Greg Olsen's Future


hepcat

Recommended Posts

With Cam Newton likely done as a Panther, will Greg Olsen come back for another season? Greg is a well known Cam supporter who has said nothing but glowing things about what Cam did for his career. Greg has battled his own foot injury but seems to have come back healthy this season.

Olsen already flirted with retiring this past offseason and joining the broadcast booth. He will be highly sought in the broadcast world, and could probably walk into the MNF booth if he retired tomorrow.

Olsen will be gone at the end of the year.

We fail to make the playoffs=major staff overhaul Rivera, Hurney, etc.

New Staff=No Cam

 

New Staff and No Cam= Olsen in the broadcasting booth.

I expect this to be his last year as well.  He had to think real hard about coming back this year.  

All this stuff makes his decision easier

This will be Greg’s last year regardless of what happens with Cam imo. And I don’t think we see Cam back either honestly. So this will be a very new team going forward. 

That said, we are actually on a great position. We are loaded with talent. We might have the new NFL MVP running behind a very young and promising Oline. Our defense has a couple of super talented DBs and a bucket load of pass rushers.

Most teams are in store for years of rebuilding when this happens. But we seem to have a chance to rebound very quickly.

Have you looked at the players that are under contract moving forward?

This team looks to be about ready for a gut job from top to bottom.  I can only see a handful of the old guard sticking around at this point.

Oline has a lot of young promise. CMC might be MVP. Samuel and Moore are talented young WRs. Ian Wright has shown flashes. 

Burns is a stud along with many other young and/or inexpensive edge rushers. Bradberry and Jackson are a legit set of CBs. Shaq has stepped up huge this year.

Sure, we have holes. We also have loads of young talent on both sides of the ball. Which was my initial point.

Olsen was done after this season anyway.  If it wasn't for the big paycheck he was due this year, he probably would have retired last year and been in the broadcast booth.  One of my all time favorite Panthers.

CMC is great.

Samuel and Moore are good, but Curtis isn't under contract after next season.

Ian is a hope at this point, nothing more.

Burns is good.

Bradberry and Shaq aren't signed next season, Jackson is up and down but is a playmaker.

    • I think there is good points in this thread to what the team needs to do. 1) Ball isn't really the issue but, he needs reigned in.  Coach and he need to realize when things aren't falling from the three and learn to play other facets of the game.  He's an amazing talent and when he's on, he's on.  But he can also shoot you out of a game.  We're lucky Miami went that way but that is too many missed threes.  He still needs to bulk up if he can, but he needs to drive more.  He's pretty good at finishing usually and hopefully the fouls come (probably not though).   2) The whole team needs to be more physical.  As others have stated, we need more bulk in our bigs.  Diabate is a hurricane of energy but cannot go against the larger centers.  I love him on the team but he should be more of a match up type guy or energy off the bench.  I think he'd be insane off the bench.  However I think the biggest issue with Diabate and Kaulk is the lack of offensive game.  The lack of a jump shot or anything.  Teams figured out to just leave them on the screen and crash lanes.  There has to be some sort of threat.  We need a 4 and a 5 that can do those things and stretch out the court. 3) Bridges.  He's just undersized.  However, I feel he really threw his all into it the last few weeks when others were gassed.  He was ok not being a focal point.  I'd like to have him off the bench as well but I assume he'd be traded to make things work.  4) Miller.  Dude can light it up when on, but disappears for quarters at a time.  Also he needs to work on ball handling and passing.  He's a turnover machine at bad times.  Also hopefully over the injury so he can bulk up too.   5) Kon. Just a rookie.  Long season and back injury.  I have no doubt he'll be back stronger and focused.  Needs to work on defense and physicality like the whole team but yes, a rookie he'll get there. 6) Coby.  Has to be resigned, no question.  The bench lineup is rough without him running the point.  Team has big potential and the front office seems sharp.  They seen the hive and how crazy it got and how much the city wants this.  
    • I still go back to the beat writers having a read on Rodriguez IF he was in play at 19.  If Dan puts his nuts on the table and takes him, pretty solid job of keeping the secrets in house.
