I think that Greg Olsen feller will have a huuge season

brethren and gal(s),

I think he's gonna be a huge part of the offense this year and can get something like 800 yds 10 tds or what not. This offense is going to be a juggernaut. Smitty-LaFell-Olsen-Tolbert-Stewart are all passing assets to Newton with more to come in Murphy and hopefully Gettis. If Cam really gets going on the passing TDs this season, Olsen will be a major benefactor and it remains my favorite acquisition with the new staff.

I think we'll see a lot of this:

I think Olsen has learned a lot from Shockey during his time here. He's definitely playing more aggressive than he was last season. I'm looking forward to Olsen playing more of a tight end role rather than just being a big wide receiver.

I thought we were going to regret not re-signing Shockey, but Barnidge is showing improvement as well. He's really making his presence known as a receiving threat. We're finally seeing some flashes of his often-mentioned pass-catching ability. I would like to see what he can do with Cam passing him the ball.

Passing Td distribution:

Smitty 10

Lafell 10

Olsen 10

Murphy 7

Pilares 3

Williams 5

Stewart 5

Tolbert 5

Newton 1

I'm optimistic!

inb4 someone does not complain about your assesment but do argue that this is the precise reason we shouldnt have paid Williams/Stewart all the money..

My thought on the newton td catch. Batted ball caught in front of the line of scrimmage and run in for the score!!!!

I'm optimistic!

Rucker seems to think Olsen, Barnidge, and Hartsock are good at both blocking and catching...

Before last night, I wouldn't have thought that Harrsock could catch at all... But I'll be damned if that dude didn't completely lay out for a laser from Cam that I honestly thought was a TD. No biggie, a botched snap later and Stew got to pay dirt!

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
