Bears QB Caleb Williams: I have faith in GM Ryan Poles to get team turned around

Bears quarterback Caleb Williams said he has faith that general manager Ryan Poles to help turn the franchise around.

“You see how much he cares about the right things, that being us and our development and all those things …” Williams said Thursday after a Bears walk-through. “The amount that he cares about us, the Chicago Bears and wanting to win is why my faith is in him. Believing in him and making sure we get it right. That’s the short answer to it.”

Poles used the No. 1 overall pick on Williams in April.

“I think he’s done a good job,” Williams said.

The Bears are in the midst of a seven-game losing streak, though, something Williams admitted was difficult for him to deal with. He said he’s asked teammates who have been in similar slumps for ways to cope.

“There’s belief, hope and faith that we’re gonna get this right, however it may happen,” he said.

Last week, president/CEO Kevin Warren said Poles would be the "point person" for the team's coaching search. Warren will be heavily involved, too.

"Ryan Poles is the general manager of the Chicago Bears and he will remain the general manager of the Chicago Bears," Warren said. "Ryan is young. He’s talented. He’s bright. He’s hard-working. He has done everything in his power on a daily basis to bring a winner to Chicago. And I’m confident in Ryan. My faith remains strong in Ryan."
