Video: Bill Belichick Questions How Bears Built Roster Around Caleb Williams

Bill Belichick believes the Chicago Bears took the wrong approach when building their team around rookie quarterback Caleb Williams.

The former New England Patriots coach and new North Carolina coach said the Bears should have focused on the run game and pass protection to assist Williams before targeting receiving options.

"You go out, you draft a quarterback, you go out and acquire all these receivers and everything, but no running game, no pass protection, can't score," Belichick said on The Pat McAfee Show. "In a city where you know it's going to be tough to throw at the end of the season. Period. I just don't know if that's the way to put it together versus a team like Detriot, who went out and built the offensive line to go with a quarterback and then added the skill players."

Ahead of Williams' rookie season, the Bears ensured that he would have plenty of talented receivers to throw for. They already had DJ Moore and they brought in Keenan Allen through a trade with the Los Angeles Chargers before drafting wide receiver Rome Odunze with the ninth pick.

The only issue is that Williams doesn't have enough time in the pocket. He's been sacked 67 times this year, the most of any quarterback in the league. The quarterback closest to him is CJ Stroud, who has been brought down 52 times.

Williams has managed to put together a decent year, throwing for 3,393 yards, 19 touchdowns and six interceptions, but he'd likely be much more productive if he had better protection.
