I never liked gettleman but he was heading right direction on these two

neither one on the field for us next week at our arch rival

We tie up so much cap space in vets on the wrong side of 30. Organizations do not owe it to their former stars who have already collected income from the post-rookie contracts.

If he can learn to sit in that Zone like Olsen can... then yep

Too early to tell, though it was wise to draft a TE.

Remember when Gettleman got fired because he played contract hardball with two guys who've severely declined and are alternately injured or suspended since the new GM met their demands? Woops.

I also remember that Gm signing M. Kalil and having a bitch fit with JNo. Cherry pick much?

Voth's latest piece on Panthers.com includes a section where he hypes up Ian Thomas.

If you're reading the tea leaves, that probably doesn't say good things for Greg Olsen.

I'm not even sure Greg Olsen thinks he is better at this point. We have lots of guys just holding on for nothing more than a check. Next year will be rebuild or reload depending on what happens.

Agreed.

Much as I hate to say it though, the reality is that Greg Olsen probably wasn't going to be "Greg Olsen" this year either.

Bullshit. He started out quick with a couple nice catches and dominated the Aints in the playoffs to close out the year. And he's not that old for a TE and has show zero signs of slowing down at all. Fluke injury last year for one of the most consistently healthy players and seemingly another fluke injury this year but we'll see how bad it is...

How you start doesn't matter if you can't keep going.

It was a fluke injury

Thank you. We are going to miss Olsen. Hope it's not season ending.

He was playing great before the injury. Just a freak thing. 

He had to shake off a little rust last year when he came back, but he looked as good as ever yesterday.

Greg is a physical speciman and keeps himself in top shape. He's still got another 3 years if he can stay healthy and wants to play.

I get the discussion about TD starting to lose a step and this potentially being his last year here by his choice or not, but that is not Olsen

[KendrickPanther]

I trust Norv Turner to put Ian Thomas in positions to succeed. 

[Zithers]

As good as any rookie TE from the past two seasons? So if he gets major playtime, he can rival Evan Engram and OJ Howard by putting up 60/700/6? You serious?
