Thielen traded


Recommended Posts

If Thielen is the link to Bryce Young’s success like some of y’all seem to think then we are fuged.

But in reality Jalen Coker put up a 7 for 7 for 62 in the last game of the season and showed he can be a volume target.

We also just opened up a ton of slot snaps and for those that are unaware, yes, McMillan has played the slot and is a matchup nightmare there.

Then you factor in that we got compensation for a guy who is at the end of his career, has an injury history, and and may not even be in the league next year… I fail to see where the issue is even if the fourth round pick is in 2027.

We have an excellent group of young receivers. This move forces their growth and creates a nucleus we can have for years.

Exactly. This is still talented core that Bryce can thrive with. Its no excuses.

again the 4rth will help but is it worth Bryces development if the other dudes dont step up?

If Thielen is that crucial to Bryce's "development" Bryce doesn't have any developing to do.  He just is what he is.  We've got an extremely talented receiving corps even without Thielen.  No more excuses.  Time for Bryce to perform.

You’re suggesting our offense can not run without Theilen? Man, we’re in worse shape than I thought. 

It's just a question to try and get you to think about value to yourself (A) vs value to the marketplace (B).  And if A > B then you don't sell.

Agreed.

Coker and Horn Jr. 

 

Told everyone they were higher in Horn then it looked. Also said that Thielen was pushing for the trade internally. So he gets what he wants and the Panthers got there 4th plus 5th. lol

Coker for sure. I see him sliding into AT's role. I didn't see much out of Horn and would've rather kept Renfrow.

why would he want out after we gave him a raise to come back.  Its probably me but something is missing in all this

Maybe him and his wife were homesick and he realized he wanted to finish his career back there? I agree it’s odd considering the contract he got here, I just don’t know what else it could be

He lined up the offense a lot and helped call out protections based on looking at tape.

You are not wrong.  But neither am I.

Honestly, if the two of them wanted out after getting a raise this offseason to come back, then I'd rather have IR'd him with a papercut and just paid him to not be able to play this year.

They only wanted out because the Vikings badly needed a WR, doesn't mean we should have bent over and let the Vikings shove their horn up our ass

That move is the kinda thing that makes FAs avoid your team, and our reputation already isn’t great.

Something changed in between when he signed the deal for this year and the present.  I don't think it's a huge leap of faith to say he's not particularly excited about this season for the Panthers.

They are really, really high on Horn Jr. They spent a draft pick on him to be a returner/slot wr.

    • Idk man, I think it’s necessary.  There’s people working 9-5s everyday that get told poo about what they aren’t and what they’re not capable of and they’re working for scraps.  These guys are making millions.  People are watching and invested because their team and fandom is a part of their identity and a big source of pride.  When someone like Bryce comes in and is given chance after chance after chance after proving he is not worthy of the position he’s being gifted, and he continues to be the biggest reason above any that we are losing, yeah…  I think it’s fair to call a spade a spade.  Am I saying Bryce the person is trash?  Bryce the person is a piece of poo?  Absolutely not.     I came up in an era, especially in basketball, where if you were fuging up people heckled the poo out of you.  I played in rec leagues as a teen where the fuging parents were calling kids trash and yelling poo like “TURNOVER!!!  TURNOVER!!!”  “CANT DRIBBLE!”  “CANT SHOOT!”  And that’s adults screaming that poo to kids like we were in the fuging Rucker lol.🤣🤣🤣  I went on to play basketball at a collegiate level and with professional players in different settings.  What those experiences as a kid taught me was to see if there is any merit to what people are saying, and if there is, then work my ass off til they can’t say that anymore.  Come back better, tougher, harder.  And I did.  If kids can figure that poo out, an adult calling another adult who is bad at his job while making millions and millions of dollars will be just fine.  
    • I have tried to like this team, lord knows I have tried. BY9 is a nice young man, if I had a daughter he can take her to prom, but he ain't QB1 and he's not Cam or Delhomme Chuba is a average RB, he isn't Stephen Davis, he isn't J-Stew McMillan has the makings of a good WR, but he isn't 89/Moose D. Brown is a great player, but if the game was on the line I want Kris Jenkins       I miss this brand of football, even in the bad Jake games the games were entertaining It has been nearly 8 years now of watching numb football
