FS1 Host Declares Caleb Williams "Good," Dismisses Bust Narrative

As the Chicago Bears look ahead to the 2025 NFL season, there has been significant scrutiny surrounding quarterback Caleb Williams and his ability to build on a promising rookie campaign. However, one prominent media personality has come to the defense of the 23-year-old signal-caller, dismissing any "bust" narratives.

In a recent episode of "The Herd" on FS1, host Danny Parkins stated that the idea of Williams being a bust is "off the table" and that he is simply "good." Parkins acknowledged that while Williams was not "great" in his debut season, the young quarterback has shown enough promise to silence any doubters.

One of the key areas of focus for Williams this offseason has been reducing the high number of sacks he took in 2024. Parkins noted that the 68 sacks Williams endured last year are "not sustainable," given his mobile playing style and tendency to improvise. Additionally, the host highlighted the learning curve Williams faced in transitioning from the college game to the professional level, suggesting that the quarterback's understanding of what it takes to succeed on Sundays has improved.

As the Bears prepare to kick off the 2025 campaign, Parkins believes that Williams is poised to take a significant step forward. With a new offensive system under head coach Ben Johnson, the young quarterback will have the opportunity to showcase his skills and silence any remaining critics who may have doubted his ability to thrive in the NFL.
