Ben Johnson’s blunt, accountability-first Bears era opens with a hard truth: Caleb Williams is expected to complete 70% of passes, a target Williams himself admitted he may not yet meet (around 55% in camp). The approach emphasizes precise execution over style points, confronting missteps quickly and building trust through clear, direct feedback.

Johnson aims for a bold, relationship-driven offense that rejects ambiguity. A Starbucks chat with Williams in spring signaling a strong QB-coach bond, plus relentless honesty on the practice field, sets the stage for a potential NFC North breakthrough if the tempo and accuracy improve as promised.
