The best part about that is they convinced Marinelli not to quit even though they fired his best friend in the world. They told the coaches that they would have to keep Marinelli if they are hired. Emery then has Marinelli interview his future bosses and rank them. Marinelli picks Ariens as the top candidate, then Darrell Bevell second. And a distant third is Marc Trestman. Emery hires Trestman and Marinelli walks because he knows it's a shitshow.

Whether the Glennophant Man and Titties Trubisky were the right moves is another question altogether.

Glennon does not navigate the pocket well and the only way Trubisky is going get better is with game reps. We are playing for next year, so he might as well start.

Dexo posted:fam do you know how little talent the Bears had on defense until recently. He torched the team. That is why I don't get the people who think Pace is the problem. Let's compare what the team looked like before he arrived to now. 2014 Chicago Bears QB: Jay Cutler RB: Matt Forte, Ka'Deem Carey WR: Alshon Jeffery WR: Brandon Marshall TE: Martellus Bennett LT: Jermom Bushrod LG: Ryan Groy C: Roberto Garza RG: Kyle Long LT: Jordan Mills DE: Jared Allen, Lamarr Houston, Willie Young DT: Stephan Paea, Jay Ratliff LB: Jonathan Bostic, Shea McClellin, Lance Briggs, DJ Williams CB: Kyle Fuller, Tim Jennings S: Chris Conte, Ryan Mundy 2017 Chicago Bears QB: Mitch Trubisky RB: Jordan Howard, Tarik Cohen WR: Cameron Meridith, Kevin White, lol TE: Adam Shaheen, Zach Miller LT: Jared Leno, Jr LG: Josh Sitting C: Cody White hair RG: Kyle Long RT: Bobbie Massie DE: Akiem Hicks, Mitch Unrein NT: Eddie Goldman LB: Leonard Floyd, Danny Trevathian, Jerrell Freeman, Willie Young, CB: Kyle Fuller, Prince Amukamura S: Eddie Jackson, Adrian Amos The offense definitely was downgraded at wide receiver and tight end under Pace's watch, and Bennett being traded is all on Fox according to all reports. Every other position is significantly better. As frustrating as Massie and Leno are, compared to Mills/Bushrod, they are better. Our running back situation has gotten younger. And every spot on the defense and interior line is better and deeper.

Niwrad posted:Pace paid Sitton, Hicks, and Amukamara. Not saying they are bad signings but they are older players the Bears have relied on to at least be competitive. He has drafted Whitehair, Cohen, Howard, Shaheen and Trubisky. While it is too early to say for sure, all of them have shown signs of being impact players at their position. It took three years just to get the roster to the point that it is now, which is markedly improved. And you want to start over, rather than give the GM a chance to actually see if he can develop the talent he had acquired. Why are you determined to turn us into the Cleveland Browns? Because blowing everything up every couple of years is how you end up being the Cleveland Browns.

mastershakeman posted:I don't give him a ton of credit on drafting, because he drafted the same positions over and over to get serviceable starters 1 out of 2 or 3 times (grasu/whitehair, langford/howard/jordan, etc) and still shows absolutely zero ability to draft the most important nonqb thing in the modern nfl - WRs So does every team in the NFL. Do you think they just want one of every position? Also, your sample size for his ability to draft wide receiver is one, who never had a chance to develop because of injuries. Also, not sure they could have anticipated those injuries when he had no prior history of it. You can't have it both ways. You can't say he doesn't draft talent, then when it is pointed out that he has, cone back with "yeah, but why didn't he get it right the first time.". The draft is a crapshoot. Since he has taken over, the team has gotten better and younger from a talent standpoint. And you need three years to be able to properly analyze player development. That means the earliest we can reasonably start judging Pace on his drafts is year five. mastershakeman posted:yeah but he also got sitton and long and so that's 4 guys for 3 spots They value guards more than tackles. Some teams do. But you can't just say "why didn't they draft a tackle" without context. Because the last couple of years have been terrible for tackles in the draft. What tackles did the Bears pass on in the draft?

Niwrad posted:I don't know what you are seeing in Trubisky to be excited about. At best you can argue the roster is so bad you can't grade him yet. But he's shown practically nothing as a starter. I said they have shown signs, I didn't say they were all-pro's. Each of those guys I listed is either a rookie or second year player. I'm really not sure what point you are trying to make. Are you upset that the Bears aren't churning out multiple all-pro players right out of every draft? Do you think maybe the problem might be your expectations are unrealistic. Shaheen has barely done anything, but you can see in the way he moves that he has the potential to be a serious mismatch in size and speed. Does that mean he will get there? No. But you shouldn't grow inpatient because the small school guy isn't amazing out of the gate. Trubisky is the one guy I have the least amount of confidence in, but he has shown signs of being able to do good things on a football field. He has made a nice throw here and there and the occasional scramble. I'm not sure what you expect to see from a rookie with no skill position talent around him. I find it interesting that you hate Whitehair the most, since last season the guy actually played at an all-pro level. To imply he hasn't shown potential is disingenuous. The idea that the Browns are closer is laughable. Their one stud player that is a cornerstone, and the rest of that roster is a trainwreck. They actually have a decent coach in place and can't win a game. We have a team being visibly hamstrung by poor coaching and have squeezed out some wins. I just see no benefit to firing Pace. We aren't going to bring in a major upgrade and we pretty much stunt the development of the roster we have built, because new GMs tend to want their own guys. Hell, the Bears can't wait to get rid of Fuller, despite him playing like one of the better corners in football this season.

Niwrad posted:Of course they have potential. They had potential coming out of college. To me, this is a coaching problem. Shaheen looks so much better on the field than Daniel Brown in limited reps. The fact that they keep putting Brown in instead of Shaheen makes me think they don't know what they are doing. I get the frustration with Trubisky. I was a Watson guy, so it's hard to compare the two and not be mad. But most rookies don't light it up their rookie season, so it's hard for me to be upset about Trubisky. But he has a nice arm and I can see how he "could" be developed into something special. But not with what he has to work with in a coaching or personnel standpoint. And the problem with the Browns is that, even with all those draft picks, they don't know what they are doing. I was all on board with moneyball for football, but they don't know how to make football-based evaluations. The reports about the disconnect between coaching and front office over there are troubling. If that is really what you want, have fun. I can't wait to delve into some front office off-season evaluations this season. I don't think anyone does it and I'm fascinated to see how it turns out.
