You'll get over it when you see the explosive year Gronk has not had since 2011 with Cooks drawing defenses, leaving him open. Little does anyone know if we do not beat the pats that team could very well go 16-0. We gave the pats another explosive 07-like offense.

And you will also get over it if Thomas gets hurt and the offense plays like 2014.

I think that should be a bannable offense. Send him back to SR.

Yes he is a perfect fit for SR... can we trade him to SR ? Is that possible... BnG would be a lot better without this goof posting ridiculous things...

I brought this up because I have been thinking about FF so early now and the fact I won't draft anyone but DJ among RBs in round 1 and how I feel Demarco is gonna get hurt so Henry has his chance. My fantasy strategy is based on every other year and how often players come back from down years and how players with sudden surprise years end up not sustaining that success. Thomas came to mind quickly when naming my recent success of picking up players in free agency in Evans(2014 he was not the #1), Hurns, Decker, Thomas, TyWill and how the first three nevr did as well the next year because of injury(Decker), misuse(Winston) or bad qb play(Bortles). I am just saying.

I mean if we run the ball more, Thomas probably will have less yards and TDs and that will be his down season. I can see the Fleener second year effect anyway because I stand by Brees and his "second chance reputation"(as is the motto of NO city itself) he has and the fact SP is going to experiment with his new toys. I'm not expecting another 11 TD season from Thomas one year later.

Colston was not elite. He was a very good player who also benifited from Brees play, gave 100%, and stayed out of Drama.

I could care less about Gronk, Cooks, Brady, and the Patriots. Your if Thomas gets hurt applies to every team. What if Cooks and Brady get hurt? How is Gronks back by the way? Our offense goes through Drew! You should be more concerned with the health of Armstead, Peat, Unger, Warford, Strief. Keep Drew upright. We lost Sproles, Graham, Bush, etc and kept rolling. Heck If PJ Williams, Breaux, Rankins, Ellerbe, Kikaha etc had not been injured, we may have made the playoffs last year.

But people sure piss and moan about him not making the pro bowls over Dez, Jones, Nelson, Jennings, DJac.Such Players that really are/were elite.

How does Peat, Williams, Rankins, Elelrbe, Kikaha help in any way against the giants, chiefs, broncos, lions, and bucs? They may have helped against Oakland and one of the Atlanta games but most of the games with bad defense we actually won. No one looks at that.

Are you serious? Nearly half the starting defense on a team with limited depth!
We had guys out there that were lying on the couch watching the season openers like we were. The defense was much improved in the games Elerbe alone was able to play in!
