By consistently miss you mean Trubisky and Shaheen??
If we're talking first couple of rounds on offense you missed White and Grasu.
We go around in circles because you consistently lower the bar of what a good GM looks like.
We're coming up to his sixth draft in a couple of weeks. At this point we know what he is....
+ He is good in mid to late rounds
+ He has improved the infrastructure at Halas Hall and tried to drag the organization into the 21st century
+ He has had some hits in free agency
+ He pulled off the Mack trade
- He cannot draft for shit in the first round, with one starter on the team (Roquan), one fighting for his career and two busts
- His QB resume at this point is Glennon, Trubisky (Mitch was a critical misevaluation)
- He cannot evaluate the TE position
- He consistently overpays in FA and trades
? Too soon to say on Nagy
Unfortunately the first two minuses are absolutely crippling and undermine the pluses.
I can totally get on board the Foles train for a year and keep everything crossed. If the offense upgrades to mediocre and the defense is top 5, who knows. But if we have another down year, you have to question where we are going with Pace.
Could you really give him another first round pick if we go 8-8 and we need a QB?
