Ryan Pace is in his fourth year as the GM for the Chicago Bears and he knows better than anyone else that his future is dependent on the success or failure of quarterback Mitch Trubisky. That’s just one of the things Pace talked about on Monday’s podcast episode of Pardon My Take, where the Bears GM was also asked about signing Johnny Manziel.
If you’re not familiar with the podcast presented by Barstool Sports, co-hosts Big Cat and PFT Commenter blend satire and sports together, so don’t worry Pace knew they were joking around when asked about backup QB options for the Bears.
Pace was asked about Charlie Whitehurst, JaMarcus Russell and if he’d kick the tires on Manziel. “That would be interesting,” Pace said as he continued to laugh.
But you know, that’s not a no! I mean hey, he’ll do it for free.

In all seriousness though, you should definitely check out Pace’s interview, as he lets his guard down a bit, while still discussing the Bears.
The GM says the Bears are obviously going to be active trying to get a wide receiver in the draft, gave some insight into player interviews during the combine, looked back at drafting Trubisky last year and of course the importance of the quarterback position.
Also this.

There was one question Pace was hesitant to answer. He was asked who the worst fans in the NFL were and after stalling for a few seconds Pace said, “can I say Green Bay?”
