"Panthers TE Greg Olsen
RE: Devin Funchess’ catch in the fourth quarter

“I told them then and on the sideline after, I said, ‘That was the play of the game.’ We needed to go down, they just went down and scored, we needed to answer the drive. We were up four, so a touchdown would’ve been great. He made a great contested catch, took a big hit, got the 15-yard penalty. It’s a 25 to 30-yard play. I told him that’s the play of the game. Those plays in crunchtime and in the fourth quarter you just have to hang on and take those shots. That’s what were paid to do. For a young kid to come in, that was critical. I think he only caught that ball, but that was as big of a play that we had.”

How awesome is Greg Olsen? The guy had a career day, and he lifts up Funchess instead. Amazing player and leader.  I was getting some flack in a previous thread about sticking up for Funchess, so I'm glad that my position on Funchess is validated.

I just can't get over how awesome it is that Olsen is the type of player/man that he is.  He is the consummate professional

You have to be worthy to wield this bad boy:

That was a huge play.  Funch should gain more confidence every week.  Gotta remember, dude is young.

That's a whole other topic.

I was so impressed that Funchess made that catch and just hopped up. That play made his day a huge success IMO.

Funchess = Vision?

We haven't seen his full potential and he likes cleavage?

The catch Funchess made truly was clutch. And I loved the first down point right in the guys face afterwards.

Dwayne Jarrett made an almost identical catch in a similar situation and took a huge hit against I want to say the saints.

Greg is the best.

 

Ever since he's been here he's been a consummate pro. There isn't one national interview he's done in the past three years that hasn't asked about Cam's "maturity", and Olsen always props his QB up and never shys away from the question, although he's probably sick of answering it. I think he's been a huge part of Cam's development as a pro, and now he's helping guide Funchess and I'm sure Benjamin as well.

 

The Panthers make it a priority to have guys like this in the locker room, and I don't think their value can be overstated.
