Mr. Scot

I was wondering if anyone was going to bring up the system comparison. For whatever you think of Wilson, it's pretty well known that West Coast type systems always inflate a quarterback's stats. That's why you have guys who look like world beaters in Philadelphia suddenly look like egg beaters when they go somewhere else.

To be fair, you do have to consider that Mike Martz was running the Bears offense at the time. Martz never knew what to do with Olsen.

At least it's not on the inside...

You heard right. Combine medical rechecks are this weekend.

Shall we revive the old "great but injury prone vs good but healthy" debate again?

I can tell you there are at least a few people on here who think Gordon will be a better pro back than Gurley. At least one who thinks he's a better fit for our system...

Panthers First Round Pick could be an RB not named Gurley

To be fair, i'd bet you do too

Oh cool. Roundup is on sale.

Crabtree's biggest problem is that he's one of those guys who thinks he's a lot better than he actually is.

He'd have been a backup MLB here, but he doesn't play special teams that I know of. Trusnik is cheaper and makes more sense.

If Tillman can return to his prior form, then I'd say we definitely got the better player.

Spikes would have made more sense if we hadn't already signed Trusnik. As to Crabtree, good. Never wanted him here.

Truth is stranger than fiction... Ian Rapoport ‏@RapSheet Unreal RT @JGalvinKGET: BREAKING: Lawrence Phillips (Nebraska RB) under investigation for murdering his cellmate at Kern Valley State Prison

Word that Hakeem Nicks is also visiting the Titans (who reportedly hosted Byron Bell today).

Twice that if he signs somewhere else, as well as declarations that our season is over, we need a new GM and assorted other silliness and stupidity.

The NFC East hasn't exactly been a quality division for the last two seasons either. The Giants and Redskins have both been garbage. The Cowboys were good last year but were lucky to make 500 the year before (people had Garrett as a lock to be fired).

No, you're not.

You'll probably also remember another former Bear doing that when he was here under Fox, namely Chris Harris.

Back when Rivera was Bears DC, they put heavy emphasis on stripping the ball. Tillman was one of his better students. He's very good at that 'punch out' move you see a lot of DBs try.

I don't buy that it ends our shot at Jennings. For one, there's still options to clear additional cap if needed

Adam Caplan @caplannfl · 37m 37 minutes ago One year, $3.05 m deal for Tillman. #Buccaneers and #Seahawks also were in the mix to sign him. The Bucs I expected, but the Seahawks wanted him too.

Voth chimes in. http://blackandbluereview.com/panthers-sign-cornerback-charles-tillman/ Side Note: I'd forgotten that he'll be reunited with an old teammate here in Olsen.

Because he's not young anymore and has had a lot of trouble staying healthy of late. I can get on board with it, but my main thing right now is I wanna know what his role will be.

He was very good back when he was young, healthy and coached by Rivera. Only one of those things is guaranteed at this point, and one is definitely no longer true. He's reputed to be a great teammate in the mold of Thomas Davis though, so we'll see.
