Thielen retires

Crazy that we might have made it a little further if we had Thielen playing over XL with T-mac and Coke as the primary guys

No we wouldnt

We might have inched past the Rams with Theilen as he might of helped us convert some of those 3rd and 4th downs. However, we likely wouldn’t have seen the emergence of Coker this year with Theilen taking his snaps away. The fact that we got picks for a retiring receiver is the real silver lining here.

nah, was a blessing in disguise cuzz they wouldnt have benched XL, Coker would have been a buried depth piece and never gotten opportunities.

Pretty darn good trade for us in hindsight, had some short term issues for a while there esp with Coker immediately getting injured after the trade. But it worked out for the best.

That's true, was just thinking hypothetically if Thielen had come back in that David Moore role we would have had a little bit more productive offense on moving the sticks

no doubt, IF we ran Tmac/Thielen/Coker our offense would have been better.  In fairness though, if we ran Tmac/a trashcan filled with used condoms/Coker it would still be more productive than having XL on the field.

Hate that drop for Jimmy Horn (ball was behind him) but Jimmy should have been getting way more routes weeks ago over XL

I'm sure he regrets leaving Carolina becuse he was non-existent after he left and he was a key part of Carolina's offense.  Great guy and I wish him the best.

I think everything worked out how it was supposed to work out
