Fox wanted Watson. Mahomes was Pace's No 2 QB.

Report confirms that ex-Bears coach John Fox wanted different QB in draft over Mitch Trubisky

The Chicago Bears had Mitch Trubisky as their top QB in the 2017 NFL draft, but their former coach had another passer he reportedly preferred.

Not sure if posted already but this is depressing to read. For all the shot Fox gets, apparently he knows more about QBs than Pace.

Also Mahomes was Pace's 2nd ranked QB. SMH!

Even Fox wanted Watson. That tells you everything you need to know about Pace’s quarterback evaluations

 

[WindyCity]

When you are getting schooled by John Fox in QB evaluations it is time to #firepace

So if Pace didn’t trade up and the Browns traded up for Trubisky we would’ve ended up with a future HOFer at QB? Shit.

Welcome to the sheer gravity of Pace’s fuck up and what it cost the Bears.

And we some how end up with Mole Eye, the human shit show... Life as a Bears fan, is hard.

Pace and mitch are gr8 bro pals. They both talk gr8 and have gr8 workouts 2gether. Too bad 4 pace nfl QBs have to win games not just be gym homos.

What else if Fox gonna say?

Pace, and Mole Eye, probably spot each other while working out at Halas Hall.. Giving one another deep, bromantical, eye gazes between sets.

Does that surprise you? Watson was the safe choice, Fox wasn’t gonna go out on a limb. It’s not that he was so smart, just more careful. Pace just thought he could be the smartest guy in the joint if he hit with Trubs. Oops.
And to the idea that Mahomes would’ve been a HOFer here, the Trib has an article about the draft with some great inside info from Pats coaches. Sounded like A LOT of work went into making him the QB he is today. I’ve never seen that from anyone in the Bears org. My guess is they would’ve thrown him out in game 4 or 5 and told him to go get em. He might’ve actually been Cutler 2.0.

I remember hoping Bears would draft Watson too. This organization will never live that draft down.

While it’s embarrassing that’s a little much. Bears still have a very good D, and solid weapons on offense. OL and TE sucks but a decent QB could make up for it. If the bears win a SB in the next couple years nobody will really care.

 

[WestCoastBearsFan]

But also: can you idiots keep telling me about how John Fox was the issue?

 

[westcoast bear fanatic]

I remember the reports from the Clemson Pro day. Fox was drooling over Watson but Pace the smug asshole didn't even let his HC in on the decision. Bears never get it right, QB and GM. Pace should be fired but he won't be and if he is they will just hire another tool in his place.

 

[Adipost]

I remember right after that draft someone reported that the only QB Pace was going to select was Trubisky. If he missed out on Trubisky, he wasn’t going to draft a QB at all. That would help explain the needless trade up.

 

[Doubledown]

Pace and Nagy need to cut their losses with Mitch the same way They did with Parkey.

But a good FA won’t be cheap, add a QB with 2nd rd pick also

Yup, probably the biggest problem with Mitch as well. I didn't want him to start for at least the first half of the season, but Pace fucked up so bad with Glennon that Fox was left with no choice.

Nah, they fucked that draft up. Bears could seriously have Watson, Juju, Jackson, and Kittle. Instead there's Mitch, Shaheen (probably a worse pick than Mitch) Jackson & Cohen.

 

[Bearshomer]

How sad is it that 31 fan bases think John Fox is a decent or better coach while Bears fans think Fox is a buffoon known for his ineptitude?

I've been telling you guys along that pace was an idiot. Fucking pace lovers spunky and playthrough have disappeared. Spunky loved pace so much that he went on a disliking spree for every anti pace post. What a crybaby.
