Did he I thought he was a good run blocker I’m not 100% sure I thought he did a good job but if you have certain games that he definitely failed miserably let me know so I can base my opinion off of facts.

If I had the time and access to the footage I would start doing illustrations of Ian Thomas' poor run blocking that drove me insane on gameday.

I don't have the time to go dig up Ian's poop run blocking, but this wasn't as isolated event. He drove me crazy in gameday threads.

I can't believe people are falling for Thomas's tricks,  he always has a good camp or 1 good game then he goes ghost! 

I'm sick and tired of hearing about him! It's been time for him to go! 

This guy has made a career for looking good in camp or have 1 good game.

Honestly I only remember 1 good game where he had over 100 plus yards and that feels like that game was his 2nd or 3rd year!! And I think this is year 6! For him. 

TIME TO GO!!!!

Having taken a pay cut and then being moved to #2 or #3 on the depth chart behind a free agent has to impact you. 

Didn't like the draft pick, didn't like the new contract so I think the experiment is about to run it's course.  Average TE and when your blocking is better than your catching in today's NFL, you are not in high demand.

This is why Ian is still here.  Another lingering kick in the nads by Rhule.

Dude is the 12th highest paid guy on the team and not even the starter at his position.  Getting paid more than Hurst this year who took his spot, smh. 

Yeah, he will get cut next offseason.

I could be completely misremembering but wasn't there a play where he completely chickened out on putting his head down and getting to the sticks on a 3rd down? Like completely laughably so?

Might've been looking at something different. You go back to the Broncos and Seattle games on the screen passes he lowers his head to try to get more yards.

He screwed up many so many of our run plays by getting blown up and pushed way backwards that it might have traumatized me. 

Yeah, I never understood this “great blocker” phenomenon. I recall it being said to support the contract we signed but I feel like I recall far more failed blocks in clips on here over amazing blocks.

Hell just put the top backup OT out there, teach him how to catch during down time as well.

      Well that's part of where the disconnect is then, you think Chark was a "solid NFL player" I couldn't disagree more, he's someone who had one solid NFL season and then was at best a JAG the rest of his career, I wouldn't call that a "solid NFL player" If he was a #3 WR and put up the stats he did outside of that 1 season, then sure, he's a "solid NFL player" but he put up those numbers as the #1 WR in 3 of his 4 seasons that he had meaningful roles and the #2 in a high powered offense the 4th.   That's not good and not what I'd call a "solid NFL player"

      Everything always makes sense in hindsight. Hell, I've seen guys who were touted by everyone as slam dunk "safest player in the draft" type prospects bust massively. Remember Aaron Curry? Robert Gallery? I'm just never going to say that a prospect is definitely a better NFL player than a solid NFL player. Better as a prospect? Sure, you can always make those arguments. But ultimately it comes down to what you do on Sundays and what you did on Saturdays just isn't relevant when you're talking about who's the better NFL player.

      And that's totally fair to say, but I think it also shows you guys are conflating what I'm saying with thinking I'm saying something like, "T-Mac will 100% have a better NFL career than Chark had" which is a completely different statement and one I'd agree, you can't really say about any NFL player before they've ever taken a snap. Because what I'm saying, is that T-Mac's actual ability and skills right now, are at a higher level than Chark's ever were, it's a completely different statement that is independent of what his NFL output will be. Look at it this way, without even knowing what the rest of Chark's career turned out to be, would anyone seriously say they'd take Chark after the 2019 season over today's T-Mac if they somehow were in a draft and we were deciding between the two?  As even after that season, his potential was never what T-Mac's is right now. Even with those other prospects, I'm sure some of them before their NFL career started, still had more ability and physical talent than Chark had, because again, this is so much less about T-Mac and so much more about Chark.  A bad coach, system, QB, injuries, etc, that derail a WR's career no matter how good they may have been and is much more of the reason they were a bust than their own abilities.   Chark was a tall WR with little WR speed, he was a deep ball threat and wasn't even particularly great at it, he was not that good of an actual WR. If the Jags had another above average WR in 2019, then Chark doesn't get his 1k season that I think people are getting too hung up on in thinking he was some great player in this league.
