I never claimed Oliver to be anything but a young guy with potential. Never called him a bust, never said he was going to be good. I just think giving up on a high 3rd round pick after 2 seasons is too soon. Especially when we have a TE room that's this weak.

No I get you. You're usually reasonable, giving things time. Others are just flip flopping positions so they can continue to complain about every single thing this new regime does even though they haven't even went through training camp.

I just think it's way too late for him to try and make the switch to TE. I know camps haven't even really begun and he's a massive long shot to make the 53 man roster, but I think it'll be a big waste of time at the end of the day. Also I don't want this team dealing with the circus that Tebow brings to town.

That is incredibly hard to do.  I wouldn’t be quick to count him out. He has kept himself in great shape. 34 is still young for some people, especially if they take care of their bodies with good training and nutrition. I ran my fastest mile at 34 years old (sub 5:00).  I am giving him a 50-50 shot to make the 53. If it’s real close between him and someone else.....I think Meyer would choose him because of what his presence in the locker room would be.

34 is still young in the big picture of things. 34 is old and retiring age in the NFL. Two completely different things.
