I think Thomas is more likely to have 0 yards and less likely to have 500, 1000, or 1500 yards than Olave or Shaheed. So I think starting with Thomas’ availability is flawed. With Thomas, all we add is an extremely unreliable #3 option who could go down at any minute and has 3 years of rust. It would be like saying without a megatron comeback the Lions receiving core is just a bunch of young guys. If megatron actually came back, the young guys would start over him until he got benched or hurt. Without Thomas, which we almost certainly will be and probably are better off without, we still have a stronger receiving core than the defending super bowl champs.

However, you want to put it I’m not going to argue over semantics. My statement was made not to throw shade at Olave or Shaheed (or rank them compared to Thomas). It was simply an observation that we do not have a lot of experienced depth at wide receiver outside of Thomas and Edwards. Tre’Quan possibly?

Your opinion of Thomas is widely know by regular users.
