Laquon Treadwell would be better than Thomas in this offense. Again we accept what other teams consider average. |

It was obvious Payton liked his ability to work the crossing patterns and break tackles so he got him working to his strengths. Antonio Brown for instance didn't become the player he is now until his 4th year in the league. Watch Michael Thomas in his rookie highlights completely out-muscle the DB's he faces and it's impossible to deny he looks like a special talent. |

Sorry to say, but your point is utterly ridiculous.

Re: Defense Defense Defense
When Colston caught that monster pass against GB in 2008, that's not something I can see Thomas doing.

Re: Defense Defense Defense
I know nothing about the Steelers, you are quite correct, but didn't you say mid season you were "done supporting the saints" and you honestly think that a receiver who caught one pass all season, is better for us than one who catches 80+ passes. Fail.

Re: Defense Defense Defense
If you think Thomas is a future round 1 receiver in fantasy with the likes of Brown, Jones, and ODB well that's you but no way do i ever see anything like that.
