Thoughts on Devin Thomas

[Boomer]

Thought he might of been active today but was'nt. I know the recieving core had a good day but I would'nt mind seeing what this guy can offer for us as well.

If Fail and Gettis keep playing like they played today I could give 2 shits about Thomas.

[OnlyPantherFaninMaine]

We will be seeing him sooner than later, I would suspect. If he starts to perform, we have a solid unit. I'm anxious to see how the season unfolds and I wonder who our 3 will be come seasons end.

Competition in camp = higher level of play

[Kurb]

Being one that didn't want to execute the rookies I look forward to him getting some snaps.

He was a talent coming out of college, will be curious to see how a change in scenery will affect him.

[Razeyfingers]

To be sitting and watching a 6th rounder out of Baylor showing everyone up must be inspiring. He's not gonna smell the field on gameday if he carries on like DJ did, but you would have to think that watching Gettis start in front of you means that anything can happen. It being his third year, he's getting close to the "now or never" deadline.

[SOJA]

I loved the way our rookies played today and they definitely showed some real promise. But lets be realistic: the niners are carbon copies of us in that they suck, everyone even Colbert and Drew Carter, and even Jarrett had a good game once in their career, rookies will inevitably have highs and lows.

All of this considered I really hope we get a good look at Thomas, if he pans out like I am hoping he will we could see Smitty, Gettis, Thomas, Lafell, and Armanti as our five-wide out keepers for years to come. This is great news because now we can get a pass rushing DT with our number one next year!!!

[SmokeScreen]

yea brandon lafell was good late in the quater...oh this thread is about devin...nvm.

Are you really going to nickname him "fail" during his rookie season?

He's not doing that bad especially compared among his fellow rookies.

[Baschski]

I think Thomas sitting was mainly a product of him being the new guy and having to pay his dues/learn the system before getting thrown in. He may get a shot over Clowney next week. The guy definitely has some talent there, and if he can bring it out we will be sitting pretty in the WR core.

[top dawg]

From almost everything that I have read---and I do mean everything---Thomas has all the physical tools to be an impact receiver in the NFL. If he immerses himself in the game and determines that he is going to be great (like he declared that he wants to be), then this may be the start of Earth, Wind and Fire! But, I'll keep that name on the back burner until I see him burn the opposition. BTW, Gettis is Earth because he seems so humble. Smitty has got to be Fire. That leaves the Thomas to earn his.

they're probably keeping him inactive until he can learn the playbook enough to actually make an impact

with the collective performance of our receiving core today, might be an indication they won't have to rush him onto the field

[PantherFan52]

Think of the endless possibilities! with the way our young WR's played today dare I say it, we could actually have 4 WR sets that work... Wow, I've always wanted to say this... For Shizzle(Dave chappelle voice)

Pretty sure they threw Clowney straight into the mix, so that can't be it.

We were out of WR's at the time.

If 89 didn't get hurt Clowney would have sat as well.
