Olsen very good in the booth

I think Olsen is tearing it up. He’ll probably improve technically, get slicker and more polished, but he is fresh and hitting it hard.

His game within the game stuff is the best thing going now. The route explanations and how things set up strategy or play design are better than I remember seeing for a while. 
I hope he doesn’t become irritating once the freshness wears off. I am almost there with Romo. He was fresh at first by a lot, now it’s meh.

Romo seems to have gotten full of himself and lazy.  Greg is very smart, seems to be a hard worker, and a fairly humble guy.  Don't think he will quit taking this seriously.  He seems very professional.

Looks like we're getting another year of Greg in the #1 announcer slot?

Good.
 

 

Brady is intimidated by  Olsen's competence. He is taking the year to practice. Would not surprise me if he decides to take another roll in 2024.

(I’m) going to take some time to really learn, become great at what I want to do … making sure I don’t rush into anything.”

He told “The Herd” that he plans to watch Fox’s lead broadcast team of Greg Olsen and Kevin Burkhardt call Sunday’s Super Bowl.

“I’ll be watching 50 percent watching the game and 50 percent listening to those two and hearing the amazing job they’re going to do along with the whole Fox Sports crew,” Brady said.

    • They know within 15 mins.  Many moons ago skins drafted Heath Shuler at like 5th overall and Gus Frerotte in the late rounds. You know the plan, its Heaths team. Old OLman stink said within 15 minutes they knew Gus was the better QB.  I didn't need 15 or players on the same field, I just knew like Bill said "he better walk on water", which he hasn't. I do blame tepper mainly for it, he spend the greater part of 2 year telling everyone Watson would be a panther......and fail....but a great fail...then Stanford turned panthers down.....tepper was beyond pissed and wanted a QB. He forced the trade and picked BY......and now by .....some grace of the gods formed a team with 4 QBs of no hope...... insane given the other roster spots.....
    • He definitely knows nothing about the Panthers, but there’s no denying he’s a pioneer in this whole draft grading and mock draft field.
    • I actually say wait five years since that's long enough to know if a player  became something worthy enough for a long term contract, whether with their original team or someone else. Therefore... 1 (8): Jaycee Horn - Has been questions about his durability but when he's healthy, he plays at a high level. Should we have drafted Pat Surtain or Micah Parsons, however? Arguably could’ve done better, but he's still here so that's a W pick. 2 (59): Terrance Marshall - Yet another classic Panther WR bust. I don’t recall seeing anything in his college tape that made me excited about drafting him in the first place.  3 (70): Brady Christensen - Proved to be a versatile player on the O-line.  As of now, we haven’t signed him back and I feel that we should. That's enough to say he was a solid draft pick. 3 (83): Tommy Tremble - Hasn't emerged as a consistent productive player, but he's had his moments here and there. We can certainly do better, but we haven’t found that guy yet so he still has some utility. W because he's not Ian Thomas. 4 (126): Chuba Hubbard - Surprise of the draft. It took time, but he's now our lead back.  5 (158): Daviyon Nixon - Had a half a sack with us and... that's it. I think I liked what I saw but it didn't pan out. 5 (166): Keith Taylor - Another guy I liked but only stuck around for two years. Played for a few other teams but nothing really to note. 6 (193): Deonte Brown - I really thought this guy was going to be a steal. He might’ve been the guy that had weight issues and never really got a handle on it. 6 (204): Shi Smith - He scored double the touchdowns that Marshall did in his short time here; it was two. Yeah, the Panthers wide receiver history is rather bleak. 6 (222): Thomas Fletcher - I had to look it up but he was a long snapper. JJ Jansen is immortal, so it was a wasted draft pick. 7 (232): Phil Hoskins - Actually recorded a sack here in his short career. Wish I could remember it.   Surprisingly not a bad draft when you have two good/great starters and a JAG that's still here, plus a good rotation guy most would like to keep.
