Ryan Pace is a fantastic hire by the Bears. He's been ready for years but always wanted to wait for his dream spot. Great move

Ryan Pace is a major loss for the #Saints organization, the most talented young talent evaluator in the building. Great hire by Bears.

Best to take wait-and-see approach with any new NFL hire. Some people celebrated the hiring of Marc Trestman 2 years ago. Takes time.

I know nothing about Ryan Pace. But Theo Epstein was awfully young for his first GM job in Boston too. I say give the guy a chance. #bears
