I think it's clearly between the two suggested above and I'm okay with either of them winning it. I think Executive of the year goes to either the Bears GM or the Colts GM too.

The narrative is there for either Nagy or Reich to win. For Nagy the Bears have been bad for a long time and he's got an ultimately unproven QB and was in a division with (pre season) perceived powerhouses in Minnesota and Green Bay.

For Reich he walked into a job where he wasn't the original hire. Is coaching with a staff that Josh McDaniels hired and not himself. He had no guarantees that Andrew Luck would play football again.

However if I am voting, I'd vote for Nagy simply because he won his division and got double digit wins.

Nagy did a fine job obviously, and has moved along the Bears ahead of schedule, but any offensive mind would've been a better fit for their squad than John Fox, and the success of the team is largely down to the addition of Khalil Mack and Vic Fangio's defensive scheme. Nobody's talking about how Nagy has worked wonders with Mitch Trubisky, because... well, he hasn't. His main competitors in the Packers and Vikings also underperformed this year.

Reich came into a job with his assistants already hired by Josh McDaniels, and has taken a squad that people were calling among the worst in the league to a winning record. This is in a division where the Texans and Titans both did better than anyone expected. Luck's having his best season in years and years. Reich's scheme is making people call him the real brains behind that 2017 Eagles season. The offensive line is better than its been for about a decade. The Colts have lost 1 game since starting the season 1-5. The price is Reich.
