A touchdown for a good receiver

The throw wasn’t good, but he dropped that shite. Olave has had happy feet (for damn good reason, tbh) all year. We need a real wr1.

Throw definitely could have been better

But if you're a professional NFL receiver and the ball hits your hands, you should catch it IMO.

It was nowhere near a good throw but it was close enough where a good receiver makes that catch.

Olave is a decent player. But when you add in how injury prone he is with his skill level (slightly above average) he is nowhere near a WR1. Not even in the ballpark. He is a solid 2.

Bad throw by Rattler

But it would’ve been caught by a decent receiver

This is exactly what I said in the trade thread that year. Was absolutely retarded to trade up for him.

I said only Wilson was worth the trade up as he had number one potential.

And that entire 1st round WR class has shown to be just that, nothing more than top end #2 WRs at best.

San Fran about to put the game away here. Early in the 2nd half.

People don’t get it. I’m sitting in that EZ - ball was thrown WAY too hard & WAY behind. He was wide open.

You Olave defenders are something else

All the dude has done in his career is either drop the ball, fumble, run OB early, trip over his own feet, never try to get extra yardage, be a malcontent, be lazy and not even run his routes or look for the ball at times

I feel for him concussion wise, but it's clear he's just out there collecting a check at this point. He don't Give a frick.

It was a bad throw and olave stumbles coming out of the break. Got his head around late and couldn’t adjust to the ball. But don’t criticize rattler you’ll piss off the crayon eaters around here

And lost in all the talk about the pass in the end zone on the next fricking play a pass that would've been a first down hit him in the hip because he wasn't looking.

Shaheed caught a pass with the use of only one arm and a defender all over him. Adjust your body and catch the ball

I don’t think you will find a single soul here that claims he’s a WR1

Bad throw, but a nfl level receiver has to catch that.

Exactly, there were 5 plays to Olave in a row that he basically looked like a Little Leaguer. He didn't bring his pail in the first Q.
