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.

I really think he envisioned being able to help their rookie quarterback similar to his rapport with Bryce. That and the fact his wife wanted to go home. I get it, but his ship has sailed in Carolina. We also have David Moore elgible to come off of injured reserve Dec 14th.

I don't know why Thielen would do this. It's the last month of your last year. Just show up for the next few Vikings games and call it a career. Like if you wanted to ring chase, should have signed with the Chiefs a few years back.

Every year we see guys in their final few seasons try to latch on to contending teams for one last shot at a ring. 

Way more fail than succeed.

if he goes on to have the year darnold and jones have had after the vikings got rid of them then his final few games he is gonna go off , hard to believe they let darnald and jones go to keep mccarthy...

I think it took McCarthy getting hurt for Darnold to even get a shot.

Time for us to do something hilarious and sign him to our team and give him a 1 year extension for vet minimum. Then next year, trade him to Minnesota again for a 4th rounder

There's honestly a part of me that could imagine Dan Morgan doing that.

    • And that makes you right. 
    • Mel Kiper said he would retire if Jimmy Clausen wasn't a successful NFL starter too. Just because the experts make a claim doesnt mean it's true either.  Bryce may be a serviceable QB for someone. Serviceable QBs don't bring you a perennial winner or lead you to the playoffs over and over. Serviceable QBs also dont get 50m plus per year deals which is what a Bryce extension would look like.  The stats show he hasn't been even a serviceable QB in the 3 years he's been here. The eye test shows he hasn't put together 2 franchise QB salary games back to back in 3 years.  Complain all you want about people being negative, but people pointing out that Bryce is held to a different standard than anyone else on the team isn't complaining. It's stating the obvious. 
    • We have big bodied WRs and 3 TEs who all have potential and each bring something different to the table. I never saw the need to go out there and try and find a new starting TE.  While it's nice to have a guy like McBride, Bowers, etc, I think a team's better use of the cap is by having TEs on rookie contracts or cheap vets, not having to pay elite TE money.
