No it 100% is crazy that we're still building the trenches 3 years in.
You seem to be the only one that thinks Dexter is playing well and has collapsed the pocket multiple times.
You can find no post where I said Dexter played well. Going into his 3rd year, there were holes all over the Bears roster and you were still caping for Pace.
QB - Dumbass picked Trubisky over Mahomes and Watson. We have Williams. 2024 Bears easy win.
HB - Howard and Cohen were solid but Swift better than both.
WR/TE - One of the worst WR cores in the history of the NFL. Wright went from our leading WR to never playing in NFL again. The great Adam Shaheen was garbage. By contrast we have the best WR core in Bears history on paper.
OL - Leno, Sitton, Whitehair, Long and Massie probably better on paper but 2024 Bears OL probably has more potential.
DL - Bears DL was better than ours on paper.
LBs - Absolute trash compared to 2024
DBs - CBs were trash and good safeties but 2024 easily better.
So all in all your favorite Bears GM probably did do a better job in the trenches to the detriment of every other position group which favors the 2024 Bears. So no it isnt easy to fix everything in 3 years.
We are still trying to see what we have on the OL and DL because Pace has focused his resources on building the rest of the team to where the gaps on the OL and DL can hopefully be addressed. Note took Pace 4 years to get a playoff team when hw added Mack and that team flamed out. So again next year is when I expect Poles to finish building a complete team.
