peppers looked like one happy dude in that press conference.

what a move!

you've got peppers on the wrong side.

agreed, and i think his perceived value is high but he won't be all that valuable to the bears going forward. if we could get a second rounder for him, i'd be happy. but an actual receiver in the realm of a boldin would be nice as well, injuries and all.

i think they're about even and jones has more mileage, a lot more mileage and is a little older. plus, by getting taylor we also take him away from the vikings, which makes them worse. True. I was just thinking of it from how their skills fit in and mileage not being as important when it's essentially a big one-year deal. i don't think martrz is too worried about it. he wants receiver options and taylor is a receiving option. kevin jones is also a great third option in martz's offense.

he's not old. 30 isn't old if you don't have much mileage on you. if he was 35, he'd be pushing it, but there isn't much a 25 year old can do that a 30 year old can't if everything else is equal, which it pretty much is. We're talking about NFL football players here, not accountants. 31, which he turns in September, is old in the NFL, very old for RB. You don't only measure RB age with carries, there's also all the offseason work, training camp, practice, etc. He's old. He doesn't have "essentially" 3.5 years of work under his belt. He's almost 31, he's played a good amount of time. He's not fresh. work is good, being hit is bad. like i said, there's virtually no difference between a 25 year old and a 30 year old except the amount of punishment you've taken. if we're talking about accountants then 50 isn't old, but we aren't. and i'll remember the whole "you don't only measure running backs with carries" line next time you bring up the amount of carries a running back has on him, bank on it. What would be the point of bringing it up. I wrote you don't "only" use that. It would be stupid of you to bring back that quote just because I mention somebody's carries. And 25-30 is a huge step in football. i'll bring it up because i'm an ass. and 25-30 is a huge jump assuming with those five years you also get a lot of wear and tear, which there hasn't been.

did we trade olsen or are you just assuming?

Not if they throw for more than 2500 yards. http://images.starcraftmazter.net/4chan/for_forums/cool_story_bro.jpg really lame

olsen is also a very tradeable commodity.

And you can cut him with very little ramifications I'm not saying it's a bad deal, I just think that's a lot to pay for an old backup RB. if you frame it like that and consider nothing else, sure.

and he'll be paid like it. he's also fairly young in terms of wear and tear. you, of all people, should know that.

that's a lot of scratch for an old back up rb most of it's up front though, meaning he's only getting 5.5 mil over the last 3 years. he should be pretty serviceable next season.

woah

i have a question for bob glauber: why are you tom crean?

well, we aren't getting rolle, the asking price is way too high.

I fully believe Cutler could have Warren Moon's career with the right surrounding cast. Jurgensen isn't modern era. Fouts is a reasonable comp that puts Cutler in a very positive light, excellent point. Marino's high pick totals came in many, many more attempts. it should also be pointed out that at the age of 27, during the season that marino had "many, many more attempts" than cutler, marino threw for just 1 more touchdown.

warren moon threw 26 at 30, jurgensen threw 26 at 28, fouts threw 24 at 28 and 29, dan marino threw 23 at 27 and 25. i could go on and on.

but but but but he said there was a possibility cutler could be good!!!!!!!

kyle's never said anything, ever.

but yeah, cutler set the bears record for interceptions in a single season, didn't he kyle?

actually, no he didn't. but favre is the single seasons packers' leader, peyton with the colts (unitas is second and third), tarkenton with the vikings, sonny jurgensen with the eagles, stabler with oakland. do want a list of great quarterbacks who have thrown 26 ints or more in a single season? In the modern era, in their age 26 season? Sure. lol during a full moon, too.
