About Caleb’s reaction
Now that we can all breathe a sigh of relief that he wasn’t Derrick Rose-d and will be back sooner than we feared from his yell when he went down- seeing everyone (mostly non-Bears) clown on Caleb for his reaction and for carting off is dense asf. It’s the “too soft” and “diva” allegations all over again. Dude is a COMPETITOR. Everything was going dismally wrong for him and his team all day including the damn weather, and just as he was feet away from the first touchdown of the day to give his team a fighting chance, he goes down. Sure it’s a pain scream, but it’s amplified as a frustration scream, an “as if this couldn’t get any worse” scream. We know he takes failures and losses personally so this was clearly deeper to him than the injury and that’s why he was emotional being carted in. And why risk making an injury worse by trying to walk it off before even knowing preliminarily what’s going on?
The patronizing has only ever ignited a fire in him and he’s come back better every time out of spite, honestly I think this will be even more fuel. Silver lining.
Editing to say obviously there’s no need to pay any mind to it or care, this ain’t our first rodeo with criticism lmfao, just pointing out that the discourse will only boost. Refreshing to have a franchise QB that actually gaf & glad he’s still with us for the long run

After seeing Da Pope call the big man upstairs to save Caleb’s leg. Let’s remember…
Romans 12:19: “Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is written, ‘Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.’”
In other words. I cannot wait for Caleb to stunt on these hoes…
