Dave just mentioned  he can't say if they'd be interested  in bringing him back bc he's technically  still a  Viking.  I love the youth movement  we have but I wouldn't rule him out for a playoff push. Especially  since he has mastered finding the soft spots in Tampas defense the last couple years. He'd bring knowledge to the wr room on that alone.

GM Dan Morgan:

- Traded Diontae Johnson and a 6th to BAL for a 5th.
- Traded Jonathan Mingo to DAL for a 4th.
- Traded Adam Thielen to MIN for a package including a 4th and 5th.
 

that’s master class work

Dan’s been doing better than I’ve expected but let’s not crown him yet. He was also involved in trading for Diontae and drafting Mingo in the first place…

Basically, fk him. 
 

 

lol

I def thought it was weird for him to ask out of Carolina but looking at the way the season has gone, I get it. T-Mac probably ate his lunch in training camp and it was clear he wasn't going to get many snaps. Thielen would have probably made a bigger impact early in the year when Coker was hurt but now there's not really a spot for him barring injury. Could see him on the Chiefs or Chargers or something.

Bryce has matured, and knows how to go through his progressions and look for the open deep man. Before he would just default to the "Thielen is open for 5 yards" easy button. Not having that forced Bryce to develop. So if he came back, he could fill the slot receiver role nicely. 

I got not animosity towards him. He wanted to go back to where he had roots for the twilight of his career; and we did him a solid. He never expected he'd have to endure "9" though. So if he wants to come back, no, objections here.

KC would make all the sense in the world. Buffalo could be a sleeper.

I hope he goes to the AFC and I know the Chiefs were the other consideration when he originally signed with us, but I don’t think their contention chances are very high.  I briefly thought about if we could bring him back to help, but I don’t want him taking snaps or roles away from the younger guys.  I’d much rather XL or Horn get any snaps Thielen would take.

It's like they started on trying to work on Jimmy Horn and were like yeah, we can just run the same gadget look for him for the rest of the season.    Development for year 1 is over lol.   

But Horn much like Renfrow doesn't fit a Canales O.   The big 3 are really the dudes who should see the field.

I didn't think it was weird. It's his final year. He thought the Vikings had a shot at making a real playoff run and his wife wanted to go back to Minnesota where they have roots. Carolina does nothing to upgrade the QB room, Bryce's past performances would lead him to think this is a paycheck, nothing more. I totally get why he'd want out of here. He wanted a shot at a ring and let's be honest, no one had Carolina making any serious deep playoff runs. He's still trying to get a shot at a ring.

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      By Swaggasaurus · Posted

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
