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.

    • So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?
    • Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.
    • Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
