While Schwartz thinks the Bear should bring in new offensive linemen in April when the draft begins, he does not think that’s where and when they should find their new QB. “I don’t think Trubisky is going to be back, so what are you going to do with that position? Once you get that figured out, whether that’s via the draft, or you trade up, I don’t think you have the capital for Deshaun Watson, but maybe you do- I don’t know who the other options would be, but you get someone else and then you figure out the tackle situation.” “Obviously your quarterback situation comes first, right?” Schwartz said on NBC Sports Chicago’s “Countdown to Kickoff” show. Before the Super Bowl, we spoke with Geoff Schwartz, former NFL offensive lineman and host of the “Geoff Schwartz is Smarter Than You” podcast, and he offered up how he would go about it if he were in Pace’s position. After that, Pace has got to make sure whoever’s throwing the ball is well-protected.īut how should Pace go about addressing both the quarterback and offensive line questions? With trade rumors simmering, free agency set to open up in one month, and the draft not far behind, there are endless possibilities for Pace to fill the Bears’ roster holes. 1 wide receiver, Pace has to make sure he’s got someone to get him the ball.

It took several weeks for the Bears offense to be set up to match Fields’ strengths, too.If you take a look at Ryan Pace’s offseason to-do list, you’ll probably see one phrase bolded, underlined and circled many times over: “Fix the offense!” Everyone knows it, and everyone knows how the team needs to go about it. ![]() Then there were the questionable protection plans in his first start which led to a historically poor performance against the Browns. He wasn’t given starter reps for much of training camp, which hindered his ability to generate any chemistry with the offensive playmakers when he finally did play. I mean, you know, of course, there's room for improvement and Fields was really given no legit shot last year.”įields did fight uphill for much of his rookie season. But I think there really is something to the idea of you kind of sort of know early on. You know, I could have sworn off being very vocal about quarterbacks because Josh Allen burned me. I thought he got better throughout the season. You know, I think that offense was disjointed in what they did. ![]() But I think by the end of next season, middle of the year, you kind of know if he makes those special plays. So it's too early to say anything about him because he didn't really get a fair shake last year. “I think you can be good and not have ‘it,’ but you drafted him early, you want to win Super Bowls with him. “He'll have an opportunity and we'll see early in this year, whether he kind of has ‘it,’” Schwartz told NBC Sports Chicago.
