I love Greg, but I'm not so sure about that one. Gates was unreal in his prime. 

Greg has about 4000 yards to go to catch Gates and Gates has over twice as many TDs.

Greg is more talented than Gates, just like Gonzo was....

That said, that scheme, and his and Rivers' friendship/connection got him all those TD's.

 

What Gates did better than anyone at that position was box out, catch tough RZ balls, and he could find a hole in zone coverage as good as anyone...he was never the fastest, strongest, etc...just knew how to catch the football, and was very durable for quite some time.

Gates will go down as the best, IMO, but Olsen and Gonzo are more talented.

 

Edit: And that's what I should have said in the 1st post...not better, just more talented.  My brain is swimming right now.

Can't agree on Greg. He's very good and will likely make a case for being one of the top 10 greatest TEs ever by the time he retires, but Gates was better. Tony Gonzalez is the GOAT TE.

Understood.  We can see two players differently.

I watched the Chargers extensively...before marriage, and long work hours and the like....and Gates never looked as athletic or as fast as Olsen and Gonzo...but that could be because he was so smooth in his movements.

Either way, we have a really good QB, TE, and RB that would fit in Norv's system...again, not saying that he is my choice, but it would make some sense.

Twitter, not here.

I know I'm saying how can they be negative about Shula and Norv...would be curious to see some.

Most of the poo I see aren't even panther fans. On the link i posted it was mostly Cam haters from other teams....all the Panthers fans are/were happy.
