U just see it different with the qb. White was drafted to play right away but just two freak injuries prevented it. Floyd was probably their second or third best defensive player last year and was in the running for defensive rookie of the year until the end. He was really one of the more productive rookies drafted last year. But even if neither had not been productive, taking a qb this year shouldn't be influenced by that. Regardless of how well White has played had he stayed healthy, the Bears would've still been bad, much of that related to the qb position. It's everything. If you don't have a qb, you don't have anything. Look at our defense over the last 10 years or longer. Some all time great defensive players. Always had a too notch defense. How much success did they have as a team? Very little. It's because the offense was always terrible.
As was stated earlier though, it won't matter without good coaching and an organization that builds around and supports the qb position. To date, the offense has been pathetic. It maybe even worse this year. We have Jordan Howard and pretty much nothing else, except for a solid interior line.
Pace has had two years in a row to draft a qb and didn't do it. Now, going into his third year, the position is below average at best and still no qb of the futures. It may end up costing him his job.
