Thielen update

[NAS]

2 catches  for 26 yards in 3 games 

What gives?

He thought the grass would be greener on the other side.

35 with a rookie QB that came from a run 1st offense in college. I’m not surprised.

Wentz is their QB for now and he got more targets from Mccarthy than he did from Wentz.

Lots of people keep getting this story about as wrong as can be, IMO.

This smelled of "happy wife, happy life."

Took a pay cut to take a lesser role in a place he and his wife would rather be.

I would imagine he wanted to retire a Viking, so it just is what it is.

It's also why I said he was much more valuable to us than them, which is still 100% true.

If he was as good as some have suggested here he would be a more integral part of their offense.

I've been to Minneapolis, not sure why he wanted to go back there

Yes, because if we had Justin Jefferson, TJ Hockensen, etc then AT would still be a 1k WR.

Hence the, "he is way more valuable to us than them."

Big difference in competing for touches against Justin Jefferson and Jalen Nailor than it is DJ Chark and Jonathan Mingo.

Though I guess Bryce was just able to elevate Thielen more than JJ could?

It's aggressively fine. In my personal experience people from MN are also massive pussies about heat. Also some other generally unsavory qualities about the average Minnesotan, as well.

They wanted him badly enough to give up a 4th

I mean, there is some truth to that. JJ has looked pretty rough, even by rookie QB standards.

Valuable to the team on the field more than the FO. We got quite a haul, all things considered.

Going to be a rough week at the Huddle for some if the Panthers win and the Texans drop to 0-4...
