Hour 1:  Kap & J. Hood discussed the NFL top QB's, who's Better Than Caleb Williams and where does he rank?  In all likelihood, Caleb is not going to get 4,000 yards this year. He needs to get 850 yards in 3 games, which certainly can be done, but Caleb has never gone on a pace that torrid. Does getting a 4,000 yard passer really matter if you know the QB is good?

At this point: is there any reason to think the Bears aren't winning the division? Caleb Williams had a spectacular day against one of the NFL's best defenses, going for nearly 250 yards in the air with 2 TDs and 0 INTs. He also set a record for the fewest interceptions by any QB through their first 1,000 passes.
