Over the past few seasons... very few fans showed the foresight and clarity to understand what Pace was doing and the tolerance to extend him patience while he did it.
Most fans complained... said he sucked... berated every move they could not understand and actually wanted him fired.
The complaints were numerous. His draft picks sucked... he couldn't evaluate free agents.... he could of would of did this not that...
Well....
Here we are.... 10-6 is pretty guaranteed.... 11-5 is likely.... 12-4 is possible. the play offs are almost a sure thing. The defense is awesome. The offense is still a tad inconsistent... but good enough for now. The best part is that both the defense and the offense looks to only get better as many of the core players aren't even in their primes yet. This is still a very young team.
So what do the nay-sayers have to say now... do they understand all the short term FA contracts not committing to players who Pace didn't see being here today? Do they now resend their criticism of signing Glennon to a top heavy contract with an easy out... which in essence meant absolutely nothing to the state of the team as it is now? Do they acknowledge that he has drafted as well as any GM in the league over the past few years... finding gems up and down the draft? Have they stopped complaining about his first round picks as if they were all failures like White?
This is Pace's defense. He has either drafted... traded for.... signed and / or re-signed every member of the D........ even when his nay-sayers complained about a few of the moves.............. he said Fuller didn't deserve a contract?
So what are your thoughts of your GM now..... are you ready to say he's actually a good one.... are you still on the fence.... or does he still suck?
Has anyone on here seen his vision from the very beginning and went through 3 years of getting hated on on here with every post made?
Ahem Ahem........DB70
Going through those 3 years of having Pace's back and his moves to rebuild this team and going back and forth with the non-believers has now given me a bad reputation on here (not that i give a shit) and why? Well because i was right the whole time and now those people hate that i was right the whole time so they're even more mad now then they were for the 3 years of me believing in Ryan Pace...lol.
I don't wanna get ahead of myself because there's still one part of this rebuild that is very concerning which is if Mitch is gonna become a better QB that can win games without having to count on the defense to win them for him like last night. Mitch was really bad last night and all 3 INT's were 100% his fault. Now of course he just missed the 2 games and coming back against that defense in the weather has gotta be tough but last nights game wasn't the only bad game for him but was probably his worst of this season.
Ryan Pace = GM of the year.
Remy and some others still hate R.Pace
