Probably doesn't know the playbook yet and/or Fox is using this to teach the young man that he must earn it here. I personally think Smith, Thomas, and Gettis could be potent. Throw in "Hands" Lafell and "the project" Edwards, the future at WR is bright.

I'm with you on Smitty, Gettis, and Thomas... But I don't find anything bright with LaFail. I still have high hopes for Edwards.

Yeah, I figured it might be the playbook but I asked Gantt about it because Clowney played his first week here, although Smitty was still injured. Gantt just tweeted that he believes Thomas is the most talented guy out of everyone other than Smitty, so it must be a comfort level thing.

Yeah DG just tweeted back and said the same thing I thought above - Clowney playing his first week here had more to do with Smitty's injury.

So really he's had 3 weeks in the offense now and Devin only 2, IIRC. I'm sure we'll see him next week, if not, we may have Rod Gardner 2.0.

Thomas is vet. Why the heck would he be inactive in place of Lafell thats dropping everything. I was expecting to see Smith, Thomas and Clowney. It's been two weeks, I'm sure that Thomas has learned enough plays to play in this simple offense we've been running. Yet instead, we keep a rook active thats got bricks for hands. And what about our TE's, I think that all three are active. We could've deactivated one and started another WR. Ohh may bad, I forgot about our simple offense or coaches.

      Thomas Fletcher Didn’t Make It, But These Four Did

      Seriously? A CB who missed all that time on his rookie deal and was also a top 10 pick when the guys picked right before and after have been studs. A RB our GMs tried to replace with FAs and 2nd rounders and two backup level players is one of the best drafts we’ve ever had? I’d argue that the 2011/2012 drafts were better even with just Cam and Luke/Norman. Here’s the drafts I think were better: 2017, maybe 2018, 2015, 2013, 2011, 2012, 2008, 2007, 2001, 2002 (just Pepp) I’m hoping 2025 is way better as well. Honestly, we’ve kind of sucked at drafting overall and that’s the only reason you can even remotely call Horn, Hubbard, Tremble and BC a good draft let alone one of our best ever. Good teams that draft well would laugh at that as a great draft. If you want to look at say the 2023 Lions draft, you’d get 4 stud/above average/average starters not just 3 replaceable starters/backups and a top 10 pick that missed half his games. That’s a draft that helps turn a team into a playoff team. Our record since our 2021 draft is 19-49. A best ever draft doesn’t go 19-49.

      I remember when football was great.    Wasn't this century.

      Well, the Niners just doomed themselves to mediocrity

      Bingo. You can't pay that type of player elite franchise QB money. That average starter type player can excel when he's surrounded by top shelf talent in a great offensive system but pay him elite QB money and you're going to really struggle to surround him with the type of talent you need to carry him. You pay those elite franchise QBs because they can carry your roster. You can't pay guys who have to be carried. Bryce showed glimpses down the stretch last year. I really hope he keeps building on that. But before we back up the Brinks truck he needs to show that he's the type of QB who can lift up and carry the offense because when you pay those guys that's what they're gonna have to do.
