How A 49ers Insider Used Caleb Williams To Cause Green Bay Fans Crashout
The Green Bay Packers have enjoyed a decisive superiority at quarterback for the past 30+ years. It started with Brett Favre in the 1990s and 2000s, then moved to Aaron Rodgers in the 2010s and early 2020s. However, things have changed recently. While Jordan Love has established himself as a quality quarterback as well, the Bears seem to have leveled the playing field with the arrival of Caleb Williams. In their five matchups against each other since the start of 2024, Williams holds a 3-2 edge.
Packers fans will argue that it doesn’t count because Love left two of those games with an injury. Yet when he had his best performance of the entire rivalry in the playoffs, Williams still beat him. Now it seems people from other fanbases are getting in on the discussion. Grant Cohn, an insider for the San Francisco 49ers and someone who has no love for Green Bay, decided to poke the bear with maximum effort. He came right out and said if the Packers had the option, they’d trade Love for Williams.
Caleb Williams is in their heads.
One look at the comment section tells you the story. Packers fans are sensitive about Love these days. While the starter has put up good numbers since taking over in 2023, he hasn’t won a division title. Williams has already done that. He also won their head-to-head showdown in the playoffs. So, hearing this statement about Green Bay quietly wishing they could swap quarterbacks must hit a nerve. One has the better stat line, but the other seems to have that ability to elevate his team in big moments.

| Passing TDs | 57 | 47 |

| 4th Quarter Comebacks | 4 | 8 |
Let’s also remember that Love had the benefit of easing his way into the league. He spent his first three years on the bench learning behind Rodgers. When he took over, he was immersed in the offense and ready to go. Caleb Williams had to play immediately as a rookie and was saddled with Matt Eberflus and Shane Waldron as his coaches. One is currently unemployed, and the other was given the honorary title of passing game coordinator by his buddy, Liam Coen, in Jacksonville.
Packers fans must accept reality.
Love is a good player. He’s not Favre or Rodgers. That has been made clear after watching him for three seasons. He is capable enough to win with, but won’t be a guy they win because of. Williams has already proven to be that type of player. Just look at the number of times he dragged the Bears out of the fire last season. Hell, he was doing it as a rookie, too. If Love wants to change the narrative, he must reassert dominance over the rivalry and win a championship.
That is what Favre and Rodgers did.
The problem is that those two never had to deal with a competent quarterback in Chicago. Favre faced guys like Steve Walsh, Erik Kramer, Jim Miller, Rex Grossman, and Kyle Orton. Rodgers had Jay Cutler, Mitch Trubisky, and Justin Fields. Caleb Williams has already proven superior to all those names, and he’s far from a polished product. Green Bay is finding out what life is like when things are on equal footing for the first time in decades, and they don’t like it.
