It's clear now that Thomas had the ability to do this, but until recently, he was lucky to get one ball thrown his way per game.

Yep.. and Zorn stated that Thomas' routes were often just to occupy a defender and open up other receivers.
Thomas showed promise (heh) in both Philly games and in the Denver game, but never got more than 3 or 4 touches a game. Double his touches, double his production. He needs to be seeing the ball 7 times EVERY game if the D isn't shutting him down completely.
