FIRST TAKE | "Caleb Williams is already playing like a superstar" - Shannon on Bears win over Titans

or intelligence is the key to unlocking our for a more perspective on these rookie QBs we bring in our seasoned QB Tim Hasselbeck and let's start with Caleb Williams uh he only completed 14 passes less than 100 yards struggle maybe putting it lightly why do you think it was so difficult in his deut that's a good question Michael I think the reason was probably just bad in totality was because got off to a bad start and I thought from that point really never felt like he was able easy throws and so I think the best way I could describe it is that just it looked like he was playing uphill the entire game and um you know sometimes as a quarterback probably like a basketball player seeing you know a foul shot go you know you know go through the hoop uh he just never had those moments to try to get himself on track yeah but if you're a Bears fan and you're starting quarterback struggle like that and you still get the win obviously you're still hopeful that he can only get better for him going forward let's go out to Denver with Bo Knicks look he kept them in the game but he he threw a lot of passes but if you put them all together not a lot of yards 138 yards on 26 passes what about his debut stood out to you yeah I would say this I thought he had the toughest task of any of the rookies you know going to Seattle you know defenses are usually ahead of offenses early in the season and I think you're asking for some bad things to happen which they clearly did now I would say for him probably the building block for him is some of the things that he was able to do just moving around you know did run the ball um you know a couple times well and I think that's something that they'll build on in Denver hey he looked good in the preseason he earned that starting job no question about it but again it's just week one and you'll see maybe what Shawn pton does with him going forward so if Broncos fans can have a little more confidence about what's going to happen uh much more from Tim Hasselback coming up a little bit later here on Sports Center coming up next passes one you slip and still was able to get it out there right in stride in the Bread Basket goddamn arm strong as hell oh yeah um Rich only completed nine passes oo for 212 yards he was nine of 19 that's crazy but like I said once he once he develop a little touch oo yeah he gonna be all right C that kid hey that kid got that young man got an arm I mean he can make every Thro just a little touch you don't have to throw everything through an eye of a cur kanane you gonna be fine I I mean I like him I like him a lot Caleb Williams be became the first uh number one overall quarterback to win his career start since David Carr won way back in 20 yep yeah uh come from behind win he was the first to win his debut David Carr in 2002 but he didn't look that he didn't look that comfortable loo I mean they they they won the game hey he would run around he was running around for his life too now yeah he would running around for his life just say I know what that feels like yeah I I forgot I forgot the stat they didn't I don't think he had 100 yards passing he he didn't he didn't have um he didn't throw a touchdown he had he was 14 of 29 for 93 yards yeah uh they got a block pun for a touchdown they got a pick six for a touchdown and they got another they got another turtle will l through he should he shouldn't have done that many you heard me say don't make a don't make a bad play worse take the sack son yeah yeah he was trying to make he made it happen for the Bears you see that's what he wanted you say he wanted try to make something happen he made it happen for the Bears yeah he he wanted that he wanted that uh the Bears won the game despite generating 148 yards of total offense special team they had three field goals by CYO Santos uh a block punt uh that safy Jonathan Owens and a pick six uh look he won um I think Kyler Murray in his rookie season I think he tied in was 2019 2019 I think 2019 2020 when they tied uh I think they tied Detroit but all the rest of the number one overall picks quarterbacks have lost in between 20 2002 in 2024 and Caleb Williams and David Carr were the only two to win wi number one overall draft picks yeah um so give give him credit for that they they were able to pull this off Chicago's defense looked really really good very that defense looked really really good um you know he missed Keenan Allen he had Keenan Allen for a touchdown he overshot Keenan Allen Caya Williams there Keenan Allen dropped one too now yeah look look out right right in the in zone but uh they they'll get it fixed they they they'll get that uh uh get that uh uh comfortable and uh but Caleb Williams wins his debut oh Cho three years after kred Lamar guested during the Dr Dre Super Bowl halftime performance he'll headline his own halftime show at Super Bowl 59 in New Orleans rap music is the most impactful genre today and I'll Be There To Remind the world why Lamar said in the statement they got the right one how they not at Lil Wayne got a h look congratulations Kendrick congratulate listen congratulation Kendrick hey a phenomenal talent but how you in New Orleans and don't have don't have we on that thing yeah I I I don't I don't understand it I don't understand it at all um when it comes to people that headline the Super Bowl I always think about who has the visibility and can can can be relatable to all demographics that are going to be watching um and that first thing I thought was well it's in it's in New Orleans I mean a no-brainer from a business standpoint L Wayne it just made sense so I mean Kendrick Lamar based on what he's done his accolades and and him being on the run that you know he's been on this year I kind of understand it I get it I get it and I I think I think Kendrick Kendrick Lamar will probably right and have a feature or have Lil Wayne as well I'm I'm thinking I mean I'm just throwing that out there but you got it you got it look come on oo it's just like how you gonna come to LA and not have Snoop Dog how you gonna come and you don't have Dre right and so I mean they had Mary J blig up there she and they had M but you can't come to New Orleans yeah a lot of people say look no matter what you think L Wayne probably he a top five here in my top five yeah a lot of people got as the goat and for him not look I look you know a lot of people I saying with Jay-Z responsible this because you know they allow Jay-Z to pick like who's gonna be there but Lil Wayne got to be there in some capacity right now whether or not he you know he gotta be he gotta be oo yeah does Jay-Z have anything to do with that yeah I I didn't I I didn't know that I didn't know that um damn I ain't even know that man I feel bad because I know he wanted it too oh yeah I spoke I'm I'm just saying I'm just I'm just talking like know him a little bit when I I used to see him a lot more used to talk to him a lot more when I was at FS1 um don't really talk to him that much now but I know that would have meant the world world to him yeah yeah yeah time show to have that kind of ey that kind of visibility at at home at home at that yeah at home damn so all right oo now it's time one of these days we gonna get back to spello and uh dunk up we get it's gonna be it's gonna be hard it's gonna be
