Thomas has launched his own website, complete with a blog he's been updating this week.. [url=http://thomas11.com/blog.html]Devin Thomas Official Website[/url]

It's good to see he's driven to prove his detractors and critics wrong and is working hard to JC to develop chemistry on and off the field.

I'm going on the record in believing he's going to break through in a big way this year and turn into a Brandon Marshall type talent.

He's taking the right steps. I'm glad to see it. He's a weapon with the ball in his hands and I think we'll see that more often this year. Keep it up Devin!

Good to hear that he's working hard with JC. If he develops into something special the offense could really take off.

That would be sweet, but it's kinda reaching dream don't u think?

zorn has to open up the playbook with this guy. too many backscreens to Moss. thomas has the potential to be a calvin johnson type.

..........what? You're talking about the once in a generation player who along with Larry Fitzgerald is possibly going to be in striking distance one day of all the records set by Jerry Rice. Thomas potential is more like that of Koren Robinson without the drinking problem. Which pretty much derailed a promising career for Robinson where he's now more of a good role player instead of a number 1.

Well he need's to step up and become a starter next season because we really need him to shine, no matter who plays QB... Even though I hope it's Campbell...

Man the skins do this to me every year, getting my hopes up haha. Can't remember the last time we really were expecting to bomb, every years seems to have higher expectation then maybe reasonable. Time to own in 09, LETS DO THIS!!!!!

I don't think it is reaching. The guy has the size, speed, shiftiness, and hands to be absolutely top shelf. I like what I see regarding his offseason. Let's hope it shows in September. As Mattyk indicated, significant growth in DT could seriously change the offense for the better.

And perhaps, unlike Marshall, DT can avoid sticking his hand through a TV.

Re: Devin Thomas Blog
 

He is very explosive, but the only way to take advantage of his skills is to get him the ball down field, if we can keep JC standing straight up long enough, he should come into his own. It's year 2 that's usually when a reciever starts showing what he has.

Re: Devin Thomas Blog
 

Nice to read, hope he can come through.

Not really. Thomas has excellent size, hasn't shown any propensity for drops, has nice straight line speed and seems to have the 'want-to' to be great. I'm not putting him in the Moss/Fitzgerald category but he's got potential to be a couple notches below.

If we keep JC standing up longer, he'll just have more time to hold onto the ball, not make plays.

Re: Devin Thomas Blog
 

Good to hear he is conversating with Campbell, you can't beat a good conversate.
