Overpaid?  The man is putting up Pro Bowl numbers.  He's the best FA investment Fitterer made this offseason and one of the best in franchise history.

Fitterer deserves a lot of blame right now, but signing Theilen has kept this season from being more of a cluster.  Theilen's earned every penny and more.

Right, hes on pace for over 100 catches, like 1400-1500 yards and 10 TDs.

He's good, but putting up better numbers than he would be if we had anyone else resembling an NFL-caliber WR on the roster.

Still, the fact that at his age he's the only viable receiving threat on the team and can still produce even though defenses know that is impressive.

I'm not dinging him because of his situation. He's doing his job, and he's doing it well. Other receivers wouldn't be, and honestly aren't as good of a route runner as Thielen has been over his career. The transition from the outside to the slot has been seamless. It's exactly how you want to do it. Hats off to him!

His skill set will allow him to play for another 3-5 years if he so chooses. Love that guy. 
 

These young guys can gain so much from him if they have the work ethic and want to. 

That was my hope when we signed him that these young guys could learn from a guy who's not the biggest or fastest how to create their own separation. Not sure if that will happen or not, but they should be.

Only guy Bryce trusts rn. I really was looking forward to the chemistry that 9 was forming with 15 and 17 during TC and preseason, but they have been a disappointment thus far. 

Hopefully Brown can unlock the code to get these other NPCs activated on gamedays.

    • I'm not a Bryce hater and I would 100% move on.  Especially looking at how the upcoming qb draft looks on paper.  Hopefully he continues to improve but if in 3 seasons you're still chasing average season numbers then he's not going to be the guy.  You've just got to keep taking swings until you hit.  Average qbs without any elite physical traits cant get it done anymore.  So this year Hopefully he continues to develop and is above average statistically.
    • Meltdowns???? He was pulled by Canales because he wasn't executing the game plan after 2 games into the season so he could watch Dalton execute the offense and show Bryce the windows available in the NFL, how to push the ball down the field and how to step up and move around when blitzed. When Young came back 5 games later he clearly watched and improved. Enough he was named the future starter. He doesn't have a history of  meltdowns nor is there any reason to assume he will have one. From what I have read he is mentally strong and emotional stable. He may have bad games down the road, everyone does. But this is all a learning experience for him and so far he seems to be making progress. I can understand being hesitant on anything Panthers, but Young has surprisingly been able to gain his confidence after a disastrous start. You aren't alone in being cautious but I think he is the future. I thought he was too small and too short to succeed in the NFL. Honestly I was pleasantly surprised last year and am optimistic about the offense for the first time since Wilks and Dalton were decent.
    • The Rams wanted to trade up for Williams who they ended up within the end. They even told him that when they called him to let him know he is the pick. The other teams are only an assumption. Like the Cowboys, who took a guard. The truth is the team wanted to trade down first and foremost but couldn't get an offer the were happy with. They took McMillan because they felt he was bpa at 8 plain and simple.
