Charles Tillman, CB aka "Peanut" signs with Panthers

I have paid zero attention to this guy or the Bears in general.

Please someone tell me how to feel about this.

Would've felt better if it was Tillman of 5 or so years ago, but no real reason to feel bad about it. He's a great locker room guy and will be a solid mentor to the young corners.

This is more of a depth/mentoring signing.  That dude can teach players how to punch the ball out for fumbles better than anyone.  Doubt he has the speed to play outside corner anymore...

He was very good back when he was young, healthy and coached by Rivera.

 

Only one of those things is guaranteed at this point, and one is definitely no longer true.

 

He's reputed to be a great teammate in the mold of Thomas Davis though, so we'll see.

    • He is "Keep Pounding." https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/45498715/nfl-carolina-panthers-chuba-hubbard-olympics-flag-football-track
    • This.  He knows where the seam is about to open, cuts, and accelerates hard. He’s slippery and tacklers always seem to be taking awkward angles to get to him. No dancing. Runs low and powerful. Almost never goes backwards for a loss. We’ve rarely had the guy who bounces off of tacklers. It’s nice seeing another one. 
    • I can't speak for others but yes I read it. The conclusions are based heavily around the use of the statistical metric DYAR created by football outsiders and used by ESPN for this article. It only includes players whose production began in 2000. But excluding HOF running backs who produced BIG in an iteration of the NFL that was not yet catered to making things much easier for offenses in order for them to prop up more recent candidates is rather absurd and seems like just playing favorites regardless of where one might fall on their opinion of the use of the metric in question.
