No. 1 overall draft pick and Chicago Bears rookie quarterback Caleb Williams has struggled out of the gate, completing just 56.1 percent of his passes for 267 yards and two interceptions (no touchdowns) through two games.

However, the immensely talented, high-potential signal-caller has only played eight quarters, and he likely has plenty of good football ahead. In the meantime, Bears head coach Matt Eberflus revealed to reporters what the message is to the ex-USC star.

"Just be steady," Eberflus said (h/t Josh Schrock of NBC Sports Chicago). "The NFL, if you want to ride the roller coaster, you can, but you don't have to. You have to be steady. You have to make sure that you're playing and you're processing and those things are coming together."

Eberflus added: "Caleb is 22 years old and going through this for the first time, and he's learning that process. He's got a good plan. He just has to stick to it, go about your business. You can listen to this, that, or the other thing. You can't listen to the outside noise. You have to be right, do right and you'll get the right result. He's doing that."

It's not uncommon for rookie quarterbacks who eventually turned into stars to struggle out of the gate. Examples include Peyton and Eli Manning, Terry Bradshaw, Troy Aikman and Donovan McNabb, among many others. Not everyone can be Patrick Mahomes, who won an NFL MVP in his first full year as a starter.

Plus, Williams is dealing with a struggling pass-protection unit, especially in Week 2 during a 19-13 loss to the Houston Texans. Schrock provided more detail:

"He played much better in Week 2 but was the victim of a porous Bears' offensive line that allowed him to be sacked seven times and pressured on 23 of 48 dropbacks against the Houston Texans, per Next Gen Stats. The Bears' offensive line ranks 30th in pass-block win rate through two weeks, per ESPN stats."

Ultimately, there's no reason for anyone in Halas Hall (or Bears fans) to press the panic button. For now, Williams and the 1-1 Bears are focused on getting back over .500 when they visit the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday at 1 p.m. ET.
