Greg Olsen is a baller

Third Leg Greg

Lol just watched the Miami 30 for 30 thing last night on ESPN and they had Greg on there speaking a lot. Said he probably would've never recorded that had he known it would get outside those walls. Pretty funny

[CollegePanther]

Way go make this tread mainly about you. #IwasRight

Lol how have I?

Please tell me because I take everyone seriously who lists "Xbox Live: Chewbaccapube" in their profile

I still remember when Greg was drafted by Chicago and I had hoped we'd get him. I was so happy when we finally later got him. Anyone could tell he was gonna be good.

Greatest olsen since Mary kate and ashley. And they were my first sexual dream.(we finger painted each other's bodies)

two more top-notching showings and he could break 100 receptions. that would be incredible.

Just off of watching Walls play vs. Olsen and not looking at any numbers I would say Walls. He was the main cog in the offense for a long time. I'm having trouble articulating why I feel that way. I guess Walls was a better pure receiver without a doubt, but Olsen is way more athletic. Walls was pretty damn good.

Most good tight ends today are athletic freaks, Walls made a living moving the chains and being crafty. Most of the teams he played for didn't fare too well, but he was regarded as possibly the best tight end in the game and the best player on the Panthers. Any game that was broadcast nationally he was the player the broadcasters would highlight going into the game for the Panthers.

Maybe not hated, but nobody viewed him as a reliable player.

Um, everyone was ecstatic we got him. He was always known as a receiving TE, and we all knew we got a steal for him for a 3rd. The only knock he ever had was that he couldn't block.

You're obviously not remembering the events correctly.

most fans were excited we git him. Don't let facts get in the way of your story though.

[B.BERSIN]

If I say I expected him to be a 1000 yard TE, I would be lying.

He's so damn good and I can't believe it!

[Paa Langfart]

Olsen is my favorite Panther.  Worth every penny of his contract.  I know hes getting a bit old but I hope Gettleman extends him beyond next year - would like to see him retire a Panther.

you may be thinking about shockey. olsen was seen as a legit talent underutilized in chicago. shockey was a former saint and was generally regarded as a prick.

If Cutler is throwing how anyone catches it on his team is nothing short of a miracle. But now we have him and everyone will forget those dark times of playing in Chicago

Best TE in Panthers history and best rapper on the 7th floor crew

Walls and Olsen are both great.  I agree with others that there are subtle differences in their styles though.  If you sift out the differences in the type of QB and offense the two had/have, it seems like Olsen has a bit more of WR in him, while Walls had these huge hands that always seemed to make critical catches while being mauled in the RZ and end zone.

 

BTW, Walls is still in CLT.  There's a pic around here on the forum of him at a practice talking with Olsen and Shockey.
