Chicago Bears NFL Draft 2021: 5 factors that harm this year’s draft
By Ryan Heckman
Chicago Bears brass, George McCaskey and Ted Phillips, are the ultimate buffoons
It all starts at the top. Very few organizations in sports are successful without great leadership and ownership. It doesn’t happen often, and the Bears are yet another example of this notion.
After the way the season ended with embarrassment, most fans were ready for change. Many of us felt as though George McCaskey and Ted Phillips would get rid of either Ryan Pace or Matt Nagy — or both.
But, they did something that didn’t necessarily surprise the fan base but made all of us shake our heads in disgust. They spewed a bunch of nonsense in regards to this organization possessing a culture that other NFL teams envy — every other team, to be specific.
McCaskey and Phillips tend to think the Bears have a good thing going with Pace and Nagy, and they believe in them for some God-forsaken reason.
Why keep Pace around for another year? Do they think this is a positive culture? Look at Pace’s track record over the past few years. Mike Glennon, Mark Sanchez and Mitchell Trubisky — all in the same year! Nick Foles and now Andy Dalton — we’re up to five attempts here, folks.
Pace has no reason to be employed by the Bears at this stage in the game, and while we’re at it, Nagy should be eyeing his make-or-break season in Chicago as well. At the very least, Pace should have been long gone by now and a new general manager should be working with Nagy to make the best picks for this team.

Yet, we’re stuck with Pace who has made draft blunders like Trubisky, Adam Shaheen, Calvin Ridley (still a mystery), among other vanilla selections that have yet to do much. The leadership in Chicago is a problem, and until McCaskey and Phillips are gone, we cannot expect much from this team in the draft.
