Do you think that Ryan Pace had nowhere to go but up because that's basically what you're saying.Have we had a running back as good as Montgomery since he left?
He got Sweat and Allen, but there's also Nate Davis and Claypool
He's drafted Tyrique, but he also drafted Velus
He had a chance to reset things last year and get a new coach...which everyone was saying. Instead he just got a new Offensive Coordinator.
I don't think he's done that great, but he had no where to go but up
I'd take Montgomery over any RB that we've had since then but the team still had an effective run game after he left. The cupboard was bare at WR when Poles got here. The team was bad and had a horrible cap situation so we couldn't even acquire players in free agency.
He chose to bring back Eberflus but I'm sure that not only was that how he was leaning but also it was the direction favored by ownership since they're cheap.
Every GM misses, Bears or otherwise. The same front office that used their 1st pick on Patrick Mahomes then used their 1st pick in the next year's draft on someone who played 16 games for their career.
