Im sure I wasn't the only one watching TNF tonight, and it was definitely a sloppy game by the Saints offense much of the game.
Im a neutral observer, but tend to root for whichever team has the most Buckeyes (when the Bears arent playing).
Seems like other neutral observers on social media were critical of Chris and was apparently a topic of conversation by NFL fans recently. Saints fans (obviously) are especially ripping Olave apart, saying that lack of effort was a big part of a team-wide meeting by Saints vets with Olave most likely being one of the catalysts of the displeasure by vets.
If Saints fans really do wanna trade him (which is dumb) I would gladly take him to be back with Justin in Chicago :)
Chris Olave has lately been stopping and giving up on his routes.
Is this becoming a problem for the young WR?

#Saints WR Chris Olave quitting on routes/half running is the most frustrating part of the on-field play for me. Look at this post route.
Guy has EVERYTHING to be a stud. Even if the call isn't for you make every rep look like it is. Hurst might lose reps but always gives 100%. pic.twitter.com/nuYPgN7HIH

^ this video specifically from a Saints observer states that Olave himself admitted being in slump and apologizing for "lackluster effort."

"Fans on social media noted Olave’s sagging effort in the matchup, where he struggled to compete for some contested catches and sustain blocks to help his teammates. At times, he expressed a bit of attitude leaving the field for the sidelines."
I am not trying to speak negatively on Chris, as he was always a great Buckeye and person, rather I am just relaying something I thought to be out of character and relevant regarding a former Buckeye.
