Thread: Bears Reportedly Sign Roy Williams

well, at least they are making moves.

Why!!! This guy is a bust!!

This is Greg Olsen 1.0. He is horrible. I know I know, he was great w/Martz...but that was in a dome, many many moons ago; and it wasn't all that special. He was run out of Det and Dallas for a reason. He has a bad case of stone hands, and a worse case of allegator arms if he's going to take a hit. He'll also string out his teammates...This jag actually said there should be a qb competition in Dallas. This is going to be ugly folks.

It seems like the trade off is Greg's toughness and good hands for Roy's height and speed: The same traits they were trying to force out of Hester when making him into a receiver. Spaeth is still a good substitute for a quick checkdown, he's bigger and maybe even tougher than Greg, just not as quick.

Basically we swapped Manu for Spaeth to be a better blocker (hopefully), and dumped Olsen for Williams, both are about the same size, but Williams is a WR, and Olsen is just a receiving TE. time will only tell if it was a smart move. Martz likes WRs over receiving TEs anyway, so guess he got what he wanted.

Anything to get rid of Manu. I can't get the image of him catching a pass and falling on his fat butt out of my head.
