Great NFL AM Interview w/ Olsen

Recommended Posts

pretty much said the outside criticisms of Cam were flat out wrong. emphatically said he was the same guy he was when he first came here. And that people like to nitpick because of the kind of guy Cam is and the level of success he had previously. said Cam has not changed in the way he prepares, his leadership qualities and being a teammate.

 

said he loved playing for lovie smith.  Sad to see him in this division because he's a good coach but was excited about the opportunity to play against him 2 times a year.

 

said the something is happening in charlotte, a lot of buzz about this team. said this organization is top notch. players get treated professionally but also really well.

 

said he thought chud deserved more time in cleveland since it looked like they were setting up for the future this year.

And later on in another NFL segment Eric Davis picked his top 5 NFL teams:

5. NO

4. DEN

3. NE

2. SF

1. SEA

So, an ex-Panther gives no love to his former team, which went 3-1 against his "best" teams. That one being only a 4 point loss IIRC. BOGUS! Lost a lil respect for Davis there. Usually he's an alright commentator.

Great interview.  Thanks for the link. Love Greg.  Also, noticed when they were playing the clip of his TD catch last week....Cam threw a perfect pass...stepped in to the throw.  If he can do that, accuracy is no issue.  Also nice catch by Greg....that ball was hot!

Pretty much what you posted was what he said verbatim

But...Let's not forget the other guy got rid of NE and replaced them with the Panthers. Sometimes, you have to look past the negative and see the reality. The Panthers  have never been a chosen team but that doesn't mean they are not a viable team.

    • I'd give it a C mainly because of Brooks.  If we just didn't have a 2nd I'd argue B to B+ tbh. Brooks was a bad gamble, tho one that could still pay off long term. Yes XL only has 400 yards but... Look who is throwing him the ball. And I think he isn't a "true #1" but he's been able to consistently get open. Hands definitely need to be cleaned up.  But he should end the year with 500-600 yards. Like you said - Sanders looks great.  Get him a better QB / more time with a QB and I think he's gonna impress. We added a couple rotational players on D that have both made plays and show promise for the future from later rounds. So I'd say, Brooks really hurts this drafts grade. It'll be interesting to see how it progresses over the next 3 years. I've overall really liked Morgan's FA acquisitions, so...
    • Oh he would absolutely flourish. It’s the panthers way. It’s no different with coaches. Sometimes they reach their expiration date, go somewhere else, and find new success.  Similarly to Burns, how long to wait for the light to finally turn on?  Market forces will demand a salary that the panthers can not responsibly match. Sliding him to guard will fit his skill set better, but he has played LT for 3 years. He will receive offers from other teams wanting to pay him LT money.  At guard, he won’t start with what they have paid Hunt and Lewis. Center then?? Dunno. Maybe? He will become a backup by default once they draft their stud LT. I doubt Dan just stands pat. That’s not his MO.  So where does this put him? Can you match what other teams will offer for a backup LT/guard? Do you dish out franchise LT $ on a guy who still needs significant improvement in pass protection. This team will be DOA in the playoffs with the very first team who has a formidable speed rusher. What if he has hit his ceiling in pass protection already and they sign him long term? It’s a big gamble either way. 
    • We're in a great position to see just how big of a misstep it would be, having made so many ourselves
