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

Thomas can't go deep anyway so pot and kettle right there. He's a possession receiver and Drew is super accurate ala the most catches in a season?

Exactly. Fact is they haven’t had the receiving/TE group to push the ball downfield since Graham left. It’s been a mix of washed up guys like Gin, Sanders, Montgomery, that can’t get the job done.

I don't necessarily believe that, Thomas can't help it when Payton changes the offense to aid Drews failing arm.

Coincidence that Thomas caught 150 passes, the year it was noticeable that Brees would not throw deep? I think not. Payton saw the decline and changed the offense to try and help.

Thomas rookie year he ran plenty of deep routes and had some nice catches from them.

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.

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

They knew it prior to this year, in which his mouth proved he valued I as opposed to team, and was injured and then fought with teammates. This year he was sharply over paid and over valued.

That’s 4.0 seconds faster than me! What do y’all want?

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.

I don't hate Stafford, but I'd take Jameis over Stafford every day of the week and twice on Sunday's. Jameis would do very well with Sean.
