idk I don't see Thielen having the speed to work on the outside at this stage of career. he was deadly in the first half of season when he was going against linebackers and nickel corners. but once defenses noticed that and schemed against thielen, he was taken out of the offense. however, thielen is still a reliable receiver and hopefully with the addition of diontae and possible draft picks, we can spread the defense out more

He doesn’t have the speed for the outside.   He doesn’t have the speed for small ball slot.  I’d like his reps decreased and more situational.    He wasn’t deadly IMO.  We were the least threatening O on the NFL going through Thielen…..his yards per touch were sad.  That’s what I call him a glorified TE at this stage.  And he isn’t getting faster. 

and he is a double edge sword IMO given Bryce is the QB.  That’s where he is going to go….I wouldn’t care as much about him with a different QB

Thielen will be fine if we had two other receivers that drew coverage. He's a 3rd and 4th down chains mover at this point in his career

I think Thielen would be fine in a vertical offense where slot play isn't prioritized and essentially is a later read.  In a dink and dunk offense.....the slot is prioritized different.  I don't care what they are selling a disgruntled Johnson.  The X isn't going to be the main target/look for Bryce.  He can only run the slant so many times before defenses sit on it and take that away.  Then what's Bryce going to do over there.

Correct, but the 6 inches in height makes quite the difference 

Leggette is 6'1 and Coleman is 6'3.   

Leggette has a better vertical jump and IMO is the better athlete.  Which is why Leggette had better numbers with contested balls by a fair margin. 

Like I said, I get not liking Leggette.  I just don't get disliking Leggette and wanting Coleman.

      I swear, I don’t watch hardly any college ball and hadn’t watched him. When I went to the videos I swear it took me 10 minutes. If that, to see the future with him.

      That's only one of the posts you've made trashing DB my guy. At least half your posts since the season started all revolve around complaining about others opinions and complaining about the huddle and every single time it is about Bryce Young criticism. If you're going to go well out of your way to bash cornerstone players and leaders like Derrick Brown while not offering the same scathing criticism for the guy who had THREE turnovers in that same Jaguars loss then you are fully a clown who deserves to be ridiculed into oblivion.

      I honestly don’t know. I think he can be a good QB. At the very least he deserves a real chance with some actual WR’s and a TE worth a damn  Our TE room is straight ass. Our pass blocking his rookie year and this year has been ass. He’s never had more than 1 reliable target on the field with him at a time.  And some f’n how he’s we’re 9-8 since he’s come back from the benching. This team is starting to win and he’s part of that. His ability to extend plays and maneuver around in the pocket is overlooked I haven’t made a decision on 5th year option but if the option is 30 and the franchise tag is 40… I may roll the dice and see what year 4 has in store. However let’s see how we finish this year first
