Theilen needs to stay. Clearly loves the game and has stuff in the tank. Maybe he can stay and trash XL how to catch like him. 

If Bryce and the offense continue to improve and if we bring in some more talent on the defensive side, then I think we aren't that far away from being a contender, especially if our division continues to be weak.  In that case, having a guy like Theilen (who can find the seams, get open, make clutch catches, and provide a veteran presense) is invaluable.  He can't teach XL how to catch, but he can teach the younger guys like Coker, Sanders, and XL how to prepare, as Steve Smith says Ricky Proehl did for him.

I'm cutting all the old men.  Theilen is gone.  Clowney gone.  They serve little big big purpose given what we are and where we are.  Young blood needs those reps. 

Thielen needs to stay.  He moves the chains on third down and appears to be helping in the development of our younger receivers (informal player/coach).  That and he is BY’s security blanket when Bryce gets flushed from the pocket.  Milk him for whatever he has left in the tank for one more season.  JMO.

      Boy the flyers look good early. Lots of bad plays and slow start by our team. Hope that changes before the score changes.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      I guess I should have stipulated outside the sacred cow.   I complained from year one that Bryce should compete for and win the starting job on his own merit but no he was just handed it. I have been right there with everyone that wants competition.  But I don’t really have a huge problem with it for this season the way it has gone because where are the viable people we don’t have to trade for? I actually am okay with tiny hands Pickett because he is so close to Bryce arm strength wise and to be honest, skill wise. Probably. And it is only a one year deal.  That also takes into account that the QB class is looking stacked next year and if Young fails miserably then we get either a reset or a real competition and there will be more guys that I would like looking at in the FA QB class next year as well.    I sort of accept where we are this year and look at it as another treading water year (at QB). I just want to get to next year with some clarity. More than anything. And they did empty out the room (behind him anyway). Again, who was really there for us?  And I know it would not be a true competition at this point anyway. They are giving him the year, like it or not.    Also I don’t give a poo about winning games IF he sucks and or goes down after sucking because draft position and that stacked QB class.  And I want out from under him So Bad.     So I guess it is several factors that lessen my anxiety over his backup this particular season.    I am not trying to convince anyone, but you asked. That’s how I look at it.
