The problem is you've consistently harped on a handful of moves and all those moves were correct.
All of those moves were wrong and weakened the team.
You say they should have kept Marshall, but he had one more year in him and has once again worn out his welcome and is headed to his 5th team. For a rebuilding team trying to fix the culture, cutting Marshall was the correct move.
Rubbish. Marshall was their best receiver and is still better than every other receiver that is currently on the Bears. By FAR.
They let Forte go, Forte is clearly done. Love him, but the running back cliff is a real thing.
Forte should have been retained as the 3rd down back. A two year contract for him should have been the play. He is better than any other Bears back not named Howard.
You say they should have kept Bennett, but Bennett, like Marshall, is heading to his 2nd team since leaving the Bears. Bennett is a good player, but good players don't play on 5 teams without a reason. another headcase.
Funny. The Pats do not win a Super Bowl without Bennett and is better than any other current Bear's tight end.
And you still go on about Slauson, an average interior lineman who didn't fit the system. As a rookie, Whitehair played as well if not better then Slauson ever did.
Slauson should have been retained as the Bears center and Whiteside given the left guard position or even the left tackle position.
So at this point, you are saying we could have an over the hill HB, a malcontent, over the hill WR, a rapidly approaching over the hill malcontent Bennett and an average, over the hill guard. Further, keeping those players wins you, what, 2-3 more games each of the last two years? Meaning worse draft picks.
YOu mean those five count em five, big time draft picks they got this year? And last I heard, winning games is kind of important. I guess you do not care about the Bears winning more than 9 games in the last two years and will be lucky to win 3 more games this year. What a "FAN" people like you are
This comes across as unreasonable hatred of Pace and the Bears, even though it was clearly the right thing to do for a rebuilding team. Arguing about wether he has successfully addressed these issues is fine. continuing to bring up players who absolutely should not be On this team is not.
Well, go blow smoke up someone else's behind, pal. I will critique the Chicago Bear's team any way that I see fit to do. I have suffered with these guys for a long time and I am pissed off. So excuse me if I back off because you do not like my opinion.
We shall see with Jefferey, who hasn't produced at all without an elite receiver opposite him. The NFL was clearly lukewarm on him. Would not surprise me at all if he never cracks 1000 yards again.
