Yeah. Pace went into win now mode with Cutler. That isn't erased because he made a few good draft picks finally.
Well, Hub has hinted that Fox was pushed as the hire from powers above Pace. I would not doubt that Fox wanted to win right away. There were reports that Pace wanted Mariota. If he had pulled that off (or been allowed to), then the Bears would really be somewhere.
Pace does get some blame for that, but what's the alternative? Start over again for the third time in four years? Think he deserves another draft at least, and with some better luck with injuries they can be compete in this division. Detroit is not frightening.
If you make a list Pace has many more bad decisions than good ones that set the franchise back. If he is handcuffed by management that gives me less confidence he succeeds.
