Oliver always looks good when he's healthy.

When the injuries starting affecting his game, people will start pissing down his neck again

He's our new Kelsay

Let Daquan play it out. Everyone needs to chill. He is playing great but at his age he isn't going to have an amazing market in any event. No rush. Let's see how he lasts the season at his age. If we want him back that is a contract that will be doable in Feb or March.

I tend to agree, but more likely than not we will need to make some cap clearing move in near future. Jones' short extension is definitely one of the options...

Don’t be Elmer McBuzzKill.  I say sign him now, look at what Oliver has done with his new contract.  Get Jones another year, get that off his mind and let him completely focus on football.

Miami. With an owner willing to pay money he could get yearly extensions to put earned raises rather than be looking for a long term deal.  He's getting up in age he may not  be looking for years of playing.  He may just want a ring a little cash in bank to sail off to retirement hapoy.

I'd compare it more to Schobel, just because he was actually as good as Oliver 

[Buffalo_Stampede]

Weird for a player to outplay his big extension.

He might be trying to make up for the money Big Dareus stole from the Bills

Kelsay was never good.  Him and Watson had incriminating evidence on the Bills FO

Anytime you face a shannahan system you need quality DTs to control the pocket. Eddie O today was dominant

Believe it or not, he caught an enormous amount of crap on here the one year that he got hurt. It was nuts. I think I got into more internet dustups with the large majority of the board that was writing him off and ragging on him, than I have over any other subject (except maybe Bledsoe).

When he came back and immediately started bullrushing Tackles into next week, I laughed for  the entire season.

Oliver is playing up to his draft position.

Oliver must’ve hit a switch in his brain because he’s a much more consistent player. We’ve all seen flashes, but he put it altogether finally. Maybe he’s more relaxed now that he’s financially set.

Beane is starting to look a lot better with picks of Oliver and Rousseau. I was skeptical about Oliver. I was always hopeful of Rousseau because of his wing span, but these picks are looking incredible. and they compliment each other real well.

 

What a D line. Get healthy Von and take your time. We need you for the stretch run.

If Oliver looked like this last year, you could probably attach another 5-6M per year to his price tag.

Last year he played like this when healthy. He was just nicked up most of the year. 

 

And the point I made right at the start of this thread on Oliver holds. The underlying analytics always supported the thesis he was playing better than the pure production numbers showed. That almost always equals out at some point.

And this is why you make the deal when we did. People were ripping it to shreds when it happened. But he always had the skill and talent level to perform as he has. Something was missing. Whether it was Frazier's D or feeling like he wasn't secure after his rookie deal - who knows. But we paid him at a level that was fair for how he was performing. Now that deal is looking like we got him underpaid.

Agreed, I’ve been critical of both, more so Rousseau. Oliver has always made a lot of plays just not as many splash plays as some would like.

 

Also big props on Jones and Floyd. Their impact cannot be understated. They’ve both balled out.

He been rotated to much his whole time here. Now he's the guy and he can finally get a groove.
