How can anyone make the argument that Devin Thomas can't break a tackle or go up for a jump ball or be used as a decoy to stretch the field? Physically speaking, there's not ONE receiver on our team more gifted than Devin Thomas. It just doesn't make sense on so many levels.
The only conclusion I can come to is that Mike Shanahan loves veteran, warrior practice players. Look, Shanahan is a competent NFL coach but I seriously question some of his methods at times, which has ill served this team in my opinion.

I think you may be exaggerating a bit here. But it I am curious to know why a player like DT hasn't given a chance in a real game. The only think though is as SS mentioned, DT has been on the trade block for a while, so I wonder if they were looking to keep him healthy? I dunno.
