Quote:Bulger? Yes, but he also had Bruce, Holt, and Jackson (who caught a ridiculous 90 receptions) in the only year where Olson's offense was actually good. The following year, Bruce was no longer Bruce, SJax had a "normal" year, and Bulger became...well, Bulger.

 

As for Freeman? Hindsight its easy to dismiss him, but the guy was big, strong, cannon arm, and mobile. From a physical standpoint, he as as good if not better prospect than Blake. He just turned out to have some personality issues that prevented him from reaching his potential (after some early success). Thankfully, it looks like Blake has the right mental make-up.

 

As far as being "cool to see where this takes us".

 

Well uh...we don't have much of a choice, do we?

I didn't dismiss Freeman at all.  I think he's a decent comparison to Bortles - when discussing Olson's role.   I could have said "equal" upside I suppose, but that's just how I see the two from a "prospect" perspective. 

 

Of course we don't have much choice, but that doesn't stop the masses from endless whining on the topic.  I'm simply stating that I'm not inclined to do so, and I'm at least somewhat optimistic.
