Oh come on. He has an uphill climb because the beginning of his career hasn't been all that great. there is that, but i think the move got so much ridicule that the national guys have taken a narrative and run with it. the coverage of that draft ("ryan pace just got himself fired") was ridiculous and it was obvious at the time. hilarious to look back at now... trubisky, cohen, jackson...shaheen can still be a thing, too. i mean, the expectations for a first year qb playing in the situation he played in last year shouldn't have been so high nor was his performance so bad that he should have been looked at all that negatively, imo. Compare to supposed run away winners in the trade, the Niners, the Bears 2017 draft is really impressive.
