I would say he was probably valuable in the film room, or showing the young guys what you can pick up from it. 
 

But at the same time saw him as a training wheel that needed to be taken off. 

Please explain. Not understanding Thielen as a training wheel.

Bryce relied on him so much and there are young guys that need to develop and Bryce needs to learn to use them. He looked for AT all the time.  
Security blanket. Comfort zone. Training wheels are nice and safe. Time for the QB to progress and incorporate the new guys.  
 

I am looking for the right analogy but let’s say you always choose something and I want you to do something different. I take your safe choice away, you have to do something different.

It is like when you go to da buffet at da Golden Corral and dey have all dis food and you get the same thing every time.   There is probably something you would like more, but you go to da same ol racks and get da same ol food every time.  Not sure why I am writing in trailer park dialect, but hey, watcha gonna dooo.
