not to piss off ace, but reciever is a concern imo. i mean, is thomas really that bad that 38 year old galloway with what 10 catches last year and a 26 year old rookie beat him out? i guess so, the coaches know but dang if it aint a head scratcher. at the very least its a kick in the nuts that we had 3 2nd round picks 3 years ago and am going to walk away with a servicable TE and maybe a returner.
imo armstrong needs to get open sunday for a nice big gain and galloway needs to catch some short-mid range 1st down catches for both to stay in the receiver rotation. otherwise, we gotta hope thomas replaces them and starts to click.
if armstrong, galloway and thomas all maintain status qou, it could be a long season passing attack wise.

Thomas can't do what all the above average and great ones can. Run good routes, which in turn keeps corners on edge. When he can do those things, that's when he can crack the lineup. Otherwise, he's just like all the other athletic big WRs who bust out of the league for one reason or another.
