pace isnt going anywhere.
pace isnt going anywhere.
Pace is unlikely to see this through, but he will be credited with building the necessary foundation for the Bears going forward. Just like most teams that go on runs, it starts with the GM that was just recently fired. Just like with the Blackhawks, Stan Bowman gets all the credit, but it really was Dale Tallon that put the pieces in place.
You can criticize Pace without wanting him fired.
He deserves critiscm. He deserves to have his flaws pointed out. You can bitch about shitty moves.
I think Pace deserves to take some heat, but I also think he deseves 2 ore years to see this Trubisky thing through.
There is zero ambiguity to the fact only 4 players remain on the team Ryan Pace inherited. That is exactly what is meant by blowing up a team's roster. This is why people expecting this team to be far along already is beyond unrealistic. It was a complete team rebuild from the ground up. Its going to take time.
Wow. I've seen stupid fans before but holy fuckin' shit, the stupid is out of control here.EXACTLY
Problem is, people expect every new name to be not only a starter but "impact player", "difference maker", or whatever subjective term fans like to argue about. Simply getting solid starters is what's needed plus a few all-stars on each side of the ball.
- Some bitch at any acquisition that doesn't pan out, even if it's due to uncontrollable injury.
- Others bitch that a guy was overpaid. Misses happen on every team.
- Still further (the worst) are those who bitch when a FA leaves or isn't brought in when the cost was far too high AND they simply didn't want to join/stay on a team in a rebuild.
Even the above won't matter if 1/3 the starting roster is on IR and the coaching sucks. Both of those will change this off-season. Like you said, time.

No one is invulnerable to criticism in the NFL no matter how secure their job may be. Lets be real here.
The only thing being said here is that Pace's vision of the rebuild isn't complete and I would for the love of god like to see it to completion. This isn't baseball or basketball where you can rebuild in a few years. Simply by virtue of the fact there are far less players to have to replace in a rebuild in those sports. Football is an unforgiving sport where if you blow a team up you're in for a cruel realization that there is going to be some real shit football ahead of you. Compound that with the Special person amounts of injuries to this team and well you see what is before you at this moment.
For better or worse it seems ownership and upper management are going to see it through. For once in my lifetime I actually think the Bears might be doing what is necessary. Even when its hurting their bottom line and pissing off fans. Where I truly believe they went wrong though was in not being transparent about it. They could have just as easily announced the Ryan Pace signing and let him tell the media that this team was about to undergo a complete overhaul and that the product on the field was going to become worse before it could ever get better. That would have still pissed off fans and some season ticket holders but at least it would have put everyone in the right frame of mind with regard to the direction the team was headed and that this thing was for the long haul.
As I have said before multiple times though, check my pulse on Pace after this coming free agency and draft. Its going to be a hyper critical off-season for him with regard to just how much this team is going to progress.
The only ones who need too have it justified to them are the McCaskeys.I wouldnt be up in arms if this happens but i do think it would be a hard move to justify when the NFL landscape views the Bears as just as much of an irrelevance as it was three years ago and Pace has 12 wins in 3 years. You can only say rebuild, and the results will come so many times.

When you blow up a roster, do you blow it up just for the sake of blowing it up or should you replace a player with someone who you deem to be better? With only 4 people remaining, the roster is completely Paces and we should be better than we were in 2015.
If only you understood that you can't simply replace every player with better talent right away. Drafted players take time to develop. Top FAs cost a TON of money, plus you need to make sure they are the right fit for your team and scheme to have success.
And finally....NOT EVERY PLAYER BROUGHT IN HAS TO BECOME AN ALL-PRO TO BUILD A QUALITY NFL TEAM!!!!!!!

Rebuilds in NFL are quicker than MLB and NBA. it took the cubs a few years to become a playoff team again. It took the bulls 7 years after MJ retired to return to the playoffs. The 6ers are just now finishing the "process". The NFL rebuilds are quick. You can usually go to the playoffs year two or three.
