I hope greg has 3 more 1000 yard seasons to get people to finally show him some respect. Top 100 is a damn joke.

If he plays as long as Tony Gonzales did he  could play for at 6 more seasons. Although he's 32 now I bet if we win a Super Bowl this year or next year he'll retire.

For me Olsen is the best all around TE in the league. Gronk is the best but it doesn't matter since he averages about half a season. Others are close but haven't been doing it as long. I really admire the humble guys who just go out and play, but his lack of showboating is a big part of the reason he's not more popular around the league. If he's fine with it then so am I.

I'll probably get in trouble bringing up a GOAT name as people will get it twisted but here goes...

to me Olsen (while he hasn't done it near as long nor is he in the same historical level) is like a Jerry Rice.  He doesn't wow people with any single physical attribute.  On paper Rice was no Moss or Megatron or freakshow.  To me, that is Olsen.  There is a list of guys at TE who I would say physically have the tools to be better than Olsen...but aren't.  Olsen is better because he grinds ever game, all game, at the same level.   Olsen is also an example of of guy who realizes the game is largely above the shoulders and small details.  

I agree Gronk is the best.  But give me Olsen since he is going to play.

I have to agree. He's proof that hard work can and will beat out superior talent in many cases. Imagine if Jimmy Graham had the work ethic and toughness of Olsen.

      Winning isn't enough for Panther fans.

      Winning games and be a +500 team are good. But the goal is to win Super Bowl.  Chiefs had Alex Smith, went to playoff twice and still replaced him.   BY as of now: - To many fumbles - Completion in the intermediate range is just far below acceptable - Not enough of a deep throw threat....   The stats you try use is deceiving.  Catchable......  That is an opinion. Show me the completion %. And also, how does BY compare to other QBs using the stats you cited. Oh... ranked at 27

      The Entitlement Paradox: When Winning Isn't Enough for Panther fans.    Just the other season(s) we were praying for wins by any means. Brought in every run of the mill QB you could think of.  We know all sides of the ball was bad like egregious bad. However some how we have won 5 games and TOXIC ENTITLEMENT has emerged.    We are a team that has to take wins by anymeans nothing has changed. Keep pounding means it aint gonna be perfect!!    Some panther fans have now developed a toxic entitlement where even victories feel insufficient, demanding flawless performance, or perfection, which stems from historical success in which we dont have any lol. This mindset poisons communities by fostering relentless criticism, harassment, and ingratitude that undermine team morale and alienate casual supporters. For the new Carolina Panthers, this could manifest as fans booing Bryce Young after gritty wins for low passing yards despite low turnovers, pressuring tepper into premature changes mid-rebuild, or driving away talent through online abuse!! eroding the positive momentum from their recent 4-game streak has brought us. Trust and believe the players do see your toxicity.    Anyways here are some positive stats.      Most Accurate QB on... 20+ Yard Throws 1. Drake Maye (79.2%) 2. Sam Darnold (79.2%) 3. Bryce Young (75.0%) 10-19 Yard Throws 1. Jaxson Dart (88.0%) 2. Jayden Daniels (82.9%) 3. Drake Maye (80.7%) 0-9 Yard Throws 1. Drake Maye (92.9%) 2. Spencer Rattler (92.6%) 3. Bryce Young (91.7%) @FantasyPtsData
