Devin Thomas

I thought everyone looked like crap last night, why do we have to single out Devin. The only player that looked good was man-crush Brennan.

I agree! The other player that looked good and has continued to do so was mason...he is developing nicely! Colt will by next year be the back-up QB! I think his upside is tremendous.

The team did not perform that well against the Jets and will need to work more in the preseason.

Devin looked like the game was passing him by...as most rookie WR get introduced to the NFL. The game will slow down and he will get faster...the real question is how long will it take?

give him a chance to develop.

Devin Thomas looked pretty pathetic out there but it's too early to judge him. Still, I didn't think his route running skill would be as bad as it was...then again, I was watching Santana Moss too...dude has mad route running skills.

DT was on STs, so that says a lot about a rook. If they think they are a prima-donna, then they don't play teams. It takes more than one PS game for WRs.

In a post game interview Devin stated that he was tired. I think the kid is not in NFL shape yet and is even further behind because of the hammy. It's going to take time. He ran a couple of kicks back and ran down on punts and is exhausted. He'll learn what it takes to play at this level but no one is going to feel sorry for him because he's our #1 pick. I wonder if any veterans have taken him under their wing? Antwan? Or is he a cocky kid who thinks he's got it figured out?

He's admitted he isn't in the best shape and was tired during the game. Give him credit for owning up to his poor play.

He is probably a little too far behind to make an impact anytime soon but if he is willing to admit his mistakes I assume he is willing to correct them

Honestly, seems safe to say Thomas doesn't have enough of a track record to expect or anticipate any particular thing. I believed at the time of the draft he made a strange first pick (regardless of the round) because in the first pick you want lots of value w/ a strong scouting report. He's just a kid who had a phenomenal year in college - not much else to scout. He's a kid that could have huge upside but just as much downside, we won't know for quite a while. I still think he was a strange 1st pick.

What Thomas will do this go around is be in packages in coach Z's O. Not a full time player. Next spring he will need to put in big time in the weight room and running along with hours with JC throwing the ball to him! This is not college ball and this is the big time. He will learn that like all 1st year WR's do!

Devin did cactch a ball as he was diving out of bounds. If he would have gotten his feet down it wold have been a completion. Had he gotten that completion, the thread would have read something like "Start him now" or "Devin Thomas for HOF".

He is still a rookie guys; give him at least 3 years before you call him out. On average thats how long it takes to develop into a good WR in this league.

Devin Thomas may turn out to be a complete bust or he may be the next TO. To even have an opinion about him at this point, however, based on his first preseason game after missing most of training camp to injury, is so stupid it makes me dizzy.
