Cam Newton: "When the game is on the line, I think we all know who I am going to go to"

Quote from his post game on Greg taking the blame. 

"Greg is a pro's pro," Newton said after the defeat. "When the game is on the line, I think we all know who I am going to go to."

Benji also said:

"Greg is a great teammate," Benjamin said. "He's one of those guys that prides himself on making plays for the team. But it wasn't all on Greg."

Every receiver or tight end has drops, even the greatest of them.

Going away from a great player like Greg Olsen because of some drops in one game would be absolutely idiotic.

Agreed.  I think Olsen may have been our best offensive player this season.

in key situations? when you HAVE to make the play? When the season is on the line I don't recall Gates or Tony G dropping the ball if you're gonna give other players on the team hell for fuging up its only right he is too. Nobody gets a pass for costing us the game

Yes, Gates, Gonzalez, Steve Smith, Jerry Rice and several others have dropped passes in key situations.  It happens plenty.

Greg Olsen is the reason we've won a lot of games and a big reason we were even in that game yesterday.

To suggest we need to move away from him is ridiculously stupid.

Love Greg, but that may have been his worst game ever yesterday.  The drop on the the final drive, the drop on the two point conversion, and the catch that was ruled incomplete that carried him out of bounds that he usually finds a way to complete inbounds...  just felt like he couldnt get out of his own way.

But funny thing is, Cam, Olsen, and Benji are probably the least of our worries.

4th quarter last year against the saints, 4th down, Cam throws an off target duck to a wide open Greg Olsen who dives backwards and catches it for a first to keep the drive going.

He's made the catch before. He'll do it again.

    • I don't know--they represent the entire body of players and this be determined, if it got to that point, by a vote of all veterans and rookies who are part of the union.  If the elite players are getting 50% of all cap increases, the non-elite players with shorter careers might want a bigger slice of the pie and vote accordingly.  To say that the Union would not go for it is not something I agree with--it would be the union that proposes it--based on a proposal and a majority vote.  If the veteran players vote for an equal distribution framework, then all 53 on a roster benefit from a cap increase that is applicable to the entire team.  Not sure how labor laws might be impacted...
    • Carter, Graham, or Walker and I might roll the dice hoping Walker is around later.  If Hunter is there at 8, we are about to get a really nice haul for trading back.
    • Oh well. That's his fault if he wants to eat up all the cap space and have no protection as a result. A big part of why Brady has all those rings is that he generally took team friendly deals. Not that he wasn't making a mega ass ton of money, but he wasn't leaving his team cap strapped due to his contract while Peyton Manning generally tried to negotiate for every dime he could get forcing the Colts to make tough decisions.
