I don't know if it's been discussed in the Twitter thread, but how can Dan logically justify his earlier position that Pace is in full control of football operations? Dan backtracked with this Tweet:
Quote:
#Bears source: Pace could have cleared McDonald unilaterally, but chose to have higher green-lighting. That we know he did so is strange.
If you give that statement even a half second of thought the idea that Pace has full control falls apart completely. Why would Pace choose to have higher ups "green-light" the signing if he already has the power to sign McDonald? If this is true it paints Pace as an equivocating weenie who runs stuff up the flag pole even though he doesn't have to.
Dan's tweets have been all over the place with the McDonald signing. First its this:
Quote:
Every time I think the #Bears understand how to do #NFL business, they go all McCaskey. They may dribble this whole chance down their leg.
Which appears to be **gasp** calling out management for making a poor personnel decision. But that tweet is followed by this 10 hours later:
Quote:
Note how Ryan Pace liked to "keep things internal," until he wanted to publicly spread responsibility for a controversial signing. #Bears
So now it appears that Dan is turning down his earlier heat on Bear's management and re-framing the argument so as to turn the heat up on Pace. But why?
If Pace indeed has full control of football operations (as we already know he does thanks to Dan's reporting on that issue) then his trying to spread responsibility for the signing should carry no weight, because at the end of the day it was his decision alone that brought McDonald here.
So which is it Dan? Does Pace have full control or not?
