I still see Thielen as the 6th best no matter what. I still don't understand the hype that's surrounded him. His career accolades include blocking a punt for a TD and scoring a meaningless TD in a non-playoff game. Woo. What else has he really done outside of that?? Score against Tampa's 2nd/3rd string in preseason?? Diggs has a much higher ceiling than Thielen does so that is why I am already putting Diggs ahead of him. Patterson has just as much and more versatility than Thielen does because he can play WR, come out of the backfield, and play ST. And clearly Wallace, Johnson and Wright are better than him.fiestavike wrote: You could make the argument that Diggs is the 6th best, but it seems clear to me that Thielen is more valuable to the team because of versatility, and I think he's a significantly better WR. When I think of the top 6 WRs on this team and ask who would it hurt the team the least to lose, its a pretty easy decision to me.
I understand that everyone loves Thielen because he is a local kid and I get that to a certain extent, but at the same time, some people have to come to reality and realize that he's pretty much the 6th WR on this team and will get limited offensive snaps barring any injuries. Plain and simple
