Caleb Williams threw a four-interception game in the Chicago Bears’ win against the Buccaneers, but there’s another quarterback who worries Cam Newton more.
For most of his career, Caleb Williams has been a reliable player for the Chicago Bears, and he’s currently the linchpin of the team that is setting the pace in NFC North.

By his usual standards, Williams had a poor game against the Buccaneers, and he can count himself lucky that he still ended up on the winning side.
However, the quarterback who worries Cam Newton isn’t Williams, who had just a one-game glitch.
Cam Newton worried about Baker Mayfield
Baker Mayfield has come a long way from being the saviour of Cleveland, and he’s now reaching a point where the Bucs want an investment on their return from him.
The current season is Mayfield’s fourth with the team, and during that span, the peak came in the first two, and there have been struggles since.
The last season was particularly difficult for him, and this one hasn’t been any different, if anything, he’s regressed even more from an already poor last year.

After coming up against Caleb Williams and having an underwhelming game in the loss to the Bears, Cam Newton is officially more worried about Mayfield than he is about Williams.
He said [via 4th&1 with Cam Newton]: “But as far as Caleb Williams, those games happen. I’m more concerned about Baker Mayfield, man. I don’t think he’s had a game this year, ever since signing that contract, where it just made sense for that deal to get done.
“Anybody who loses confidence in Caleb Williams with tonight’s performance, you don’t know football. You can’t sit up here, and I’ve always criticised coaches for this, you can’t sit up here and lose faith in a person when there are times when I’ve made more plays from broken plays than bad plays from broken plays.”
The Bucs have won just three of their nine games this season, and need Mayfield to recapture his good form to start climbing up the table.

As it stands, this move to the Bucs has not helped anyone, the team or the player.
