The showdown is happening at Soldier Field. So here
we go with Throwdown Thursday. One of those robots
is laying on the ground. Which one of your
answers will be that Caleb Williams and Matthew Stafford are
both coming off big time 4th quarter performances to help
their teams advance in the postseason. Both quarterbacks had
2 touchdowns while trailing in the final frame last week
, putting them in elite company. Williams was asked
yesterday about how he feels in high pressure situations.
I bet I could predict the answer, and it's
probably chilly. Feel calm in those moments, um
, I feel, um, you know, my
conditioning, um, is the best in those moments
. I feel, um. It's, I mean
, that's, that's really it. I mean,
I, I, I feel that. I'm the
best in those moments because of what I've prepared,
you know, to be in those moments. It's
execution. You've seen their, their team, they've
made plays really on, on in all three phases
to help them win those come from behind games.
Um, you gotta give them a lot of credit
. They've got a, a quarterback, a team
, a coach that all, uh, you know
, they believe in each other and, and,
um, as they should, they've proven it a
bunch of times this year. All right, Rashad
Jennings, here's the question. Who are you riding
with in this game this weekend, Matthew Stafford or
Caleb Williams? Oh, listen, this, this
one for me is easy. Give me Matthew Stafford
without a shadow of a doubt. But yes,
yes, Caleb Caleb Williams has done an excellent job
. Shout out to him. Uh, the,
the, the Bears organization still have yet to get
their 4000 yard passer, but how. Ever they
definitely got their franchise quarterback. Now, now moving
on to Matthew Stafford, the reason why now he
just did that interview, very, very diplomatic,
very PC, but don't forget this is the same
guy right here going against the Carolina Panthers that came
out in the huddle and said, let's go take
their hearts. He didn't say let's go get the
victory. The heart is the thing that gives you
hope for the next day, and he said,
let's go take it. He's the, he's up
for MVP. He's leading the league. League,
um, in the lowest interception ratio, he's passing
, everything. This guy has been special. He
has Puka Nakua, one of the best, if
not the best wide receiver playing right now, in
the, in the tandem right there with Devonte Adams
. If I have to pick my druthers, I'm
picking the same person who Sean Sean McVeigh is picking
, and even Ben Johnson is. Why? Because
he doesn't want him to have the ball at all
. So give me Matthew. Kyle, uh,
if you missed, uh, the first hour of
the show, Kyle made a prediction about how many
yards P Puka Nukua might have in this game.
How many was that? 800, 800 yards.
Channeling my inner Kenny May, he used to say
that's his 23rd home run, not in this game
, that would be a record. Uh, 800
yards in a game, yes, that would be
a playoff record, that would be a regular season
record. That would be a post, uh,
preseason record. Um, it, it, it's
, it's exaggerating to make a point that this Bears
secondary, like this, this is where something could
happen, not so great for the Chicago Bears.
Uh, so I'm, I'm gonna stick with Matthew
Stafford on this one. It's not a knock on
Caleb Williams at all. Uh, as a matter
of fact, what Caleb Williams was able to do
in the 4th quarter, I mean, those are
, he's making pro day throws. Remember, uh
, uh, Zach Wilson a couple of years ago
when he was able to do it his pro day
and the Jets were like, we need some of
that. Well, you also got to be a
good quarterback. Caleb Williams is now, uh,
combining that, his ability to make these throws that
are usually on air with no pads, with your
receiver and no defense out there, maybe with some
music going. Pro day, uh, he's doing
it with, with the pads on against the live
defense. It's unbelievable. Uh, so respect,
Caleb. I'm gonna rock with Matthew Stafford. I
mean, I'm rolling Matthew Stafford for the 1st 2.5
quarters, and then I'm going to Caleb, you
know, like it's, he's a different quarterback.
It's a different team. There's something about like when
the Bears are just about passed out, they get
slapped around and they do the boot and rally,
and like Caleb is the leader of that, and
I, so Stafford for 2.5, Caleb for 1.5 --> .
