He likes being the guy.  Helps that is is good, and a classy guy.

 

 

 

I don't get too worked up. I see all that stuff on the NFL Network about top (tight ends). And I take note of all that. But I wouldn't trade myself for anybody.”

Olsen, 28, is starting to gain recognition. Last season he made USA Today's All-Joe team, comprised of unsung players who have never been chosen to a Pro Bowl.

Olsen's teammates don't overlook him.

“I love the guy,” defensive end Greg Hardy said. “He's hard to cover. He's a good blocker. I've never seen him get the hand-off, but I'm sure he would take it to the house. I've never seen him have a bad play. He's always out here giving 100 percent in practice, even though he's like 90 years old. He's super fast. He's versatile.”

Olsen had his best season last year despite dealing with a health issue involving his newborn son, TJ, who was diagnosed with a congenital heart defect in utero. Two weeks ago, TJ underwent the second of three surgeries he faces to correct a condition known as hypoplastic left heart syndrome, which is marked by an underdeveloped left ventricle and aorta.

“He came home the end of last week and he's doing very well,” Olsen said. “So we're very fortunate. He's been great.”

Person, sucking Olsen off won't get you on his good side. Being a better beat writer, however, will.

 

And I wouldn't trade Greg for anyone either. Great player, great teammate, great person. Extremely proud to have him as a Panther and I'll be extremely dissapointed if he doesn't retire here.

Joe Person is such a bitch. He asked Rivera in his interview the same fuging thing. "Do you think the Panthers should bring in another TE."

 

Seriously dude how many fuging times do you need to ask that question. Literally half the people on the huddle would do a better job as a beat writer than him.

Olsen was probably genuine and sincere before his son TJ was born, but every time I see an interview of him since the twins were born I can't help but think that he and his wife must be the strongest people.  Proud he is a Panther

His stats matter little when compared to how he stands up as a husband and a father.  He gets an "A" in that category.

But he is one hellofa TE.

Hopefully all turns out as it should.

Those of us that still pray will pray for your sons tonight Mr, Olsen.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By frankw · Posted

      The same folks crying about the OL right now were crying about it in 2023 too. We have tied up over 100 million dollars in two interior olinemen alone. We've invested multiple first and second round picks in the offense. We hired an offensive minded head coach. This is an offensive team. The offense needs to produce or people need to be replaced.

      This is the same place that has ridiculed and blasted Caleb Williams at every opportunity he has his team sitting at 10-4 in the same NFC that the Panthers are competing in. And their division in the NFC North is as or more competitive as our division. Yet from the same people who have very high standards for Williams we get every excuse imaginable for the smallest starting QB in the league even when he and his team continue to disappoint when the pressure is on. You lot aren't any less inconsistent than anyone else.

      The Panthers are 9th in cap spent on offense this year.  However next season is already a different story  The Panthers as it stands right now will be 18th in cap spent on offense and 8th in cap spent on defense  The Panthers are currently set to spend more on defense next year than they are on offense this season Guys like Jaycee and Moehrig cap numbers take a big jump. Wharton has a massive cap hit   Jaycee Moehrig and Wharton in 2025 The same 3 in 2026 So this same defense as it stands right now will cost more in 2026 than this offense does right now… Got anything else you want to try?
