The Bears have a new general manager, and it is somehow another Ryan Pace, er, Ryan Poles. (I don’t care if this joke is tired by now; I’ll keep making it, Dear Readers).
On the surface, it’s exciting that Chicago has hired someone away from the NFL’s premier organization in the Kansas City Chiefs. Kansas City has football’s best quarterback, best coach, a dynamite roster, and, after four straight appearances in the AFC Championship Game, is showing no signs of slowing down any time soon. That Poles worked his way up through a franchise that possesses, inarguably, one of the premier modern processes in roster construction is a quality sign of his work ethic (which is a prerequisite in any profession).
