Former Bears GM admits mistake in trading Olsen

[London Loves Luke]

Shula didn't even look his way vs. Baltimore

 

We all have Shula hate buddy, but I think you might have a problem.

first play of the game was an olsen screen that would've gone for a big gainer if byron bell and silatolu hadnt let suggs just beebop into cam's blindside

I'm guessing he doesn't have a OL that he wants to part with.

I was shocked when we got him for so little.

 

I was too.  I recall him fumbling a couple times when he played for the bears against us, and thought that's the reason why we're getting him for so little.  Glad we got him though.

Olsen does have a great work ethic. Before practice he can frequently be seen dragging a sled with weights on it. No other player does it.

 

Kinda crazy the difference between Greg, and his brother who has been in trouble time after time and suspended from Miami.

I'd still give up a 3rd for Greg Olsen any day!

Well at this point he would look pretty foolish to argue otherwise, stating the obvious really, but at least he admitted it.

 

Having been a fan of Olsen before the trade (wanted to draft him), I knew it was a mistake by the Bears as soon as I heard the news, but their loss was our gain. Greg is one the best TE's in the game, and a great person, arguably the best trade the Panthers have ever made.

Breaking tackles is the biggest weakness to hos game. If he broke tackles like Shockey he would truly be elite. At the same time, thats probably why he stays healthy. SMART man

What Chicago station is he going to call next Wednesday to talk about being disrespected?

Every mock had Olsen coming to Carolina during that draft where we drafted Beason after we traded down. In essense we we got Olsen in the third round after he proved he could play.

Thor is a big part of our offense along with Superman and Optimus Prime.

Sure, he's not 6'7" and doesn't get a ton of yards after contact or run a 4.3 or 4.4, but Olsen is Cam's security blanket and makes some outstanding plays at times.

He's 6'6" and ran a 4.51, so I guess you're technically right.
