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.

    • Because being a pauper in the NFL is still making a king's ransom. NFL vet min is roughly 18x the median salary in the U.S.
    • At some point I sense it's gonna create some hate and locker room cancer between these cap hogs and the rest of the players. When the top 6 or 7 players take 80% of the cap, the other 40 plus guys are gonna get pissed off, especially when they're still only winning 5 or 6 games. Why put everything on the line to play with guys who are only in it for themselves? 
    • I am just spitballing here--let it play out and I will go to bed: Let's say Mahome's contract comes due and he insists on $100m per season.  Is there a team that would find the money to pay it?  Would KC? It was in 2015 (I think) when Cam was getting $20m and it was hard to grasp.  In the past decade, the price of a franchise QB has tripled.  Then the next QB bases his contract on the Mahomes deal.  The trend has been the last QB contract is the highest.  I see nothing to discourage that trend--Greed can destroy a league.  Personally, I don't watch baseball any more, and the NBA has a small group of about 8 teams that appear on national TV and they have players who make more than some eastern block countries.  Ticket prices go up---and we are headed for pay-per-view very soon across the board-
