Thielen played 20% of the offensive snaps in 2015. He played more special teams snaps than he played offensive snaps. There is absolutely nothing relevant about a guy's snap count quadrupling during the magical "3rd Year Leap" for wide receivers suddenly producing more. Duh. Of course he did. He played.
Glad we've moved on from Diggs. Good call there.
As for Wallace, what precisely would you call a guy who went from 930 to 862 to 473 yards receiving as he entered his 30s? That's a declining player. He had himself an Indian Summer season when his competition for targets was a 37 yr old Steve Smith and a 31 year old Dennis Pitta. Good for him. But no, he was nothing approaching the player he was in Pittsburgh.
As for Kyle Rudolph - what about him? He was...there. He was an adequate red zone target. That's where you're hanging your hat now? Oh well - it still a better argument than Thielen and Diggs, I guess.
You're right though. Their passing offense really EXPLODED from 7.2 Y/A to....7 Y/A. I especially like how their QBR went from 57.7 to...uh...well shit, 53.1 under Bradford. But points per game! Yeah, points per game. It went from 22.8 points per game right in the middle of the league all the way to....OH ARE YOU ****ING KIDDING ME!?!? It went down to 20.4 and 23rd in the league??
Yeah - offense really went HAM after Bridgewater left. Sam Bradford took that squad that went 11-5 with Bridgewater and took them over the hump all the way to 8-8 despite the defense surrendering an identical number of points per game.
Seriously - what in the actual hell are you talking about. You know you can look this stuff up before you post it right. I don't have a jeopardy song in the background that's going to make you speak before confirming things. You can take a beat, make sure you're not pulling shit from your ass, THEN post.
