Former Bears GM admits mistake in trading Olsen


Mr. Scot

Recommended Posts

Four years later, Jerry Angelo - the Bears' general manager who pulled the trigger on the Olsen deal - looked back at the trade in advance of the Bears' meeting with Olsen and the Panthers in Carolina Sunday.

"He's met [expectations]," Angelo said on the "Kap and Haugh Show" Wednesday. "It was a mistake to trade him. I understand he wasn't the ideal fit in the scheme, but we let our best receiver go. Obviously, it was Cutler's favorite receiver at the time, and we let him out the door.

"That's on me. I understand what the coaches were saying, but you don't let your best player - one of your better players - out the door. Everything he's doing hasn't surprised me. He's an excellent player, particularly in the passing game. He's Newton's favorite target. I'm happy for Greg; he's not only a great player, but a great kid. Like Matt Forte, [he has] an insatiable work ethic."

Making me more pissed off at knowing how poorly we are utilizing Olsen!!!!!

Olsen always start the game hot, and then we decide to not look his way throughout the game for whatever fuggn reason!

 

it's no mistake that when we start getting hot in a game it seems to be when olsen's getting fed the ball multiple times on the same drive. dude is integral to what we try to do.

 

that said, he's on track to break 1000 yards this year… i'm not sure he's being underutilized.

Shula didn't even look his way vs. Baltimore

    • They use stats to create the basis of their grading system but the stats based on the outcome of the plays (that aggregate into what we football fans call "stats") are not incorporated into the grade. That's the best I can do in terms of explaining this to you. I've tried, every link from PFF has tried, yet you just keep on keeping on. LOL
    • PFF uses the term "context normalized-scoring," which is based upon statistics. Hell, any serious metric or analytic systems are based upon stats and expectations, and looks at what players do against those expectations, but If you don't think that stats play any part in a players grades, be wrong. At the end of the day, it's heady anyway, so everyone is not going to understand everything. I'm done with this conversation for now. But just know, it's OK to be wrong.
    • It's hilarious watching you crash out while being completely wrong. Every link you posted regarding player grades specifically told you that they aren't incorporating stats into these grades, that it's based on their evaluation individual plays. That sent you scouring the internet where you came back with soccer grades as some type of gotcha before you shifted to pass protection grades where you misunderstood that they were using stats to create the basis of their grading system but not in the actual actual creation of the player grades. Pointing that out sent you back to the internet to dig some more where you came back with their "Advanced Coverage Grade" metric which is separate from their player grade.
