Yeah, Ryan Pace seems really excited about his 3-10 football team.
At the very minimum, his draft class this year is enough to warrant not having these rumors floating around. The team got absolutely wrecked with injuries, and they have an abysmal head coach and OC in charge on game days.
Relevant Chicago Bears on IR:
Jay Cutler - forget play on the field, he now is a document injury risk. He's missed 5 or more games now dating back to 2011. That's on Pace for decided to stick with Cutler two years ago.
Kyle Fuller - He was 'meh' when healthy
Hroniss Grasu - See Kyle Fuller
Lamarr Houston - See Grasu
Kyle Long - Ok, I'll give Pace this one. Weird/Random injuries to solid player
Zach Miller - Yeah, this is on Pace. You know Miller's injuries when you shipped off Bennett and made Miller your primary TE.
Danny Trevathan - I'll give Pace this one too..Trevathan was healthy before this year.
Kevin White - See Kyle Fuller and Grasu, I have't seen much of a difference between White and Merideth.
So add in Long and Trevathan, what does this team have? 1 or 2 more wins?
Leonard Floyd missed time and Pernell McPhee missed significant time. You can also add in the Freeman and Alshon suspensions for players who missed significant time.
Pace's biggest mistake was keeping Cutler. I'm not sure if had a say in the Fox hire but if he did that was a mistake too, and one he needs to rectify this offseason. As I said, his draft class this year earns him the right to be in charge for at least the next couple years and not have to answer to some outsider like Polian
