Would I Lie to You?

How does Bears’ GM Ryan Pace look at himself in the mirror every day?  One eye closed, or both?

 

I ask because Pace finally ’fessed up to the obvious—the Bears are no longer in love with Mitch Trubisky as their starting quarterback.  Ever since the end of last season, whenever he found the nerve to speak in public, Pace declared Trubisky to be his man behind center.  Then, Friday, in the midst of a worldwide pandemic, Pace goes on a conference call with reporters to declare an “open competition” between the embattled Trubisky and the well-travelled Nick Foles, now on his fifth team in an eight–year NFL career.  Journeyman cuts first-round draft pick:  This is how Ryan Pace and Bears’ ownership do business, always have and always will.

 

Maybe Pace does more than close an eye or two to get through the day, like cross his fingers when declaring his faith in Trubisky.  That, or he just lies standing up.
