You’re probably right on that hypothetical sit out situation. I actually agree.  I just feel we have coddled Bryce for two seasons. It’s time to sink or swim. Thielen was not going to be here next year, and we have a QB decision to make. There are some pretty good QB’s coming out this year so we need to know if it’s time to move on.  This season will give it to us all, raw and unfiltered.

Hunter was always primed to be cut because he was not subject to waiver wire pickups.  Another team could not claim him.  Typical NFL move to not expose a young player with potential to waivers.  This was always likely.  

We are no longer dependant on a 37 year old ageing vet WR who wanted out for this team to succeed.  We are past that.  Dan did play hardball.  A 4th and 5th draft pick and we didn't take on any of his salary.  What world is that not a steal?

Cokers injury sucks as I do think he is going to be really good.

Black cat curse is a bunch of BS.

Love Hunter is back, but again, until we know what Tet and XL are this season, Coker was our best WR.  
 

so…

Coker was/is hardly our best receiver. No need to debate it; wait and see the results.

AT was basically Greg Olsen-ish for Bryce.

Scrolling through this thread I was going to point out the same thing same as I believe proudiddy also did above you.  Guy helped the hell out of BY and the rest of the team.  That may hurt us worse than the actual catches he made, though they were nothing to sneeze at either..

Come on bro, of course I know you don’t get paid if you sit out. That’s why the players call it game checks, which are prorated payments for games outside of bonuses.  Like I said, I agree he probably wouldn’t have sat out, but when you’re a multimillionaire with a simple life, your future is set.  AT’s life is not dependent on money. Don’t confuse his life with the plight of the ordinary man. 

I have never been a professional athlete but I understand the importance of locker room culture and distractions. Forcing AT to be here would not have gone well.

I am just curious on your perspective. How would that help us in 2026 and beyond?  We had to pull him out of retirement with additional $$$ just to play. This was Thielen’s last year.  

 

If AT was 30 years old and planned to play for 3 more years I understand the uproar. If Bryce can’t make it without a 35 year one year rental this year, he will not make it in 2026 and beyond.  We need to rip the band-aid off and see if he is a franchise QB to build around. If not, we draft a QB again and potentially start over with Canales pick at QB.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
