If Belichick gets a hold of him, he'll catch 68 TD passes yet this year and pick up the place kicking duties as well

Clearly, the poor coaching of his early career ruined him. He would've been an All-Pro if he had been drafted by the Patriots or Eagles.

A no brainer move.

Re: Devin Thomas Cut By Panthers
 

The only problem I had with DT was his hands. Everything else seems to be above average. He definitely deserves to be in the NFL if he can shore up his hands.

Hands and route running

[quote=Mattyk;762536]Hands and route running[/quote]

Maybe so, but it seemed like when he played with us, he could get open, but seemed prone to drop key 3rd down receptions.

Re: Devin Thomas Cut By Panthers
 

Why can't I let go of the feeling that something can still be made of this kid? I'm, certainly not an optimist by nature, just thought I saw some potential is all.

He was a lousy route runner. rounded corners, telegraphed his moves, did nothing to set up corners. He may have been open on occasion but why bother looking for him if he's not where he is supposed to be 80% of the time.

He had lots of potential when he first came into the league. Then it turned out that his "potential" was all he was ever going to have.

The ones who make the catches in the games are those who rep the routes the same way in the games as they do in practice, and know when/where to expect the football on their body. Bad hands are a symptom of a larger problem. Just ask Carlos Rogers.

Re: Devin Thomas Cut By Panthers
 

As much as I cannot stand Michael Vick he was surviving much on his natural talent. That has changed. I have to give him his due as he has re-made himself with the help of others (including our own DM) apparently much hard work and discipline he had not had previously. He has elevated himself to elite status to the most dangerous player in the NFL at the moment. He did through work and dedication.
DT has not learned this lesson.
It ain't all about talent.............

Re: Devin Thomas Cut By Panthers
 

[quote=GusFrerotte;762230]DT being cut again just affirms my belief that you shouldn't draft anybody from MSU anymore. Lorenzo White was the last Spartan that really performed. The Lions like to draft MSU QBs, but they only ever make it to the backup spot. Hopefully Cousins and his WRs coming out prove me wrong, but I hope the Skins aren't the team taking that chance.[/quote]
Derrick Mason is from Michigan St.

Someone once described a specific baseball pitcher as a ".500 pitcher".

He supposedly had a ".750 arm and a .250 brain".


Adapt this to Devin Thomas as you will...

Re: Devin Thomas Cut By Panthers
 

Hope he takes a shit on us while he's with the Giants so everyone including Shanahan realizes how stupid they were for letting this kid go / not caring about him being let go. If it wasn't for him last year we definitely would have lost to the Bronco's and wouldn't have even gotten close to taking the Saints to OT.

If Braylon Edwards can fix the dropsies I think DT can too.

In two years on the team you can point to two or three games where he made a positive impact. And from that you hope that he comes and is an important part of beating us? He wasn't Antonio Pierce or Ryan Grant where he had a good productive campaign and the front office didn't re-sign him. (Even then I never hope those guys come back and beat us). He was a player who was given every chance to win a starting WR spot and he couldnt. I think I will take MS, KS, and the word of our WR coach over the spotty performance history of DT.

god some people are so stupid .. DT didn't even make the field for the CAROLINA PANTHERS .... we all had blinders on with this guy ... he sucks .. he's not going to turn into Brandon Lloyd ....

what happened to that stud wr the giants had in pre season? forgot his name but he was catching a lot of TD's.

Re: Devin Thomas Cut By Panthers
 

I didn't say I hope the Giants did or that we'd lose, I just said HIM, one person, he isn't going to win a game by himself, look at what happened in the Saints game, did all that work only for our D to lose it.

Devin Thomas is a great kid and didn't deserve to be cut for some idiot Roydell Williams or Joey Galloway, complete BS. Let alone we end up releasing Galloway anyways.

That's because he was a temp fix, didn't they release him anyways to bring up a safety?

He'll obviously serve a purpose while he's there especially since two of our remaining games are with the G-men. Don't know how much more he could offer that they don't already know, but he'll be picked.

Mediocre hands are the least of DT's problems. His ability to separate is straight up abysmal.

Go read the draft reports. Ability to separate was the number one negative against that clown.

Are you his BFF or something? Maybe RW and JG don't have DT's physical abilities, but they at least took their NFL job seriously.

But, as usual, the monday morning couch coach who's got two or three games to go on knows better than the coaches who actually watch the guy practice every day. Galloway got cut b/c he was slacking off on the field. DT was slacking off before he got to the field.

I like DT thought he would get better this season but I guess he did not take his football career serious enough during the off season to improve his game. DT cannot hold a candle to Joey Galloway who had a great career. Galloway is a stud to even be playing a wr at 39 years of age. DT will be another bust wr drafted by the Redskins ( Desmond Howard, Taylor Jacobs, Rob Gardner, Marko Mitchell,) oh Albert Connel was just a idiot who stole from a teammate's locker while playing with the Saints.

Nothing of that sort, I'm just pissed Shanahan is giving bum ass Malcolm Kelly more of a chance than Thomas. I mean Kelly is ALWAYS hurt, that man will NEVER see the field, yet Shanahan keeps him and not once gives DT a chance to show something.

I just think it's stupid to keep someone who hasn't played one preseason game and is always hurt, but release someone who played all of them and has showed he can stay healthy.

I know DT wasn't the best at what he did and some of his route running was suspect, but unlike most of our players, you had to have more than one person to bring him down. Remember that play against the Broncos? He broke what, 3 or 4 tacklers?

Re: Devin Thomas Cut By Panthers
 

You hope that he shits on the Skins huh? Why is Eli on your Fantasy Team? Why do we do this? A guy is released, traded, or cut and we instantly fall in love with them? I'm sure that Chad Dukes feels the same as you because he hasn't been able to let the Devin Thomas break up go either. It's not like this is Darrel Green got cut and you have a connection to this guy. He didn't win any games of note for us, so Devin I'll miss the way that you had your way against the Broncos that one time. I'll also miss that saints game when you were fairly productive. Id be remiss if I failed to thank you for your kick and punt returns that didn't excite, but i've never seen anyone get to the 20 yard line after running right to the sideline into all of the traffic. Will he be good? Who knows, all I know is that he didn't do much while he was a Skin, so eff him.

Good luck in NY I guess. I hope that you can find success on another roster, but when you play the Skins I hope that you suck all kinds of morning after a weed enhanced Thanksgiving Day of gluttony shit! Outside of playing the Skins I don't care what you do. HOWEVER, when you line up against the Skins I want yiu to know that you and all like you are dead to me u til the game is over. **** you very much! And Hail To The Redskins !!!
