The reason Pace is moving on from Sitton is obvious, right? Beyond age, injury potential, and salary I mean.
Nagy is going to run a more dynamic uptempo scheme. They hired a strength and conditioning coach in Jason Loscalzo to that end. I would assume the evaluation of Sitton (whether he fit the scheme and their plans going forward) came from Nagy as much as from Pace.
So why call Pace stupid for the move? It's a business move and a fairly logical one as I see it.

We will see at CB and LB, tons of work to do there.

Then do it when you have a replacement for him. No issue with moving on from Sitton, if you have a replacement.
When will we cut Bobbie Massie, because he has no business in the system you suggest?

add safety to the list of improvements as well.
the starting CBs were Fulller and Jennings...Fuller and Amukamara are better.....LBs were McClellin, Bostic and the last year of Briggs and williams......

I’m not suggesting a system. I’m looking at the evidence that’s out there.
It’s possible they have a replacement on the roster already. Maybe there’s an off-season plan we’re not seeing yet. We’ll know more as FA starts or maybe not until camp.
You seem to have an axe to grind with Pace. Personally I’m more curious where this is heading and there are a lot of unknowns involved based on Nagy taking the reins.

While you can't simply mock every top player to the Bears...the situations are quite different than last.
Last year at this time, the Bears had an older, re-tread defensive minded coach heading into what many already forecasted would be his final year as Bears HC and no answer at the QB position.
This year, the Bears enter with a young, respected, exciting offensive minded head coach and a franchise QB who had a decent rookie year. Also throw in some newly renovated facilities at Halas Hall as a little sweetener.

Neither of the CBs you mention are under contract.
We currently have one OLB, so we need to see some stuff happen there.

I am saying their is legitimate reasons to question "the plan" when it come to free agency.

I do think they are in a better position then last season, but that needs to translate to results.
Right now they are "hypothetically" better. We need to see actual additions.

Yes but they were improvements. We will have to see what happens this year, but your narrative that Pace let's people go and doesn't get better replacements, has applied to one set of positions.

2nd round pick, that order. Boom - nobody remembers Josh Sitton's name.

Can't draft a WR if you are drafting an OG.

We have limited premium resources.
No sense in opening more holes. We are not getting more draft picks.

As I've mentioned before in this thread, I do not believe a hole is being created. You have two players on the roster right now that can/have played multiple positions along the offensive line. You also have two players on the roster that can be molded by the "best offensive line coach in the country." Beyond draft picks, two of the three I listed above have also played multiple positions in college, you still have free agency. Not a single one of us knows, right now, what Pace's plan for the offensive line is, so why get so worked up over one player on February 22.
You keep mentioning that Pace has created a hole when he didn't need to, but did he? Did Pace really create a hole in the roster, or is it just the way you see it on February 22nd?
This isn't dabears70 white-knighting for Pace. This is not getting worked up over something on February 22.

Are you high? Unless we are landing Andrew Norwell there isn't a chance in hell people merely forget about Josh Sitton because no player is likely to give you his production. You're batshit crazy if you think guards of Sitton's caliber are readily replaced.
