Gresham yards were 737 (2012), 458 (2013), and 460 (2014). Gresham also has a higher drop %, and Greg Olsen has had 1 Fumble the last 3 years, and Gresham has had 5 (and if you go back to 2011 and 2010 Gresham had 3 fumbles each of those years). Not to mention that Gresham causes much more penalties than Olsen. Personally I think Olsen is one of the most underrated TE's in the league (I think he's a top 5 TE right now).
From 2011 to 2013, Gresham had 1791 yards and 15 TDs. Olsen had 2199 yards and 16 TDs.
Not a huge difference really. Olsen is definitely better, but last season was a bit of an anomaly for both he and Gresh.
I don't see Olsen getting 1000 yards again with Funchess on board, and I think Gresh is capable of a little better than 460 yards.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
