I'm not against cutting Thrash. But I don't see the value of cutting and old veteran who's currently our 5th or 6th receiver/special teams ace to bring in another old veteran WR who's not going to want to do the little things Thrash does and would probably impede the development of Kelly and Thomas

You can't say he sucks because of one bad yr, due to team injuries. That would be like saying JC sucks simply cause the OL had issues.

I don't think he sucks at all

Most would agree he's an upgrade to our WR corpse so the only reason I can figure out is that you all just want to see what Kelly and Thomas bring to the table and so they will get experience. I'll agree the more playing time they get the better they will be, but I'm baffled as to why anyone would want to keep Thrash over Holt?

Corpse? Freudian slip there

Everyone wanted a young WR out of the draft or most did. We got two. Everyone was satisfied thinking they were going to start right a way and be our CJ, T.O., or Randy Moss. How wrong we were. One didn't get in due to injuries the other played a limited role and only caught what....2 passes? I would count the third but is was brought back. So if you ask me this yr was a wash. If they get any significant playing time this yr I would count it as their Rookie yr playing. Especially for Kelly.
Having said that you guys are willing to bank that our two WR's from last yrs draft are going to come out and knock the socks off other teams? I have faith in the team but would always like an insurance policy in case for what ever reason Kelly has to go under the knife again, or Thomas still has not matured and not running good routes. If for any reason the two don't step up atleast I would feel more confortable going into the season with Moss, Holt, ARE instead of Moss, ARE, Thrash.

I think Thomas had like 15 catches
