ThatJerkDave Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 It wasn't Greg Olson that we were supposedly connected to, it was Robert Meachem. Robert Meachem was like if Javon Walker didn't know how to play football. Instead we got, probably, BJ Raji but he got injured. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The was a gamble and not like the Rashan Gary type of gamble where you think the player will be a better pro than college player either. Young me agrees with you. I remember that draft well. Olsen was a great prospect coming out and we had a need at tight end. I wanted Olsen badly. I saw the guy run the jugs drill. Where there were 4 machines set up around him at least). He had to chop his feet, catch a ball, drop it, then turn and catch another ball....over and over and over again. He caught everything and moved so fast that he was ahead of the machines. He yelled at the machines to "go faster!!!" Young me was impressed and amazed by him. But...then age sets in. When you have the opportunity at a "plus" big man on the DL, well, that is more valuable than a tight end. And...more valuable than a WR. And yes, we were linked to Meachem, not Olsen (sadly). So, I get what you are saying and I kind of agree, I wanted Olsen badly. But, it is hard to argue against the big man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he'd have played enough I think he would have been the greatest off schedule QB ever. The reason being, nothing would have been on schedule because he didn't know the playbook.

I take the Boise win but it's only because of the underdog story and the trick **** and I'm a sucker for that That Rose bowl game though man...I just watched both of them not long ago again too 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneTwoSixFive Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 (edited) @Norm I'm guessing this is the game (2007 Fiesta Bowl). That was a great watch, even though it was just 22 mins of highlights on youtube. Edited June 28, 2021 by OneTwoSixFive 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think situation dictates more than anything. Put Rashan Gary with a coaching staff that didn’t believe in him/wasn’t able to teach to players with dyslexia and he’s probably at the bottom of some depth chart labeled as a bust. Imagine Vince Young with a coaching staff that was able to create an offense he could thrive in and he’d be awesome. Some players have IMMENSE talent but due to situation they languish and don’t develop. It’s all hypothetical but just my opinion. Young was generational, Ted Thompson called him Michael Jordan.

I understand your point. And in some cases I agree. The fact that nobody really gave him a shot after makes me believe Vince Young just didn’t have it .
