Saints: Chris Olave left off list he was more than deserving to be on
The New Orleans Saints finished their season barely missing the playoffs, even though their record was terrible. It was a bad season, to say the least. The first year with a new head coach, a pretty well-built roster, but no consistency at all, and little success. Injuries derailed this season, and the coaching wasn't great […]
The New Orleans Saints finished their season barely missing the playoffs, even though their record was terrible. It was a bad season, to say the least.
The first year with a new head coach, a pretty well-built roster, but no consistency at all, and little success. Injuries derailed this season, and the coaching wasn't great either.
Honestly, it wasn't up to par with what the Saints have been over the last 10 years or so.
But, there were some positives that happened, for sure. One of the biggest positives that happened was the crazy rookie year Chris Olave had.
Olave, the fourth-place finish for Offensive Rookie of the Year, which I think is also bogus, Isn't even considered a top 101 player in the league. Not at 90, or even 99.
It's crazy really, as he was easily the best player on the Saints' offense in several games this last season.
Olave showed that there is hope for the offense in the future in terms of the youth showing up and showing out. He and Shaheed showed that this passing game, with the right quarterback, can be elite.
Olave played well in every facet this season. Sure, you could say Garrett Wilson was the best rookie in the league last season, but he and Olave were close. It's not like there is a huge gap between the two, because there isn't.
Wilson is listed at 76, while Olave isn't even on the list.
It's honestly kind of disrespectful. I truly believe we will be seeing Olave not only on the list next season, but we will be seeing him in the top 50. Being left off should only fuel him.
