Grading Each NFL Rookie Quarterbacks Week 4 Performances

Caleb Williams: A-

Caleb Williams finally showed the growth Chicago fans have been begging for in this game. Caleb Williams looked like a different player in this game than what he had from weeks prior. Last week, I was very upset with his performance as he consistently forced the ball into bad situations and scrambled out of the pocket too much, which put his offensive line in bad situations. However, in this game, he stayed in the pocket and trusted his lineman which resulted in a lot more time for him to find an open target. Additionally, he found his check-down option a lot more which kept this offense ahead of the chains all game long. By staying ahead of the chains, it allowed for De’andre Swift and the Chicago Bears running game to get going as well. Although Caleb Williams didn’t have any earth-shattering stats or highlight plays in this game, his play was critical to Chicago winning this game against the Rams.

Jayden Daniels: B+

Jayden Daniels through the first four weeks of his career has been so incredibly efficient that he now holds the record for the highest completion percentage through four games with an 82.1% completion percentage. In this matchup, Daniels wasn’t asked to do as much as the Commanders rushing attack took off. Daniels was good with the opportunities that he had through the air as he managed to get 233 passing yards, 47 rushing yards, and 2 total TDs. However, he did throw his first interception of his career which is why he finds himself below Caleb Williams this week in the rookie quarterback rankings.

Bo Nix: D-

The only reason that Bo Nix did not get an F this week is because the Broncos won the game against the Jets. Through the first half, Bo Nix managed to throw 6/12 for -7 yards. I’m not even sure how that is possible. The Broncos rushing attack literally carried the Broncos offense all game long, outside of two big throws to Courtland Sutton that accounted for all of Bo Nix’s passing yards for the game. Major props to the Broncos' defense for locking down Aaron Rodgers and the Jets as Bo Nix and the Broncos somehow managed to come away from this game with a win on the road.
