All hail our 1000 yard receivers

Kelvin Benjamin and Greg Olsen both finished with 1008 yards this year.  Im so glad we got Olsen years ago, he's slowly becoming my favorite Panther since both Hardy and DLo probably wont be on team next year.

 

If only KB could stop dropping the ball, he'd be up there competing for best in the league.

 

Here's to a hopeful win next Saturday!

Benji's gotta get over whatever it is that's making him lose concentration, but damn, if Olsen hasn't really turned himself around.  Remember all the things Chicago said about him?  Sure don't see that here...

 

the kid needs to be a huge off season project for Ricky

Turn himself around? Olsen was always good.

If we had only kept the core WRs from last season.

 

There were many on here who blasted Gettlemen for it.   Here is what we would have to deal with:

 

1.  Steve Smith's contract would be guaranteed for $7 m in 2015 and $9m in 2016.  While he topped 1000 yards in Baltimore, I am not sure that would have happened here.  Last season, Smitty had 745 yards and 4 TDs. Definitely not worth $23m over the next 3 seasons.

2.  We would have had to match offers to Brandon Lafell and Ted Ginn, both totalling over $6 million per season (Combined).

3. You would not know the name Philly Brown.

 

Gettlemen has to make every decision with the cap in mind.  He is taking a sick ledger sheet and making it healthy.  The fact that this team is in the playoffs for the 2 years he has been cleaning the books is incredible.

I want to give you all the pie.

    • As I've said numerous times the last few days, having Thielen on the field has literally 0% to do with my views on this (I've even said I think Renfrow is going to take a ton of snaps from Thielen anyways).  He has more value to this team without playing a single snap than a 2026 5th round draft pick does for the franchise.   His value is helping set up T-Mac, XL, Coker, and Horn for long term success by helping them learn how to be pros, how to go about their business, how to train, how to do all the little things that helped turn Thielen from a D2 undrafted player into a borderline Vikings legend.
    • He only wants to be traded because it's the Vikings who are calling. If he didn't want to be here, he could have retired, instead he took a pay raise to come back for another season.  I get it, it's an opportunity that he'd like to take, but we shouldn't cut off our nose to spite our face because he now wants to jump at this opportunity less than two weeks before the season starts. I'm not against trading him, I'm just against trading him for a return that doesn't help our team as much as having him on the roster would.  I'll put it this way, if a 5th is the best we can get for him from the Vikings and he's now dug in on not wanting to stay this year, I'm saying screw you and trading him to any of the other 30 teams besides the Vikings for the best offer we can get. He was perfectly happy here a week ago, if the Vikings soured him on that and then want to get him for peanuts, then screw them both.
    • Yes and no, he wants to go back and his wife most definitely wants to go back. He took a bunch of team mates to Minny and has worked out with JJ two offseasons in a row. It's where both him and his wife are from.    The money was basically a please come back and help Bryce. Pretty please...here's some more money.    Now he's agreed to a paycut to go back to the Vikings.
