Steve Smith vs Greg Olsen...

[Lemory]

A lot changes when your team wins by a lot and dominates.

The Ravens dominated the Panthers and have no one at WR to replace Smith.

The Bears held in there and do not miss him, they have Bennett.

You obviously do not know what you're talking about. Why are you still here?

[Jackofalltrades]

To be fair Olsen's wasn't established at that time.

Yes he was, he just wasn't needed when they went to the Mike Martz offense.

I come for the chippy banter that really cool people like you provide.

 

Will you be my friend?

Greg Olsen was with the Bears 4 years, never was a face of the team, and was traded to a team that was actually going to use him. Steve Smith was with the Panthers 13 years, was the face of the team, and was unceremoniously cut. Big difference. 

[TN05]

Yes he was, he just wasn't needed when they went to the Mike Martz offense.

 

Which is why he was traded. Unlike with Steve Smith, however, the Bears didn't publicly question his role on the team or draw things out too long.

Yes they did.   They said he basically didn't have a role in their new offensive system.     Their old OC didn't like the idea of using TEs really,  and he viewed Olsen as...............lowly and expendable.

I read an article by Dave Newton on BR where he compared Smith's game against his former team and Greg's game against Chicago. He said that while Steve felt the need to lob grenades at the Panthers organization and boast about how great a game he had, Olsen acted like a pro and feels no ill will towards the Bears. I'm starting to understand maybe why Dave felt the need to send Steve packing, he's a great player and probably a HOFer but the guy is a bit of a drama queen... IMO

 

 

starting to understand.....

 

BIT of a drama queen......

 

in your opinion....

 

 

i have no words

Untrue, everyone knew we were getting a big time talent when the trade occured.

 

Yeah but he wasn't with the Bears for a decade and wasn't the Bear's best player ever.

Ive said it a few weeks ago. His numbers will start to decline in a big way after our matchup with the Ravens. Its obvious he was playing with the fire the first few games to prove a point, now that he played us he has nothing else to prove and his numbers will be on the decline.. mark my words, he goes quiet the rest of the season, its why he looked bad last Sunday and will continue to decline the rest of the season.

Everyone but Jerry Angelo.

OP said a bit of a drama queen.  That is quite the understatement.  As far as drama goes, SS goes harder than anyone I have ever seen.

We paid Smith to leave.  We Paid Chicago a pick for Olsen.  All you need to know is there.
