious about that, and I believe he is the greatest quarterback in the history of the Chicago Bears right now. Right now. The brother’s special.”It seems like a crazy statement to say, regarding Williams already being the greatest quarterback in the history of the Chicago Bears, but even if there’s some disagreement, he’s definitely on track to become the greatest QB in Bears history.“It’s how we want to look each week,” Williams said after the game against Carolina. “And that doesn’t just happen. It happens over time. It happens through training camp, OTAs. It happens through the week of preparation that we have. It happens with having open communication throughout the week about what works, what doesn’t work.””I’m a huge Caleb Williams fan. I believe he’s gonna win a Super Bowl for [the Bears] one day.” @stephenasmith is all in on Chicago’s QB1 🙌 pic.twitter.com/NTi7aTZ60M— First Take (@FirstTake) September 16, 2026Vikings DC Brian Flores Comments on Williams Ahead of Week 2 MatchupGettyEAGAN, MINNESOTA – MAY 27: Defensive Coordinator Brian Flores of the Minnesota Vikings looks on duri
