Peyton Hillis vs. Mike Tolbert

[jap1]

So we have visits scheduled with both players. Who would you rather have?

Hillis has had some supposed attitude problems in the past, but ran for almost 1200 yards with our current OC Brian Daboll. Hillis is a great athlete and when he is on his game is well rounded.

We all know Tolbert from San Diego as the bowling ball that also has good hands and can block.

My opinion, although I think Hillis has more potential to be a more well rounded back, I would lean towards Tolbert.

The reason being is that getting Tolbert hurts San Diego which thereby improves us. Otherwise I would lean more towards Hillis as the better back (I think Crennel and Daboll could help motivate him back to his potential).

I would be very happy with either one, though.

Wow, Sd is trying to keep him- did we meet with this guy or what?

Yeah, we did. That story is a little poorly worded.

Tolbert’s market doesn’t appear to be crawling with suitors, however. The Chiefs signed Peyton Hillis instead of him on Thursday, and Tolbert isn’t known to have taken any other free agent visits.

He means besides meeting with the Chiefs.

Edited to add: Oh, and the "instead of him" part implies that we could only sign one or the other. That is not true. We could still add Tolbert.
