A few things have become apparent about Nagy/Pace. They were both in over their heads early on, Nagy was incredibly lucky to have Fangio's D carry the team while Nagy flailed around calling/coordinating an offense that has consistently been near the bottom of the league. Pace got taken to school repeatedly by other GM's, falling in love with imaginary "ceilings" of guys he liked while ignoring some pretty low "floors" for guys with great athleticism, but limited production/experience at the collegiate level.
We have to hope that both guys have learned and developed enough to have reached at least competence in their positions. Nagy seems to have at least learned the value of playing starters in the pre season and Pace is finally making a few moves that actually make sense, getting rid of his hand picked guys who have underproduced.
I don’t think anything has changed with either Pace or Nagy. I mean, letting Kyle Fuller walk when they could have cut a different player was dumb as hell (for example), but also typical Ryan Pace. Essentially you traded Fuller for Jimmy Graham. Will be hilarious but also so Pace if they wind up cutting Graham during pre-season.
As for Nagy, his play calling isn’t going to change. It could be made to look better tho with Fields just being that good. But his forgetting about the run, killing his drives momentum after big plays, and head scratching situational play calls will all still exist.
I agree with both of you. This was the first off-season where Pace actually appeared to make **some** sensible decisions, but man.....he's been at this a long time. There is zero excuse for having to learn on the job for an NFL GM.
Nagy.....I have seen absolutely nothing from him in terms of growth. He's a coach that thinks he can out-scheme any other coach regardless of who is on the roster. He speaks well and yuk's it up nicely with the media, but as a coach on the field, he still looks way over his head. The defense will continue to decline and carry his poor offense less and less. I like Fields as a pick, but have little confidence Nagy is someone who can develop him. I'd love nothing better than for Nagy to prove me wrong.
