How Dumb is Greg Rosenthal? [Article]

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

He said our defense was average last year yet we ranked 10th in total defense last year... just saying.

[MadHatter]

Don't need to...I said he is 10ish. You can interchange and argue 5-15. A lot of aging TEs and talented TEs cloud that field.

For example, you probably would argue he is better than a guy like Mercedes Lewis. I think Olsen is on the same tier

So you make a dumb statement. Someone asks you to support it. You say you don't have too.

Yep...about a par for the course post from you. Otherwise known as smelly crap that you pulled out of your ass.

Heh, he even responded.

He's a cool cat. Wish we had drafted him "somehow" so he could have been a lifer.

 

 

He pretty much will be............I doubt he plays for anyone else.

Nothing dumb about saying he is 10ish....and that area is cloudy with lots of bodies.

How is that pulling poo from your ass? I was responding to Kurb....and he seemed to take my reply as fair. Olsen isn't top 5....and there is a large cluster of guys after that. Could argue anyone in or out.

Theyre not giving us anything until we earn it

They are giving us plenty of dirty looks from down their noses. After all, we're a small market team. Isn't our purpose to develop players for the larger market/big fanbase teams to sn@tch away in free agency? Pretty sure that was a condition of Carolina being awarded a franchise.

 

Us silly little Carolinians aren't supposed to win. If we do that, the NFL won't rake in as much $$$ from the large market team's fanbases. Bottom lines will be in danger and they just can't have that.

 

On the other hand, who in the hell is gonna want to tell Da Kraken to get back in his cage so we can let a team that will draw higher playoff TV ratings get in instead? Who has two thumbs, is writing this diatribe, and ain't volunteering for THAT job? This guy.....

Who's better than Godfrey?

Perhaps you're right, but I can easily argue he has top five talent.

 

Regarding overall stats, you absolutely must take injury into account. Looking at their recent bodies of work, I have can easily argue that Olsen is better than Gronk, Hernandez and Gates.  The only consistent TEs that I can say are better than Olsen right now are Graham, Witten and Davis.  After those three, it's arguable.

I'm concerned about our secondary, but Olsen is clearly a top 10 TE right now. 

[mmmbeans]

Name ten better and defend them.

 

if we don't take blocking into account he's top 10... if we do... he's marginal.

[Zaximus]

People keep forgetting to mention Tony Gonzalez in this thread (even though I hate him now on that team).

[rayzor]

He's wrong about olsen, but he's not wrong about the secondary.

 

I'm not saying godfrey is good, but i do think he's the best one we have in the secondary. we have a godfrey, and old CB who's here more as a mentor than anything, and a bunch of unproven commodities...and i don't consider 5-6 games last year as being "proven".

 

i think we've got a bit of potential there, but right now we've got a secondary that is scary to me. not scary good, either. just scary as in i don't want them put in clutch situations. i think the pass rush and the front seven will limit the amount to which they'll be a liability, but if we get put in situations like that first ATL game or any other game we lost by less than 6 points i'm going to be getting a headache.

[top dawg]

I think our secondary, in general, is gonna surprise a lot of people this year.

 

Godfrey is definitely a guy to watch. He is already a ball-hawk. With the D-line getting some pressure on the QB, we may see CG's game evolve to the next level.

There aren't 10 TE's better than Greg Olsen.
