He legit has a personal problem with Adam Thielen and he's letting it jeopardize his content. It's honestly the only explanation at this point.

Thielen is carrying our entire passing game. There's no two ways about it.

my guess is he is a QB and has a lot of QB friends....Thielen isn't very popular.  As in runs his mouth too much for QBs liking.  Aren't there tons of clips of him going off on Cousins in Minny? 

OR

Thielen is just the prettiest ugly chick here.  Who we force feed.  And we are sort of blinded by the fact he really isn't that good.  But he logs our receiving yards between the 20s and is all we have doing it.

Either or all of that could be true...but was anything said in the video not factual?

I think he's been plenty fair to Thielen in the past...for example, thinking back to when Bryce missed Thielen for the TD a few weeks ago. He clearly sided with Thielen on Bryce's miss.

I think he understands what Thielen is/should be at this stage in his career. That's a complementary piece to the offense. Instead, he is the only WR on the team who runs good routes and that Bryce completely trusts, so he's getting the lion's share of targets when that shouldn't be the case.

As great as Thielen has been, I can't say I disagree with the analysis at all. 

I mean if Thielen is our #1 option and he treating/viewing him as such.....Thielen isn't a good primary WR by NFL standards.

Bruh, he's made his point clear. DJ Moore would be the #1 WR in the NFL right now is basically what he's saying. Thielen can catch, he can't outrun anyone tho.

DJ Could do both and would be DOMINATING the league right now if he was here. Water under the bridge, we gotta find a #1 in FA. We have our QB finally.

What part of what he said wasn't factual though? Being the biggest fish in a small pond doesn't make you a big fish.

    • Yeah but jumping up in the draft to get a project #2/3 WR is just plain not smart. I am down on XL because the thought was that he could be a potential #1 WR and he has been anything but that so far. Also, the idea of him as a slot is even more upsetting because you pass on several more productive slot guys(McConkey being the most obvious) that were TREMENDOUSLY more NFL ready. I was not a fan of the XL move at the time and I am not a fan of the decision in short term hindsight either. He is just simply going to have to be a guy that proves it on the field to me. McMillian was my #1 WR in this draft and I was a pro-McMillian guy. However, he isn't gonna get treated with baby gloves either. We are in the era of rookie WR's putting up 1k+ yd seasons with regularity. He's going to(barring injury) have to be one of the top 2 or 3 WR's in this class in terms of production. And that's being very generous to him. He really needs to be THE guy from this class. It isn't like he is gonna have a lot of guys taking catches away from him.
    • Thought this was an interesting moment of candor. See the 2:00 min mark. TD said he made the decision that he wanted T-Mac as our 1st round pick back in January. Dan chimed in and said he made the decision early as well (indicating the same time frame).
