GOGRIESE Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 8 minutes ago, beardown3231 said: And he was the unquestioned starter, was he not? Pace preaches competition competition competition yet the QB spot was clearly won by Trubisky throughout August of 2017, yet Glennon was handed the job. This means Trubisky is the starter and they won't bring in *serious* competition for him, unless you think Jordan Love or someone else is *serious* or Case Keenum is *serious*. Nagy has to feel horrendous. His first HC job and maybe his last is going to hinge on arguably the game's worst QB. Pace is a joke and fully believes in this clown. It's embarrassing. He should be ashamed of himself. I listened to the interview and didn't get any of that from them. It was all just lawyer speak. Have to see how free agency plays out.

Trubisky's confidence didn't just skyrocket when he heard what Pace said. It's shot regardless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abstract_thought Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 Pace also said he "liked what he saw" from Shaheen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEAR FACE DOWN ARROW Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 I am completely un-disturbed by Pace saying nothing either way about Mitch. They were always going to keep him around and they gain _nothing_ by trashing or praising him right now. If it's September and they still have Daniel and Bray on board, then I worry... I feel they're brining in competition from either or both FA and the draft. The Shaheen comments though... And are they really bringing back this coaching staff in it's current configuration? That is when I'm going to freak out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beardown3231 Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 Why is everyone's argument "they weren't going to trash him!" No one expected that but what would've been so difficult about "Mitch needs to be better and he knows that. We'll look at improving every position and if an opportunity arises to improve that spot, we will.: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trubisky's confidence didn't just skyrocket when he heard what Pace said. It's shot regardless. They also didn't say they were picking up his 5th year option. If they were completely sold on him that wouldn't even be a question. They aren't going to die with him next year if he stinks. They know the lack of patience ownership has at this stage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overall there were a lot of contradictory statements. The main thing I came away with is a total lack of trust in what Pace says. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They may also be open to the possibility of trading him. There's no way they could cast a lot of doubt on Mitch if they want to move him.

GOGRIESE Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 The most disturbing part to me was the Leonard Floyd love. He does everything well except get to the QB. I'd rather have an OLB who doesn't drop into coverage well but can get to the QB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WindyCity Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 "Mitch is our QB" Doubled down on it. The only questions that he deflected where about a starting calibre backup QB. Predictable. Pace has a ton invested in 10 and probably feels pot committed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take these pressers with a heavy grain of salt. Why haven't we fired any of our staff yet? He didn't. He said that they would explore drafting someone as well.

beardown3231 Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 BTW, Burton had another surgery, this time on his hip. The "hope" is he and Smith are ready for camp. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"HAHAHAHAHA I wouldn't trade anything for that bum." I dunno, man. I can easily envision a few scenarios. For example, if I were Ron Rivera, I'd be all over trading Trent Williams for Trubisky. 1 minute ago, beardown3231 said: BTW, Burton had another surgery, this time on his hip.
