True and both seem to be examples of the type of players with talent other teams have given up on for some reason and yet we sign them thinking somehow we can make them into something they ain't. IMHO both are examples of guys who have an attitude and who have already quit on this team.I watched the replay of Jones td grab and once Cooper was beaten he barely made any effort at all to turn and pursue Jones. He acted like a guy who just got beat badly in practice and was just gonna go back and line up for another shot.
And then we have Wheaton. One catch in eleven targets for four lousy yards. A 9.1% catch percentage. If that isn't the best definition of a useless mother****er I don't know what is yet he got a multi-year with a big guarantee as well.
Add Glennon into the mix and that $30.5 mil in guarantees handed out to three player who've done jack shit.
What top shelf UFA or at least two better ones might we have enticed with $30.5 mil in guarantees? So no....Ryan Pace is far from off the hook for this kind of stupidity.
We outspent almost everyone and I'm looking at what we got for what we spent and I was going "this is shit". And then what O got back was inane stuff like "we had lots of holes" and "not everyone can be a stud" or my favorite "he didn't want to overspend".
There are different ways to overspend. Pace found a way.
We did have lots of holes and after filling those lots of holes with crap.... we still have lots of holes. Didn't want to overspend? Glennon anyone? Even at that time it was obvious by what other teams were willing to pay that we overspent. Yest people still defended it.
Difference makers. That's what we need. And yes, not everyone can be one, but you have to at least sign SOME.
Instead of those vids the Bears site posted showing fans greeting GMcC in the parking lots and telling him how much they appreciate him and the team they should be hanging him and Ginny in effigy or maybe just starting a huge bonfire and burning them at the stake for real using Ted Phillips for kindling as a fire starter.
Nearly three years ago after they fired Emery and Trestman during his presser GMcC told us Ginny was "pissed" and promised major changes that would bring the Bears franchise back to a place GHS envisioned. How well have they kept that promise? They've failed and they continue to fail at managing their team yet many still let them off the hook. Why?
