Olsen moves into the top 10

Greg is massively underappreciated around the league because of the way Gronk is making a mockery of the position in a good way. When you're playing at the same time as probably the best TE of all time in terms of receiving, it can diminish your shine a bit. But don't get it twisted, Greg is right there approaching Gronk. If he can snap up a few more years with Cam and win a Super Bowl or two, we might be fitting him for a jacket.

Gronk's goal is to be the dumbest player ever inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

He's definitely on pace to achieve that goal.

I'll admit to thinking that Olsen was drafted high because he was a Miami TE/ combine warrior. Totally thought Shockey and WInslow Jr. were better prospects/players in the long run.

Seemed to be correct for a few years in Chicago.

Olsen is a great example of how being in the right place (or being in the wrong one) can have such a drastic impact on your career. What a player, and more importantly, leader we found in Greg.

    • I like it, but really our future hinges on three very important and expensive things we really can't predict right now. 1. Bryce. He either is or isn't going to be the guy. We won't know until this coming season ends. If he puts us in the 10 wins category and continues to improve (that TD-INT ratio is the big tell there), he won't be cheap. But I don't think he's going to be getting anywhere near the bank breaking amounts, unless we see some kind of Drew Brees-type emergence. 2. Can Icky even come back to play? At all. LT, guard or RT. I sure hope he can and I'd love to see him at guard. If he can come back, though, he's looking at vet pay at whatever position. $10 million a year is probably what we're looking at if he has to change position, if he can still play LT then it gets very steep. We might end up looking at letting him hit to open market. 3. Taylor Moton. Love the guy and he's been the picture perfect Right Tackle. The question is will he want to keep doing this? He's getting long in the tooth but he's still a hell of a scrapper out there. If he wants to go and we really want him to stay, well that costs big bucks. While RTs are supposedly easier to replace than LTs, it's still a tough one for us.  And we won't know anything on this until after training camp and then season end. Dan Morgan's got a lot of stuff in the "still to be decided" bin on his desk.
    • In another post, Snow says about three years before you can properly grade a rookie class.  Sounds about right…
    • And this reiterates why I don’t want a Young contract extension. Please let us find another QB.
