I've got zero use for Treadwell.

With Diggs/Floyd out, Treadwell was in for a season-high 83% of Vikings offensive snaps. Had 3 catches, 28 yards. No special teams play.

I've been as hard on Treadwell as anyone. But at this point I want to see him with another qb. Teddy or Sam.

Being at the game it's even more obvious Case rarely even looks for him anymore and I think he should.

Laquon could have had more catches yesterday if Case gave him more of a chance. I don't get it to be honest.

Bradford only threw to him twice in 17 games. At this point, Keenum is the QB who trusts Treadwell the most.

I just think it's an offensive philosophy that tells Keenum to look elsewhere unless a WR has clear separation. Treadwell can catch in traffic, but the Vikings won't throw into traffic very often. And IMO that's smart - we don't have an offense that can play catchup so avoiding turnovers is critical.

You don't look for guys that aren't open. This isn't a QB issue, its a Treadwell issue.

IMO Wright deserves to be on the field more. He should have been last year and he should be this year. I don't understand it. I know players are X's and Y's and slot receivers but what about putting better TALENT on the field? Wright has good hands and runs good routes. He's fast and quick. He can and has played outside. He should be utilized more especially in the absence of Diggs.

Treadwell had 3 catches and Wright had 3 catches. The #1 WR, Thielen, had a total of 5 catches for 41 yards. Actually, Treadwell averaged 9 yards per catch compared to AT's 8 yards per, so he's getting first downs.

Wright had impressive grabs, but it's not like he "blew up" the stat sheet. I didn't see any drops by LT, and I thought he actually played well.

He had 1 on 1 coverage for the entire game. At some point you have to let him be the receiver he is which SHOULD be a guy that can go up and grab a fade. Or be that possession guy. He isn't going to be wide open often. But there are plays where we could use his size.

single coverage on a receiver of LTs size is NFL wide open. A true starting caliber QB would take that all day long. Rogers and Brady have made a living on back shoulder throws and jump balls to receivers in single coverage. Case Keenum is the issue currently and any QB that isnt willing to throw at single coverage is as well.

Why should Case throw to a covered WR when he's finding for the most part open receivers in other locations. Theilen for example gets open. Diggs gets open for the 4 games he's healthy per year. Wright gets open. Rudy gets open. Its a numbers game and Treadwell obviously isn't doing something the others are.

he throws to Rudy when he is single covered, Case just needs to get comfortable with doing the same with Treadwell. I think Treadwell is also often farther down on Case's read progression so he often finds a different place to go with the ball before he even looks at Treadwell.
