Adam Thielen appreciation pie

[TheBigKat]

About the only good thing this year is his commitment to being a professional football player.

 

38 receptions

394 yards

10.4 yards average

3 TDs

 

the guy is showing up when others have called out. 
 

A veteran voice for a shaken young QB

 

glad he’s a Panther

He's played well and been what we hoped he would be. Unfortunately at 33 he's not part of the future. Gross-Matos has been the unexpected pleasant surprise for me so far this year.

[jfra78]

No pie for this team in any way this season.

[BIGH2001]

He’s kind of a modern day Ricky Proehl. Reliable savvy vet who just gets open and makes plays. Now imagine Proehl being a #1 receiver and you see a big reason why we are so awful this season.

He’s not part of the future but he’ll be around which I don’t see an issue in.

His constant complaining/throwing his arms up for flags is a bit of an eye-roll but no question he shows up every Sunday ready to play hard. Either by design or Bryce just trusting him, the passing offense runs enitrely through Thielen.

You know its even better if he happens to be on the field of play when they call his number instead of being on the sidelines............

He would have been a great addition if they hadn't traded Moore. Very likable player but he also isn't the future so hard to get too excited by his play given the entire situation.

Yeah, both have been pleasant surprises so far. 

[therealmjl]

Im actually surprised at how well he’s played.

Bryce clearly leans on him a lot. Just not enough to throw him a TD against his former team.

[scpanther22]

I wonder how much more fitt paid him than anyone else would have lol

[Cam Lawter]

Imagine if we didn't have him on the roster. I don't think offense breaks 100 yards a game

Even if we overpaid for him relative to the market, he's undeniably been a steal so far.  He's 33rd in salary for WRs, but 4th in receptions, 11th in yards, and tied for 5th in TDs.  And as patient as I am with Bryce, there's no denying that he has missed an open Thielen on a ton of plays.

[Varking]

He’s open at some point on almost every route.
