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.
