One thing people can’t seem to agree on is Ryan Pace’s status. The man has served as general manager of the Chicago Bears since 2015. Ownership has expressed the utmost confidence in him most of the time. They praise his preparation, intelligence and willingness to do whatever it takes to build a winner. To be fair, man certainly has his strengths.
His construction of the Bears defense deserves the utmost respect. It was one of the worst units in franchise history when he took over. In the span of four offseason, he became the No. 1 defense in the NFL and finished in the top 5 for two consecutive seasons. It is really impressive work. It’s nice to see Pace at least maintaining this long-standing tradition.
The problem is, he also fell into a similar trap that devoured former CEOs. His inability to construct a functional offense. Punctuated by his inability to find a viable quarterback. Some people wonder if he is really in the hot seat or not. To Gil Brandt, director of the Hall of Fame? There aren’t a lot of questions on this.
“In a perfect world, the Foles competition will bring out the best of former number 2 in the general classification Mitchell Trubisky. If Foles wins the starting quarterback, the Bears will look to him to regain the form that led to the playoffs and Super Bowl success as a replacement with the Eagles in 2017 and 18 after wading through Jacksonville the year. last. Regardless of who’s under center, head coach Matt Nagy and general manager Ryan Pace will need more production for an offense ranked 25th on the pass, 27th on the run and 29th on the score. if they have to leave the harness. “

Did Ryan Pace do enough to help his attack?
It’s a good question. Looking around the league, most agree that the two best shots he’s made this offseason were in defense. Pace has received much praise for acquiring pass passer Robert Quinn, who should help free Khalil Mack. In addition, 2nd round pick Jaylon Johnson was most often considered the best pick he made in the draft. Johnson is a cornerback. Any offensive shots to note? Nothing but question marks.
His job for Nick Foles has been called too expensive. The same goes for his signing from 34-year-old tight winger Jimmy Graham. Cole Kmet, their first draft pick, is worried about his overall cap and Notre Dame’s lack of experience. On top of all that, he really hasn’t invested a ton in the offensive line. His most notable move was signing former Seahawks starter Germain Ifedi with a plan to move him to guard. Pace is clearly relying a lot on the hope that a revamped coaching staff led by Matt Nagy will make more use of the players already there.
It is a dangerous bet. Especially with a considerably reduced offseason to prepare. This could very well be his last fight.
