MIAMI—Crediting general manager Ryan Pace for playing an instrumental role in advancing his career, Super Bowl champion Patrick Mahomes thanked the Chicago Bears Sunday for selecting Mitchell Trubisky instead of him in the 2017 NFL Draft. “I would’ve never had this opportunity to compete for a championship if I had ended up on the Bears,” said Mahomes during a post-game interview, expressing his gratitude to the Chicago franchise for sparing him from years of mediocrity and career frustration. “There were some tense moments on draft day when it looked like I might be headed to Chicago, but luckily God had other plans for me. Instead of lifting this trophy, I could be languishing at the bottom of the NFC North and running for my life after every snap behind a terrible offensive line. I’m so glad I get to throw to Tyreek (Hill) and Sammy (Watkins) my whole career instead of whoever the hell is on the Bears.” Mahomes added that he only hopes all the current Bears players get as lucky as he did.

We still have posters clinging to 2017 draft grades in defense of Pace.

Those don't mean anything in a draft where there is no clear consensus top pick for QB. You wouldn't be able to find somewhere that had *Mahomes rated over Watson yet Watson was taken after him + Sean Payton said in early 2018 the saints were planning to take Patrick Mahomes #11 overall.

 

[WestCoastBearsFan]

The onion is great.

 

[sevvy]

Even The Onion knows that the Bears are just offensively Special person and players are blessed when we pass on them. Lol.

 

[Monster]

Lol... Houston wishes they drafted Pat.
Along with 26 other teams.

Literally no one was taking mahomes in the top 5.

There wasn't a clear consensus QB, you're right, but it was never Mahomes who was in debate as that guy. It was always Watson vs. Mitch.

And if we had Watson we maybe win the superbowl in 2018 and we get to atleast the NFC championship game this year. Trubisky was Nagys #3 rated QB in 2017 according to Laurence Holmes.

I didn't see anywhere that had Mahomes number 1 but I didn't see a place that had Mahomes over Watson yet we know of atleast 2 teams that were planning on taking him before Watson.

Yea, except you don't know that.

We literally have one of the worst offenses in football, and it's not just because of the QB.

Not many offenses succeed with a putrid oline.

lol, you noob, did you not hear all the talk about the browns thinking about taking him at #1?

Hope u are less mad at the time of this reply

 

[Toast88]

It's true that just about no one was touting Mahomes as a top 10 pick, yet alone a top 5.

That said, that's irrelevant.

GMs aren't pundits. They are paid to get it right, and Ryan Pace DID NOT get it right.

When you don't get it right, you have to admit your mistake and remedy it as reasonably quickly as possible. He's done neither.



He whiffed on the most important position despite having his pick of what will likely be two Hall of Fame QBs. No matter how you want to slice it, he fucked up.

 

[Starion]

High risk, high reward. He went to a solid perfect fit team and flourished. Happy for him.

Could that have been Mitch in his place had they picked him?


I don't think so either, but he'd be doing better also for sure. Good for PM, Andy Reid, & the Chiefs. Sorry Gould.

 

[TheMarshallPlan]

Except for us. And its that kind of outside the box thinking that separates the Bears from the rest of the NFL. LOL.

Wow. It took me a second to appreciate this gem of a post. This is absolute gold. No draft grade had Mahomes over Watson, but KC took Mahomes 2 picks ahead of Watson.

I never thought of it that way.

Media draft grades are a weak defense of your teams' scouting and eventual pick.

 

[Aesopian]

The onion is a Chicago based company so they bust Chicago balls a lot but it's more true then comedy.

 

[Outlaw Josey Cutler]

ol, you noob, did you not hear all the talk about the browns thinking about taking him at #1?

I did. I remember it. On draft day morning. I remember thinking "Browns GM is leaking like a sieve and it's pretty obvious what they are doing. That should be a warning sign to every other GM. Now I know for sure they are taking Garrett."

Because I am not a noob.

No, you don't get it. Mitch" haters" like us don't jerk to the hate. We are like the older widows still dressed in black funeral clothes months after the loss. We are not the young bimbo widow out partying with the life insurance payout.

Sometimes I think those who fight against the "haters" really work hard on NOT understanding that so it validates their position when they can dismiss the other side as unreasonable.

We can't change the Mitch selection, it's the part about the terrible Oline that could have been changed in the past 4 years. Maybe next year! Ha!

The trade up probably wasn't required but done to prevent the Browns from doing so ahead of us. Once Mitch is gone, Browns then don't trade up a couple spots for Mahomes and trade away their next 1st rounder (12) to Houston (Watson). They wanted Mitch near where we were drafting and Pace knew it because they were talking.
