I mentioned this the day it was announced....makes too much sense.  Us parting ways probably had more to do with money than anything.  No way we were going to pay Greg 11 mil this year.  Hurney prob asked him to take a pay cut, he refused, so parting ways was the only move to make.

Ok of course he is.

Said it before, Ron did a good job of creating a comfortable team....just not a winning team.

Olsen just wants to be happy and leave on his own terms, which is exactly how Rivera wants it to be. ..a bunch of happy players leaving on their own terms after a long career.

Guy is only good for a few games a year anymore at this point. Was time to move on anyways.

I'd rather have a team that was taking risks trying to build a winning franchise than just a bunch of players just waiting to to retire.

If Greg plays next year, really don't know if it will be to chase a ring.  A lot of the teams listed above either wouldn't have a need for him, or have their own question marks going into next season.

Something tells me he wouldn't want to be away from or uproot his family for the entire season either.  Broadcasting would give him some more flexibility I'm sure.  So if he's playing, going to be for a team that's only a short trip away (Washington or....Atlanta if no Hooper?).

Would y'all actually read the article before commenting? It takes all of three minutes. It was just pure clickbait speculation from a local DC paper based on pretty much absolutely nothing.

too bad washington is the only post you can't delete

Not click bait. It definitely could and probably is going to happen. Otherwise he could just retire.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By Icege · Posted

      "If only Bryce were <height>", he'd <insert stupid thing here>" was the bit and in direct response to multiple posters ridiculously blaming Bryce (and only Bryce) for the punt returns vs. New England. :3 I understand that folks desire balance, hence the "Bryce stans vs. Bryce haters" narrative but it's abundantly clear that the only people going into threads just to talk about Bryce are the haters. Meanwhile, daring to disagree that Bryce was completely at fault for something that happened on special teams gets the "stan" label. Shoot, I'm sure folks lump me in as a Bryce stan (Brycen stan? Absolutely. Bryce stan? Nah) just because I have the audacity to look at what the rest of the team is and isn't doing. 😛

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      By CRA · Posted

      PJ Walker is the only QB in the Tepper era the Panthers managed to find wins with.  Only QB w/ a winning record.    PJ had success in pro ball before the Panthers.  He he had NFL tools.    He just is consistent and unreliable.  PJ Walker is what you call a bad/poor man's gunslinger.  He can provide highs and lows both virtually guaranteed.  He is NFL depth.  Bryce Young hasn't proven to improve a teams chances of winning better than the PJ Walker tier of QBing. PJ Walker can do things Bryce Young can't......and that a problem

      There isn’t but the thing is the team/system/staff around the QB ultimately dictates how successful that QB can be. You have Baker getting released midseason here vs playing like a MVP on another team. Darnold on the Jets/Panthers vs Vikings/Seahawks. Geno Smith on the Jets vs the Seahawks vs the Raiders. Mac Jones is looking as good as Purdy on the 49ers. You have to build a roster, culture, and system for these guys.  Obviously the QB has to be the leader and help elevate the team, but we are seeing what moving a “bad” QB to a stable franchise looks like. Daniel Jones might be doing the same but it’s too early to tell.
