He's top 25 in career fumbles forced. He also had four All-Pro selections. Allen should be a first ballot HoFe; the resume speaks for itself. Interesting. I didn't look up the numbers. I just knew he was GOOD. He is also one of the true characters in the history of the team, and actually, the whole league. He would be a good addition to the Hall. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was just a guy who was so good for such a consistent stretch, nobody really payed it in any attention (outside the year he had 22 sacks and was robbed of the award). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Because it's hilarious," he replied. When he signed his contract with the Vikings, he even made them make the final number end in "69." 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Diggs had a point with his frustration in Minny, as I believe he was only targeted 4 times a game last season. His route running is actually insane. He can't be single covered and his footwork is filthy; pretty positive the only TD Jalen Ramsey let up this season was to Diggs. Vikings fan here, he was right to want to leave. His production on your squad proves he was underutilized. And yes his 94 targets averaged out to like “4.8111” number of targets per game. He has always been a receiver on the same level as Hopkins, Thomas, Jones, Adams, and so forth. Just never had the chance to truly prove it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joru1000 Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 Elephant in the room is that Thielen just has the white receiver curse. White receivers simply haven't broken into the mainstream like black quarterbacks have for example. Thielen has as many circus level catches since being a full time starter as anyone else in the league... Hopkins, Thomas, Jones, doesn't matter, the guys' highlight reel is mental, but you'll never here anyone describe what Thielen does as 'Mossing' anyone, because he's not a tall, lanky brother.

I would take Adams, Thomas, Hopkins and Hill over him without any hesitation. If he can keep this up, we'll reevaluate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because Thielen was hurt in his last year with Diggs, He had a nagging leg injury missed some time and came back too early and got hurt once again.

SteelKing728 Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 I love Aaron Thieland. He's almost as good as Hunter Schmidt, our starting Safety. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
