Bears general manager Ryan Pace got Mitch Trubisky wrong, but he still might get the quarterback right. What then?
Pace has been unmercifully but understandably flogged for trading up to take Trubisky when he could have stayed put and taken Deshaun Watson or Patrick Mahomes in the 2017 NFL draft. With the previous signing Mike Glennon in free agency in 2017, it disqualifies Pace from choosing the Bears’ next franchise quarterback in the eyes of many Bears fans, fanboys and critics.
We’ll see about that. Nick Foles’ heroic performance in Sunday’s 30-26 victory over the Falcons is — for now — an early indication that not every quarterback decision Pace makes turns to dust.
