1.) Thomas has shown spark. With the ball in his hands he's maybe the most athletic guy on the team. In a sense, now that we have a real WR coach and a very real offensive scheme, Thomas' probability for success goes up dramatically. He's got to learn to run solid routes and create separation. He does those things and we have a monster on our hands.

2.) Any success Kelly has w/ us is just icing at this point.

3.) I tend to believe the Shanahan's would definitely have acquired more starting talent at WR if they didn't expect big things from our guys. Mike and Kyle will live and die by their offense, and if they haven't figured as much out then it's all really moot anyway.

I think the offensive scheme will maximize our talent. That means heavy doses of TE receptions. My guess is Moss and Thomas start @ WR w/ Fred getting work in the slot and Cooley at TE. If Kelly makes some strides we'll see him work at WR and the slot.

We'll see. Thomas seems to have the best chance to be the one that makes an impact. But when I see Crabtree walk in off the street w/ no training camp, miss a few games and he ends up catching more balls from Alex Smith than these guys have done in two years it really makes me doubt their ability. I just don't think these guys are any good but I hope I'm wrong.

I am not sure how the WR's will do, but our whole offensive structure - from Zorn all the way down to Hixon - and plan was so anemic, it's just not fair to compare it to Crabtree's situation.
I hope at least one will flourish this year, and maybe both will.
