Decades have passed since Michael Jordan ruled the NBA and made Chicago the center of attention. It’s been years since the Chicago Cubs claimed the World Series, and the Chicago White Sox have also been struggling at the bottom for quite some time.
The Chicago Blackhawks enjoyed some successful years, but hockey doesn’t have the same level of popularity as other sports. This is why Caleb Williams could not only become the first truly great quarterback in the long history of the Chicago Bears remarkable for a team that’s been around for over a century but also become the symbolic figure of the Windy City. At least, that’s the current perspective of Colin Cowherd
Speaking on The Volume, the well-known commentator suggested that Williams might be the savior for a city in desperate need of a standout star. He’s spot on. It’s surprising that Derrick Rose might be considered the last genuine superstar in Chicago, given the city’s passion for sports. Much of the blame for this could be attributed to the Reinsdorf.
The White Sox and Bulls have been underperforming for years, opting to save money rather than bringing in high-profile players to one of the greatest sports cities in the world. Chicago’s passion for the Bears is immense, and if Williams lives up to the hype, he could quickly become a dominant figure in the city. Bears fans have endured much over the years, and they deserve a star player to bring them relief after so many seasons of disappointment and mediocre performances.
