Drafting a quarterback is the single-most important decision an NFL general manager can make. That’s just a simple fact. Those that do it successfully get all the praise and the championship rings. Those that fail are disgraced and lost to anonymity after getting fired. It’s the one decision that can make or break the careers of many. Few teams understand that reality better than the Chicago Bears.
Their hunt for a new quarterback is about to recommence for the first time since 2009. What can anybody say of their Jay Cutler experiment? There were times it almost worked, but in the end something was always missing. Both from him and those in charge of helping him succeed. Has one stopped to ask why that might be?
Ryan Pace is now about to step up to the plate. He hasn’t taken his swing at the position yet, but almost everybody in the football world can see it coming. It’s only a matter of which direction he goes and whether he’s making the right call. That’s all Bears fans want to know. Is he any more trustworthy with this decision than his predecessors were?
Yes, and here’s why.
