There's also this. Getting Carr could mean Thomas is returning, as well.

So lets say by some miracle that having a QB that Thomas likes is the key to Thomas staying healthy after missing 40 of 50 games. Does that mean if Andrus Peat misses a block because someone in the crowd eating some Little Debbie Snacks catches his eye, and Carr gets hurt, Thomas will stop playing too? Is that what we need, a player who is only interested in playing if a particular teammate is available too?

Drafting Hyatt will make Thomas the forgotten man. Rookie contract, fresh legs, no drama, and eager. One thing I've learned about kids, they will play their hearts out. That's what I feel Thomas lost, heart. I wish him well going somewhere else, maybe Pittsburg and that freezing a$$ weather up there does him good.

Hyatt wouldn’t really be a replacement for Thomas. He’s a field stretcher. We’d be really thin and fast at WR.

O, Shaheed, Calloway and Hyatt I think would look excellent.

I'm much more concerned at what we will do at RB than WR

Welcome aboard Derek! Will be interesting to see the contract.

It would be fast, that's for sure.

I'm looking at pure seperation. Speed kills. It would spread a D thin easily on the backend. The deep ball would be there from time to time. Add 2 rookie rb's Clarbonett and Spears, the O could be hard to handle. Carr could thrive.

All of this optimism is making me dizzy. I'm sure there's got to be someone out there trying to piss in our cornflakes.

What about the former LSU WR Trey Palmer?
