As Bear Nation knows all too well, the insurmountable injuries since Ryan Pace took over in 2015 have been historically high. Football is a physical game and the reality is not if a player will get injured...it is when a player will get injured.
(unless your name is Eli Manning...seriously, did he sell his soul to start every game for a decade and steal two Rings from the GOAT)
With news coming out of OTAs that Kevin White is running with "blazing speed", Pace's medical staff suffers another black eye months after their advice played a prominent role in the team declining a 5th Year Option for Pace's Inaugural First Round Pick. You can say that the three season ending injuries played a bigger role, but again...the Medical Staff ruined White from Day One by completely whiffing on a fractured shin that should have kept him out of OTAs three years ago. They not only fail at prevention, but they fail at the diagnosis level as well.
So what kind of ****ing idiot lets these boobs have any influence on contract negations as well?!?
ace:
First it is declining Kyle Fuller's Fifth Year Option after an entire year of no one able to figure out that a knee scope does not take nine months to heal. This in turn leads to Pace having to outsource his contract negotiations to a Division Rival...making the cornerback that was just called a complete wuss by his own Defensive Coordinator just one year earlier, one of the Top Five highest paid in the League.
Next comes the tragic case of Cam Meredith. A shinning Diamond in the Rough that should have been a testament to Pace's talent finding abilities, also brought down by a season ending injury. Again on the advice of his vaunted Medical Staff, Ryan Pace throws the lowest tender possible on Cam and is shocked that he is offered a contract by Pace's former bosses. Still Pace goes back to the Medical Staff that tells him to pass on Cam due to worries about him being ready for Camp. Recent Reports out of New Orleans that Cam is way ahead of schedule to return the football field should probably not been much of a surprise for most of Bear Nation, but my sources tell me that Pace now owns stock in Alka-Seltzer.
The firing of Nate Breske February should give Bear Nation a glimmer of hope for the future, but the damage has been done. All the focus has been on hires like Matt Nagy and the drafting of Mitchell Trubisky to save Pace's job, but it is replacing the Breske Regime that will be a career defining moment for this beleaguered General Manager.
