He can definitely go deep and make the contested catch. The kid ran 4.43 at his pro day. Brees just doesn’t throw him one on one go routes. He barely throws anybody one on one go routes.

We've been on the board together for years and I feel like I know you fairly well. All I'm saying is maybe you could just say that he has a very weak arm instead of the disrespectful tone of noodle arm. I agree it's time to move on though.
It probably is a little disrespectful. I’ll give you that.

Debatable, "Thomas ran the 40-yard dash in 4.57 seconds at the NFL combine, a pedestrian time that made teams overlook him."

Re: B.Cooks Questioned Drew's Arm Strength 4 Years Ago

You don’t have to be a burner to stretch the field or be a deep threat. You simply have to be a good route runner and be able to catch the ball with your hands.

Thomas can definitely do all of the above.

And for those saying Sanders is washed up...he simply operates better in space. He caught 61 passes and his catch % was almost 75%. Not bad for a small WR. The offense did very little in spacing due to Brees declining arm allowing defenses to play up close to the line and tight coverage. This was the recipe late in the year for most of the good teams we faced.
