It’s so nice seeing you guys finally get some education on this.Wrong. It's comp picks that get GM's fired.

Please go read my previous post. I was directly responding to someone who 100% said that Pace was 100% to blame.
Please read my previous post. I said that he could be partially blamed. What are you arguing about?
Lol dude has led the nation in forced missed tackles 2 years in a row...again. He is totally different than Howard. His lateral quickness, stop and start on a dime is something Howard never possessed. Howard was a straight ahead power runner...I dont know hiw u can watch their tape and see similar runners. Like seriously how?
Howard
Montgomery
Any comparison would be Hunt or Bell. Hopefully he will ascend to those heights
IMO, Montgomery’s attractiveness for Pace/Nagy is what someone posted earlier: did not drop a pass in college, and a strong pass blocker. Not to mention he hardly ever goes down on first contact...
Username checks out.Part of this is losing Jordan Howard, but the other part is Pace feeling he needs to do something to move up and give away picks in the process. Wasted this years second since he had to have trick shoulder miller. Now it cost our 140th this year to get another guy like he could have gotten ( possible the same guy) because he feels he needs to make moves to show he is really trying

Howard had 5th most missed tackles in nation the year he was drafted. Not saying they are similar but not like Howard was falling down on first contact in college.
What am I missing here....Montgomery and Howard run nothing alike. Again Howard is a north/south runner, with a plant and go mentality....has a slight swivel. Montgomery bounces like a pinball and bursts ahead. I just posted their college highlights...they run nothing alike...he isnt as powerful as Howard, but does everything else better. Now will that translate to NFL success...we will see.
I think we get a coupla COMP pics next year anyway !!!!Montgomery is a great pick for Nagy's system of forcing the defense to protect the entire field. With defenses spread out he will be dangerous because he excels at making defenders miss. I am not too worried about break away speed as long as he is getting first downs. With Montgomery I can see the Bears average time of possession increase significantly -- which would be awesome for the defense we have.
Finally, as for the trade, the Bears still have the same number of picks this year and only lose one fourth next year -- which probably can easily be gained by a trade back of one of our seconds next year. Not worried about that at all. Pace gets Nagy his guy that will start day one and probably play 40% of snaps this year!
In the context of what the Bears are trying to do, Montgomery is an excellent pick!
Yeah and it is an open question as to whether DM can do that. Nagy obviously thinks so but proof will be on the field. His lack of explosion is definitely a concern and given we did not see a ton of it in college, whether he can run the advanced routes at RB that people knocked Howard for being incapable of running is also a question mark.
