I think that's what people without vision say .... surely Pace's below average picks and signings early can be debated to a point. However, he is the youngest GM, surely growth is expected. His RECENT 'moves' sure have a lot to do with his evaluation.
Coupled with the Bears giving Pace full reign as far as his HC, Pace has shown the ability to manipulate the draft to get 'his guy'. If nothing else, he should be respected for putting his sack on the table with all the FA signings this off season.
Personally, I think Pace has done a great job, I think Nagy & Helfritch are going to introduce Chicago & the NFL what an Offense is supposed to be like. And, I can't wait to see the GodFather of Defense plug in his new toys as well as healthy players.
