Notre Dame fans who are also Bears fans are conflicted about Caleb Williams
The USC Trojans fell to Notre Dame, 48-20, on Saturday night. The sky is falling in Southern California, and Caleb Williams disappointed with three first-half interceptions against the Irish.
With all of the hype of Williams being the top pick in the 2024 NFL draft, Chicago Bears fans specifically took notice of his performance. Denver Broncos fans also have been pounding the table for Williams with the rough time Russell Wilson is having, but Caleb and the Bears became a hot topic after the loss on Saturday night.
Here are how Bears fans — many of whom are also Notre Dame fans — reacted to the poor performance by the reigning Heisman Trophy winner.
MANY ARE SAYING THIS
Interestingly, this is exactly what Caleb Williams might look like when he's the quarterback of the Bears

GROWING SENTIMENT
Caleb Williams already doing his best to prove he has what it takes to be the Bears QB1.

SO IGNORE SATURDAY
Bears need to clean house, and trade what they have for picks. You can end up with Caleb Williams and MHJ, in one draft. Reset your entire franchise

"Caleb Williams is definitely going to the Bears if he keeps playing well."

FIGHTING IRISH WIRE EDITOR WEIGHS IN:
Caleb Williams playing so far this evening on a crisp midwest night:
4.4 yards per attempt
2 picks
And playing behind an offensive line that is getting its ass beatGuy is legit already a Chicago Bear

THE O-LINE HAS TO BE GOOD IN CHICAGO
This USC offensive line giving Bears fans a good look at what a rookie Caleb Williams would look like in Chicago.

SKEPTICISM
This would be Caleb Williams’ average weekly stat line if the Bears drafted him. pic.twitter.com/ugypwHr9UX

THE OTHER SIDE
I hate to say it
I truly do
and not all of it is Justin Fields' fault
but it's officially Caleb Williams watch szn for the Chicago Bears

THIS IS A GOOD POINT
Caleb Williams is a very talented player regardless how he played tonight.
But Caleb Williams can’t solve all the Chicago Bears problems.
Stop believing there is a QB Jesus. He doesn’t exist. Even Mahomes needs a team and staff around him.

YES
Like it or not, if Caleb Williams is available, the Chicago Bears are taking him.
You can blame coaching, the OL, defense, etc.
But Justin having 1 good game for every 5+ bad games is not enough to keep his job.
Accept reality, guys.
