Ryan Poles is facing a difficult task. Like most new generals, he inherits a list that is ready for anything but the championship. Chicago bears have some talent, but are old in several places and weak in others. These are things he will have to fix in the coming months and years. Not to mention that there is an additional challenge to win a locker room, which is undoubtedly discouraged after the last three years.
Poles seem to be on the right foot in this regard. A source contacted the current mood of some Bears players at Halas Hall. One common theme is that they were promoted by the new GM. They called it “extremely refreshing” compared to Ryan Pace. Although no one completely hated the former GM, a few players never seemed to like him much because of his somewhat solitary nature. Pace had a reputation for not always being available.
This is not the case with the Poles.
He is not afraid to talk to everyone in the building. His communication skills have already been praised by several people. This should come as no surprise, given that many people who knew him in Kansas City said it was one of his biggest strengths. Another thing for Poles is that he is not afraid of cameras. Pace appears in the media only when necessary. While the Poles are not seeking attention, he is behaving like someone in charge of a football organization and wants to make sure he comes out this way.
Poles are not afraid to be ahead. This is expected of a leader. The McCasky family wants GM to be the leader of the organization. He accepts this role much more than Pace seems. As a result, players noticed and became more optimistic about the future.
Not surprisingly, Ryan Pauls is like that
Back in college, he had a reputation as a sociable person. He even won the Peter Cavanaugh Award at his school, which went to the player who embraced volunteering, ethics and community the most. So doing a job where communication and managing people is vital was something he was created for. This is not just another full-time scout carrying the GM title. This is someone who covers the entire breadth of the job description.
Ryan Pauls completes his first important step. Defeating players is hard enough. The real challenge follows. To win the fans. Pace didn’t put him in the best position to do that. At least not right away. Too many inflated wage contracts. Only five drafts in total without the 1st round. At the moment he does not have much flexibility.
Not that it matters.
This is not a man willing to rely on apologies. His job remains the same. He must do everything possible to make the bears a better football team. He seems to have a solid plan in mind. Start by re-equipping the offensive line, adding playmakers in attack and improving the overall speed of the team. Achieving these goals, victories must become more frequent.
