Greg Olsen’s behavior

Recommended Posts

I am surprised this hasn’t been brought up, but I’m slightly concerned with GO’s animosity on the sidelines.

i can’t recall seeing Olsen being as animated as he has been the last couple of weeks.

im almost concerned from his post game interviews and interaction with cam on the sideline that he doesn’t believe or is fading.

id like to hear your thoughts.

I’m sure he’s concerned with cams poor performance He’s a veteran and has that right. The young guys can’t complain

Yeah Olsen has been animated lately. Although the previous week it was due to what he thought was a bad challenge from RR, but this week I think it was because of Cams accuracy and I don't blame him. Cam has dealt with high throws his entire career and hasn't been able to fix it yet.

Last week at the Bucs he came off of the field slammed his helmet went to the bench and spoke to no one.

i think he was open and cam didn’t see him. That behavior is concerning.

even yesterday it appeared Cam was trying to talk to Olsen on the sideline and he wanted nothing to do with it.

This Mikey guy blaming cam in every thread is getting old

Well I praised cam before but he played poo yesterday Is it alloeed to tell the truth on this forum or is Cam a sacred cow who can’t be criticized? Shula and Rivera deserve much more blame than Cam

Cam overthrew him, left him hanging out there where he took a helmet to helmet on a defensive receiver that the ref refuses to call even though he was looking right at him. I'd be pissed to.

It may have something to do with a no call on interference on the first pass to him and the no call on the targeted helmet-to-helmet hit he got on the second pass. I'm sure the overthrows and just complete misses as the day went on didn't help.

The refs and Cam were making the day mighty hard on him. The number of times he was wide open and either not noticed or completely overthrown was disconcerting. Maybe he thought someone ought to get in Cam's ear and get him into the game.

    • What's up gents, the OGs remember me, the guy who single-handedly gave the Panthers the greatest uniform in history moniker. Not too long after that I got involved with Pro Football Focus (pre-Collinsworth acquisition) and ended up taking backseat here to preserve some objectivity. But from a distance I noticed a lot. After the end of the Cam era this place devolved into the most un-fun, petty, negative cesspool of whining and bitching that has ever graced the internet. The worst part of it all is that the level of discussion turned into the most ill-informed, hot-take, unnuanced crap, rife with people talking out of their posteriors as if they have any clue about what they are watching. Once you get into the professional side of the sport and actual film rooms, you start to understand there's an absurd number of moving parts to pretty much every snap and the details you are privy to are truly only half the picture. The absolute most important thing I learned from being part of professional level football analysis is that quarterbacking is literally the most intricate and difficult position in all of professional sports, and that the NFL itself is struggling to develop any workable model that allows them to understand what makes one succeed vs what makes one fail. Because of this paradox it has also made the quarterback position itself grossly overvalued from a fan and media standpoint, creating an absurd fixation on the results delivered by a single player who has to rely on the contributions of everyone around them. This also drives the dreaded inflation of QB salaries that inevitably cause even elite teams to lose key talent all to pour cash into the one player supposed to be able to single-handedly elevate the entire team (and defense and special teams and coaching and ownership by some mysterious proxy), yet without those same players even talented teams can wander the wilderness searching for the right guy to take advantage of their talent window. The discussions the last few years around Bryce has personified this insanity, as this board has devolved into some sort of electronic civil war between the hyperbolic Young supporters and the vitriolic Bryce haters. The reality, like practically everything in this world, is somewhere in the middle. He has traits that can absolutely elevate a team with creativity, play recognition, off-arm angle throws, mental toughness, etc. He's also physically limited, with mostly "good-enough" qualities for most situations that a professional quarterback is asked to do, and will never be an overpowering physical force like pre-injury Cam. But "good-enough" physicality represents a large majority of championship-winning quarterbacks, even in the modern era. There's a reason the corpse of Peyton Manning took the chip from elite physical specimen Cam, because the team surrounding him was talented enough to get him there, while we all know Cam was the driving force of that 2015 team. That's no knock on him, that's just how the game of football tends to work: the more complete team usually wins. The summary is this: if this team lives or dies solely on the performance of its quarterback, then it is absolutely a paper tiger even if he plays brilliantly week in and out. There are no superheroes in this sport, there are only conduits that proxy the collective efforts of much of the team around them. And no one alive can tell you how the position is played perfectly, it's all a confluence of circumstance and what unique collection of traits each player brings to the position, which can never be truly recreated season after season, even for the same player on the same team. If this place remains a raging hellscape of idiotic hot takes I will happily remove myself again and do something more productive for yet another decade, but maybe's there hope that we can all get back to the old adage, and keep pounding.
