Chris Olave was 2nd in the NFL in YAC in week 1

Victory hill probably bleeding out from cutting his wrists

Upvote for saying who was #1...

It was Olave’s first really good game. 1st game he’s actually been worth the price. Now we just need him to do that for 17 games a year for a decade straight in both regular season and playoff games.

He got hate on here last year bc there were 3-4 games where his drops or fumbles directly led to a loss. And as the player that we allocated the most assets to get on the entire roster, he bears a massive responsibility and deserves both credit and blame. Too many on here were acting like he was infallible and completely blameless last season.

All that being said, he looked legitimately awesome in week 1 and I hope that is the new norm for him.

I think it was a lot of people not liking what they gave up to get him. They wanted a QB this year.

And they were stupid

What a horrible take

Objectively, this just isn’t true. He had three games last year over 100 yard receiving and four games with 6 or more receptions.

I’m not sure what your definition of a “really good” game is, but by most standards, Olave had his first really good game in Week Three last year vs. Carolina with 9 catches for 147 yards.

Honestly I think our offense just looks...cockamamie. Just a collection of mid players and Alvin Kamara.

Lol. He's looking super smart after week one

Olave is a Marvin Harrison clone, complete with the avoiding contact. Not every receiver needs to look like Megatron to be great. His route running is elite and his breaks are so damn smooth.

Was some epic draft and post draft threads about how many other receivers were better and another blown pick. Pepperidge Farms remembers.

I loved seeing the saints line Olave in the backfield and run the Sproles/Kamara inside slant route. They hit at least two catch and runs to Olave from the formation. Such a hard play to defend when run by the right player.

That said, the saints gave up a ton for Olave. The eagles have Jalen Carter and another second round pick to come on their roster from the trade. I think most criticism of the move has been about the relevant value of WRs and the price paid to get Olave (and Penning). Olave and Penning really need to pan out for that move to be the right one. Olave at least is holding up his end of the bargain
