I do agree in principle with a new coaching staff evaluating each player on the roster with more-or-less a clean slate.  God knows we haven't had the stellar kind of coaches to develop players and maximize their skillsets.  I won't hold my breath that Thomas will amount to anything though.

Ron Rivera, Marty Hurney, Matt Rhule, Scott Fitterer, Frank Reich, Dave Canales, Dan Morgan. 

all I know, is if Ian Thomas shows up on the gameshow survivor...I'm betting my house on him to win.

This feels like a non-story to me.  TEs tend to take a bit to adjust to the position in the NFL so I'm not surprised Thomas would be ahead of Sanders at this point or even for this year.  Add in some fluff wording and, voila, offseason story.

Just like in the Brooks thread, I don’t care if Sanders starts off gangbusters but he damn well better be the starter by the end of the year. None of the offensive rookies has anything that should block their path to starting. If Tremble/Thomas/Hubbard/Sanders are good enough to keep their jobs, that rookie was a bad pick.

It just dawned on me that Ian Thomas is the 3rd longest tenured player on offense/defense, only behind Taylor Moton and Shaq Thompson (4th if you include special teams' JJ Jansen).  

And people wonder why we suck.

A competent franchise would have dropped him after his rookie contract.

A competent franchise would have had a better GM/drafting. Brown is legitimately the only above average starter we have drafted from 2020-2023 that has played more than 1/3 of our games and we’ve had picks 7, 8, 6, 9 and 1 to start. Truly incredible but that’s why Ian Thomas is even discussed in 2024.

I should buy his jersey.  Would put an end to that.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      Yeah they were bad QBs - but QB's that stayed on their teams for several years.  BY is better than all of those.

      This is the right move even if you think Bryce isn't the future. Everything except signing him to a long term deal until proven otherwise. There's a decent chance we have a shot to draft a QB next year that we like.

      If we're still bad enough that Canales gets fired, especially if it's during the season, there is no way we could ever attract any HC worthy of the job if we told them they had to keep Bryce their first year. That would be 2 coaches he's gotten fired and 4 years of not performing up to par. I still say replace both of them next offseason.  I like Canales the man and I think he's done an absolutely outstanding job at fixing our locker room issues, as it was really bad before he showed up.  But I just don't see it from him with his in game decision making, I think he's held us back just as much as Bryce has, just in different ways. Canales was our Dan Campbell, the coach you hire to turn the franchises culture around for the HC after them to inherit and take to the next level.   The difference was he had some elite coordinators early on and really let him focus on his "leader of men" role as opposed to the X's and O's that Canales does himself and it's turned out well for him.
