So grabbing potential guys in Rd one is questionable for bad teams and in this way, Pace has done poorly. Possible exception at QB, assuming they sit or have an OL to keep them from "seeing ghosts".
This season, so far, has proved the Bears are not a good team. Good enough to beat bad teams, but where do the Raiders or Chargers fall on that list? If we can beat the Vikings twice this year I'll be pleasantly surprised.
Bad teams need consistent contribution from early picks. Taking high ceiling guys in late response seems close to ideal. Meh
One of my only/biggest gripes with Pace is jettisoning known talent for potential. Hes done it multiple times where he gets rid of the vet to make room for his freshly drafted replacement, before the new guy has proven his worth. Sometimes it works but sometimes not so much.
Overall I like what hes done. I wanted Watson over Trubs and tbh I wanted Shannahan as HC back when he was on market and it seems hes worked out extremely well for San Fran. But as far as Pace even decisions I disagree with, I usually see where he was coming from. I think hes super young and he could end up being a great GM, his drafts have seemed.to improve each year as well as his free agency finds. Absolutely no one hits on every pick and I think Pace far often hits more thanmisses. Everyone hates on Glennon but it was more a 1 year deal than anything and who else we.gonna get? I think he does a fair job.
when a team is bad, you build deep and let expensive vets go, even with double doinks incoming
That's just the point, 66, he does a "fair job" only. He's been really good on D and really bad on O. That's not good; it's merely "fair".
No one expects any GM to hit on every draft pick or free agent signing. We expect the hits to outnumber the misses, both qualitatively and qualitatively. And we expect better results than have seen the season in the 5th year of Ryan Pace's tenure. It's not like he hasn't had a fair shot.
You don't think he build a solid Team? It's experience at HC Position, OL and QB.
Do you?
I have a hard time calling a team with one of the worst offenses in the NFL "solid".
As I said Pace had great success on D and very poor success on O. He's been in the job 5 years. This is his team and coaching staff, handpicked almost to the man.

yep. he did build a solid Team. Not great, Maybe not even good but solid. It was an old roster without future while being bad when he took over.

I definitely understand what you're saying. He has definitely made progress over the team he inherited from Emery. He has built 1/2 of a solid team. I love what he has done on defense. The offense is continuing to perform as one of the worst in the entire NFL. Half a good team is not solid in my book. It is what we see now - a pretty decent defense and a clown show offense. Pace has struggled with the offense, and I know we can all agree on that. Can he fix it? We will see. I hope he can. And he could. And nobody is saying fire Pace, but rather they want him to do better and finally figure out the offense as he has with the defense. Kudos to him on the D work he's done.
