That's the total number of catches our WR corps has in the NFL

Cool

We won 2 games and had the worst passing offense in the league and probably in decades with Thielen leading the team in receptions two years ago.

Some people are acting like we traded a hall of fame WR.

But Tmac is GAWD!

It's about the inexperience of the room

Coaches can't teach players everything, I just really don't like the lack of a seasoned vet WR (Moore doesn't really count with his 115 career receptions) to help these guys out.  Even just the in-between series stuff where the vets are giving the young guys tips and pointers on things, that will be missed if we don't bring someone else in (or Renfrow back).

He's gone. You should be happy.

In any profession in life you gain experience by doing. We need to know what we have in these receivers in order to move forward accordingly next offseason.

But in any profession in life, you also have people who help teach you the things they've learned over their career to make you better, particularly early in your career.

I'm not saying we need a vet to be taking a ton of snaps or targets, but someone who has been around the block (as an actual WR, not a special teamer) who can help these guys out.

Well then it's time to let our young guys get reps instead of a 35 year old in a season we probably aren't winning the Super Bowl

What more could Thielen have taught XL and Coker after a full season and two preseasons? We'll be fine. At the very least, we'll have a really good idea where our WR corps is at the end of the season.
