Not many people know that Olsen is within the top ten all time with TD's, receptions, and yards. Most people also don't know that he's in a race with Gronk to be the first Tight End ever with three straight years of 1000 yards receiving.

Gronk obviously is a freak, and one of the more surreal athletes ever. His ability to literally truck stick half a defense is unprecedented.... but he's injury prone... he's not as big to their offense as Carolina.

Obviously this is a bold statement that's going to get flack... but he deserves his props.

5 games in for Olsen this year... 33 receptions... 520 yards.. 103 YPG

Is this...since I can no longer brag on Newton or the team how about....hmmmm?

Obviously you are talking vs other TE's.

As of right now I rank the TE'S

1.Tony Gonzalez
2.Jason Witten
3.Antonio Gates
4.Shannon Sharpe
5.Kellon Winslow
6.Ozzie Newsome
7.John Mackey
8.Gronk
9.Mike Ditka
10.Greg Olsen

Obviously the only ones who can move up on that list would be Gronk, who is the best TE in the NFL and Olsen. Witten won't be nudging out Gonzalez and neither will anyone else.

Kellon Winslow was the first "great" receiving TE and if the Chargers hadn't of had Charlie Joiner (HOFer) John Jefferson/Wes Chandler his numbers would have been way up there.

What you do have with Greg Olsen is the only Panthers who would be in the top 10 at his position all time.

Slow down rook... it's been 5 games... Newton has the best record in December in NFL history....

In the Panthers last three years making the playoffs they started....

1-3... finished 12-4
3-8... finished 7-8; made playoffs, won a game

Newton will come back and solidify his back to back MVP with a crazy second half season... but lets talk Olsen

I did talk Olsen. By the time he retires he will be in the top five all time for TE's.

In the Ron Rivera era the Panthers when starting out 1-4

2011...6-10
2012...7-9

When ya lose to a team you have totally owned for five seasons (8-2) something is broke and needs fixing. And, heading into week six is a lot different than freaking out after two/three weeks like the rookies do.

no. he's never been the class of his position. for the first half of his career he was just a decent player. he's become pro bowl caliber in carolina, but never was the best of the best. never been first team all pro, has been 2nd team all pro twice. very good player, not HOF material

I started to say.."if he has 4 more seasons like his last 4, he's in".....then I saw he's 31 years old, I was thinking he was 28ish. So you're right.

Not that his numbers still won't be superior to Mike Ditka, Dave Casper, Ozzie Newsome, Jackie Smith, John Mackey, who are in the HOF.

Not sure how age will effect him, it's always different, a very individualistic situation.

IF....he does play another 5 seasons like he's been playing, yep...HOFer. But, at 35/36 things should be different.

yes his raw stats are there, and they'll end up better than guys like ditka. but ditka was the class of the position when he was playing, its just that the era has changed.

i mean, do you think mike wallace is a greater player than don hutson because his stats are better? you need way more perspective than that. olsen isn't better than gronk. he isn't better than witten. and he certainly isn't better than gates. i dont think they're going to pump in 4-5 TE's from the same era... there simply wont be room to get him in

1-4

beat NO
lose to one of these..Arizona, LA, KC.
beat NO
could lose both...at Raiders/Seahawks
beat Chargers
win two of last three

8-8 maybe 9-7

UNT Eagles 2016
10-11-2016, 02:32 PM
beat NO, beat Cards, Rams and Chiefs, NO again, beat OAK away, lose in Seattle, beat Chargers, lose at Redskins, lose to Falcons, beat Bucs


9-7


But they're cooked for good if they don't win in the Katrinadome this week.

It's different when the best TE ever is playing - you are going to get overshadowed. But, as of today, and really I could argue the past two years - he was a victim to the hype machine of Gronk (which I admit is deserved but not to the point where the discussion is closed)

Also, I could argue Olsen helping Newton get to a 15-1 season with Ted Ginn Jr as the #1 is better than anything Gronk has done short the SB... but he didn't even play in all the games that year either

Speaking of stats.

In his 7 seasons Gronk as scored 65 td's, in his 10 seasons Olsen has 51.

Now add the fact Gronk is 27, Olsen 31. So we will be seeing far more of Gronk than Olsen and he's already scored far more times.

Spur-Addict
10-12-2016, 11:30 AM
Gronk: Age 27

6 Seasons:

65 TDs---380 Receptions---14.7 YPC---64.8 YPG---20+ Catches: 99---40+ Catches: 11---Fumbles:2---Games Played---83

Olsen: Age 31

9 Seasons:

51 TDs---575 receptions---11.8 YPC---46.3 YPG---20+ catches:90---40+ catches: 7---Fumbles: 7---Games played---147

NOT even close.

Even if you want to do just the last three seasons, he lacks notably in the TD department. Gronk averages double digit TDs a season. I like Olsen, a lot actually. But stop with the post-bait

Touchdowns aren't everything, and it's ridiculous to hold the fact that Chicago benched him until he was traded to Carolina against him. Since joining Carolina, he has been the biggest piece of Newton's throwing game. He doesn't have the touchdowns because he's not in a system that has two tight ends on the field over 50% of the time. Cam Newton gets a majority of the redzone touchdowns with his feet. Until recently, the Patriots didn't have a #1 receiver. The Panthers have 6'5 Kelvin Benjamin, and 6'5 Devin Funchess.

Greg Olsen is playing better than any TE in the league this year. That's not a question. Gronkowski will break every TE record in the book. But that doesn't mean right now he's a better player. He's certainly not more valuable . Look at Bennett's production.

One thing that is underrated is Olsen's blocking. He doesn't even go on every pass play. A lot of the time they need him to block. Gronk definitely cannot say that. The only tight end that can be put in the conversation of a two-way TE nowadays is Witten with Olsen.

You guys are ridiculous. Arguing with me that Gronkowski, who couldn't eclipse 125 yards in three games this year, because big fucking surprise, he's injured, is having a better year than Greg Olsen. Typical retard Avante.

If his injury-prone ass doesn't take the time to properly rehab his body, he might not end up with more TD's than Olsen when it's all said and done. His knees are made of glass and his blocking skills are that of a trampoline.

And before you want to talk shit about any team, Avante (http://www.spurstalk.com/forums/member.php?u=33483), just remember that you are resorting to pulling for a rival of your teams, who openly talk shit about embarrassing you over the years.

Let's see since 2010, Seattle is 5-2 vs Carolina. And in that time frame they have won a SB, plyed in two, as we know your Panthers got crushed in the one they were in.

Did you ever look at the career stats of Olsen and Gronk? If ya did you can't see the HUGE difference?

BUT....I keep it real, I dwell in reality. I never let my emotions get in the way of how it is, something you need to work on. The Niners totally suck right now and have been sucking for a few years. It has nothing to do with the Seahawks, I just don't play pretend. The Seahawks are where the Niners used to be. My thing will Russell Wilson is pretty much more about proving the know nothings they know nothing.

Some people try to argue 1995 Nebraska or one of these run-of-the-mill Bama teams:lmao

Their status as GOAT team was solidified by all the top-notch pro talent they had. Talk about STACKED, the 3rd-string RB was Frank Gore:wow

Clinton Portis, Willis McGahee, and Frank Gore backfield. Gives a new meaning to WE STAAAAAAAAAAAAAACKED.

Ed Reed, Philip Buchanon, Jeremy Shockey, Jonathon Vilma, Bryant McKinnie, Ken Dorsey, Andre Johnson............Do I need to continue? They damn near put the entire gotdamn team in the 1st Round. Najeh Davenport, Joaquin Gonzalez......gud lawd. I think Vince Wilfork was a Freshman on that team IIRC.

If someone tells you Nebraska fielded a better "team" slap them in the fucking face for me.

The best college teams of all time if we go with vs their competition was Michigan from 1901-1905.

They went 55=1, losing the last game in 1905 2-0 to Chicago.
Scored over 2000 points giving up less than 50.
They scored over 100 points 4 times and had over 30 shutouts.

Imagine a team playing three seasons and never allowing the opponet in their territory, that what's Bedford County Training School (all black school in Tennessee) did from 1942-1944. From 1942-1948 they won 78 games before a loss. The first 52 games they shut everyone out. That sounds like fiction, but it's not.

You know it never works that way in sports. I have no doubts the 2016 Crimson Tide beat up those old Lombardi Packer teams from the 60's. You ALWAYS go with vs the era...ALWAYS~~~~~~~~~~~

There are kids in high school right now who would totally destroy Jesse Owens in a 100m. No way Jim Brown is averaging over 5 yards a carry in 2016. What chance would Rocky "48-0" Marciano stand today vs these heavyweights?

I have used that 222-0 game many times in trivia. You'd be surprised at how many football fans knew nothing about it. First thing is there even enought time to score that many points?

It's not about who would beat who, it's..ALWAYS..about vs your era....ALWAYS~~~~~~~~~~

Those 60 Packer teams are considered to be some of the best ever, they wouldn't stand a chance vs the Jags today....none~~~~

There are HS offensive lines today bigger than any NFL lines from once upon a time.


The legendary/great Bullet Bob Hayes who changed the way defenses played ran a 10.06WR in winning the 1964 Olympic 100m. What is the HS record now.....10.00.

Getting back to those Packer teams, their monster DE Willie Davis a HOFer....6-2 245.

Right this minute the Chiefs have Tyreek Hill who while in HS ran a 20.14 200m, that would have won every Olympics up to 1968.

You're basically blaming the 2001 Hurricanes (in some type of way) because the other college football teams in the 1900s were complete shit.

I won't allow it. I simply won't.


If you want to say that the Michigan Wolverines were the best of their era....I'm good with that. But, when someone says, "Who is the best college football team of all time?" they're saying that if you put those two teams on a neutral field....who would win? Era has nothing to do with it.

Take the Bulls vs. Warriors debate last year. A lot of people debated which team was the greatest of all time. I'm sure there were some teams in the 60s (Celtics come to mind) that obliterated their competition like the 1901 Wolverines did. They're not the best team of all time though.

And you cannot hold it against those Michigan players that they were born in the 1880's. All you can do in sport is compete in the era you live in, all Michigan could do was beat those in their time. And NOBODY ever did that better, NOBODY~~~ They totally destroyed the competition, totally dominated unlike any team in any sport has ever done. This is why Michigan 1901-1905 was the best college football team we have seen. It's never ever been about could modern day athletes with all the advantages that comes with that beat old time athletes, it just doesn't work that way at all.

You read anything about the greatest RB ever and the first name you will read.....Jim Brown. We all get the fact he couldn't do what he did back then vs these defenses today, BUT....it just doesn't matter, it doesn't work like that.

How many times have we read...Jim Thorpe the greatest athlete of all time? Like those Michigan teams ya think if he'd had to compete vs black athletes we could say that? How would Jim Thorpe do today vs anyone, I'll tell ya....he'd suck. But....it simply doesn't work that way.

Back in the days of Jim Brown was a monster D lineman, Gene "BIG DADDY" Lipscomb, he was HUGE HUGE~~~ 6-6 285, right now tonight the Chargers will have.....19 players over 285 pounds.

I don't care what site/forum/whatever you are on, when....BEST BOXER EVER....is talked about you will always see...Sugar Ray Robinson in that conversation, he hasn't fought in how many decades? Hell no he couldn't bang with these guys today, but that is never the point, it doesn't work that way.

Who is the greatest boxing athlete of all time?



Muhammad Ali — Throughout his entire career, he only lost one fight by knockout. First ever three-time World Heavyweight Champion. Won 22 heavyweight Championship fights with 19 successful defenses. 56-5 career record with 37 knockouts.
Julio Cesar Chavez — professional record of 107-6-2 with 88 knockouts.
Floyd Mayweather — 43-0 professional record, with 26 knockouts.
Sugar Ray Robinson — 175-19-6 record, with 109 knockouts.
Mike Tyson — 44 of his 50 victories were by knockout.


There are high school teams today that could beat NFL teams way back when. How in the hell could those all white teams of the 20's-50's run with these Texas/Florida teams with all those speedy black athletes, yep, they couldn't.

No. 3—1945 Army, 9-0
Army absolutely dominated the college football season in 1945. They averaged 48 points a game, while giving up only five and recording five shutouts. None of their games were closer than 19 points. The Black Knights of the Hudson had back-to-back Heisman winners in 1945 (Doc Blanchard) and 1946 (Glenn Davis), and each ran for more than 1,000 yards in the 1945 season. Army beat rivals Notre Dame and Navy by scores of 48-0 and 32-13, respectively.
West Point bookended the 1945 team with two other pretty good clubs. The Cadets went undefeated and won the national championship in 1944, and played eventual champion Notre Dame to a scoreless tie in the 1946 “Game of the Century.”

Joe Curtis (http://www.spurstalk.com/wiki/Joe_Curtis) scored 49 points in a single game in 1904.


In Yost's first five years as Michigan's head coach, the team compiled a record of 55–1–1 and outscored its opponents by a margin of 2,821 to 42. The teams from these years became known as Yost's "Point-a-Minute" teams, owing to the fact that their offensive production resulted in an average of at least one point being scored for every minute of play.[8] (http://www.spurstalk.com/forums/#cite_note-AD-8)
In 1901, Michigan compiled an 11-0 record while outscoring its opponents 550 to 0.[9] (http://www.spurstalk.com/forums/#cite_note-9) The 1901 team (http://www.spurstalk.com/wiki/1901_Michigan_Wolverines_football_team) scored the highest number of points ever scored in a single season by a recognized team. The team became known for the speed of play, running 219 plays in a single game.[10] (http://www.spurstalk.com/forums/#cite_note-Summary-10) The fast pace earned the coach the nickname "Hurry Up" Yost. Michigan defeated the University of Buffalo (http://www.spurstalk.com/wiki/Buffalo_Bulls_football) by a score of 128–0 -- a victory so dominant that Buffalo quit 15 minutes before the game should have ended.[11] (http://www.spurstalk.com/forums/#cite_note-Buff-11)

They came way later in te 40's. "Mr.Inside" Doc Blanchard was the first junior to ever win the Heisman, Glenn Davis "Mr.Outside" ran 9.6 100 yards when the WR was 9.4, he also won the Heisman.

The first thunder n' lightnin' RB duo in college football of note. In the NFL that was HOFers to be Bronko Nagurski and the "Galloping Ghost" Red Grange with the Bears.

As we saw today and have been seeing, there is no QB in the NFL on the same level with Gronk, he's actually....freakish.

Bummer that Burfict didn't throw a punch, Gronk would have knocked his ass out. Helmet and all.

:lol how did I miss this thread?

Olsen is pretty good, but Gronk is the best TE I've ever seen at this level, tbh..

When the Broncos played vs. Carolina in the SB, I barely even remembered that Olsen played for them:lol..in the AFC title game, I was terrified every time Brady even looked Gronk's way..

Denver fielded the greatest defense I've ever witnessed last season.

Even then, in the AFC title game Gronk had his way with them. :wow

Without question the GOAT TE.

He's easily a top 5 TE in this league today, but that was a massive drop. Just a killer.

Gronk has scored 68 TD's in 7 seasons.
Olsen 52 TD's in 10.

Only a PANTHERS YES, wouldn't get that. The guy had a big drop today, actually cost the Panthers the game.

Gronk out for the year.

Olsen will become the first TE in NFL history to have three straight 1000 yards seasons.

Olsen has been the best TE in the league for at least two years now.

Will you ever take a few minutes and Google both guys stats? Look at the difference in TD;s as a start. And Gronk has less seasons.

Look at catchs, yards, average...ok?

Gronk is without question the better TE.

Before ya come back PLEASE do your homework, ok?

Meh, at this point Gronk's injury history has to be factored in. Fully healthy Gronk shits all over Olsen, but fully healthy Gronk is almost never seen. I'll take 16 games of Olsen vs 5 healthy games of Gronk.

In his 7 seasons Gronk has 68TD's, five times he's had double digits TD's in a season.

In his 10 seasons Olsen has 52TD'S and never scored over 8 TD's in any season.

Maybe the Pats draft Jake Butt and continue the dominant white TE legacy tbh.

The next dominant white TE wears lightning bolts, tbh.
