I think that what we are seeing now, is a young GM who is learning and getting better and better over time. I like to think Pace is evolving into a better GM. And I want to believe that is the case with Nagy and his entire coaching staff - that they will always be improving and learning from any mistakes they have made.
If that is, in fact, the case, then the future is bright for the franchise.
Everyone, even the best GMs and coaches, make mistakes. What separates the good ones from the bad, is the fact that they learn. They evolve. They get better. In fact that applies to players also. It will certainly apply to this young college QB, Justin Fields as he begins to climb the QB learning curve to being an NFL quarterback. For quarterbacks transitioning to the NFL that learning curve is a Mount Everest climb. Many (most) fail to make that ascent. I'm hoping and praying for this young man to make it though. I think he has a shot. It will be exciting and fun to watch him learn and evolve. I hope Pace and Nagy make it here too. I've been extremely critical of these two. But I haven't given up on them yet.
Regarding Pace, "These are his players. These are his coaches. This is his team." and that statement could have an entirely different meaning if the team turns around now. Some day, in hindsight, we may look back on last night's drafting of Justin Fields, as THE turning point for the Chicago Bears, and the careers of Pace and Nagy. I'm not saying it WILL happen, but I'm saying it very well COULD happen. I'm sure pulling for this team, Justin, and certainly Pace and Nagy. LOL, all will be forgiven if this move turns out well over time... we could have several years of good QB play as a result. How cool is that? Mighty cool indeed.
Regarding Nagy, he's out of excuses now. Time to put up or shut up. He was brought here to improve and modernize the Bears offense so LET'S SEE IT! I don't expect miracles in 2021 but another O ranking 25th or worse is unacceptable.
