As long as they continue to play well and contend as one of the best teams in the NFC, Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams is going to be a consistent topic of discussion.

For as good as a player as he is, Williams is also one of the most polarizing figures in the NFL, especially as he leads a team that has been starving for a franchise quarterback for years. Since his return to action after a hamstring injury, the Bears have not trailed in any of their four games with Williams under center, and they also lead the league in total time with a lead this season.

As Williams continues to grow under head coach Ben Johnson, the media is starting to realize just how much potential the young quarterback has, and what it could mean for the team's Super Bowl aspirations. Recently on "First Take," analyst Evan Cohen says Williams has the "IT factor" and that is why he's putting his trust in the Bears quarterback as the leader out of the NFC North.

"The answer is Caleb Williams," Cohen said. "Even though [Lions QB] Jared Goff has been there and done that, even though we have a quarterback in [Packers QB] Jordan Love who is playing better than anyone else right now, and we have a quarterback who is unbelievably experienced in [Vikings QB] Kirk Cousins, I just think Caleb Williams has got that it factor. I believe in his coach and his connection with his coach. I also believe there's a guy with big orange sleeves on defense, Jeffery Simmons, that is going to make Caleb Williams' life easier by being so great on defense. I will trust Caleb Williams in a big spot, and coming off a four-turnover game for him, five for the team, that makes me more impressed, they still won."

Many talking heads in the media have noted that Williams and the Bears ability as a team to overcome a five-turnover performance by the offense, and still beat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last week, could be a signature moment on the season. Williams' ability to not be held back from his costly mistakes and still engineer a game-winning drive is the maturation that has Cohen and others believing that the Bears may have a real superstar at quarterback.
