Summary

ESPN's Seth Walder ranked the top-100 players in t he NFL and had one very notable omission...leaving Chicago Bears QB Caleb Williams OFF the list! Should Caleb's QBR really prevent him from being a top-100 player after leading the team to an 11-6 record AND a playoff win? And is CJ Stroud really better than Caleb, let alone by such a large margin? #chicagobears #nfl #nfltop100 #beardown #bearsnation Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

0:00.0	ESPN decided to rank the 100 most valuable players in the NFL this year.
0:06.9	And what he means by that is like MVP candidates.
0:09.6	So 100 players in the league for MVP.
0:16.0	And he caused quite a stir among Bears fans.

0:51.9	but he was 16th in QBR, despite great pass protection,
0:55.6	a great running game,
0:57.4	and an elite play designer.
1:00.4	Also, he was dead last in off-target rate
1:03.1	and completion percentage over expected.
1:06.9	According to next-gen stats,
1:08.3	those numbers don't scream top half quarterback.
1:13.7	So, Stephen, if you could put the camera on me, like this is going to be exhausting all offseason.
1:22.1	Like the nitpicking.
1:26.1	But here's, I'm going to come at this actually more of an analytics standpoint.
1:31.4	Because you guys know this.
1:33.4	I mean, everybody on this set and you guys in the chat also get annoyed with how many times I use the letters EPA every week. My wife gets annoyed with how many times I use the letters, EPA, every week.
1:44.3	My wife gets annoyed with how many times I say EPA.
