Greg Olsen...

[The Gus Bus]

The guy is probably the 2nd best TE in the NFL right now.

One thing I was talking about after the game with a few Carolina fans was why does he seem to fall down after every catch. You will see other TE's run over fokes, but he just plays like a pansy at times. Do not get me wrong he is great TE and I love him, but what is the deal with him and falling to the ground after every catch.

Probably?  If that freak in NE didnt exist he would run away with best in the league.

"... plays like a pansy at times"? You being serious? The fact that his game isn't to truck and rumble over people hardly means he plays like a pansy.

I didnt even get that far into the OP, holy poo dude?

Pansy? For real? Dude is a straight iron man. (or Thor)

I probably went too far with the word pansy, but when he makes a catch and just falls down instead of getting the extra yards he can get it makes me mad. It may cost us a game at some point.

If Cam calls Cotchery Clutchery, then what is Olsen?

Dude is having a hell of a season. I can't count how many times he's made a clutch catch when we needed it most. 

That 4th down snare should go down in Panthers lore.

Just stop.

Greg ain't a YAC guy. He is what he is and I wouldn't even trade him for gronk at this point. Gronk gets injured too often and Olsen is always strong and steady and plays almost every snap.

I see what you mean, but that isn't him being pansy, it's more Cam's throws not putting him in the position to make a play after the catch. When he does get that pass that allows him to run, he goes in

You understand that it is hard to run after catch when the ball is coming in at 100mph and not in your stride right?

[LinvilleGorge]

Greg values the catch above all else.  He understands that there are no yards after the catch unless there is a catch.  It's why he almost never  drops a pass.  If he has to go to the ground to secure the catch then that's what he'll do.

Greg Olsen a pansy?  Good lord.

How can you say that? Gronk is going to beat every te record out there, he's a beast.

Bring back the post creation floor.

Because at one point in the season Olsen was the only player in the NFL to play every offensive snap for his team. Here is the secret. He blocks too. That doesnt go on records.
