Monkart Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 I feel it's going to be Malcolm, I'll admit, I have very limited knowledge of either of them. It seems he's more comfortable then Thomas, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinsAllDay34 Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 They are our 3rd and 4th string WRs so....i will pick both. Thomas is like Boldin after the catch with the RAC ability.....Kelly on the other hand is 6' 4 and can jump HIGH so he will probably be used alot in the redzone with more TDs. Thomas will get us first downs..going down the field and Kelly will finish the drive off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jp redskin Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 Didn't Thomas play in more of a pro style offense? I believe Thomas will due to getting more playing time due to him being more explosive and more physical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinSabbath Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 Thomas will probably have more catches and yards Kelly will probably have more touchdowns Right on. I believe this will be the story of their careers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morpheusmeyers Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 Too close to call. I think they're both going to make an impact. As others have stated, Thomas will get more yards/catches, but Kelly will have more TD's. Now...how will F. Davis do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morneblade Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 I think Kelly is going to have more of an impact. Nothing to do with schedual or how they played, I just think that he is further along in route running and has better hands. He might not be as explosive, but I think he is going to be more polished and reliable and will be able to get into the lineup quicker than Thomas. I look to him to be the 3rd WR on opeing day.

Snagletooth Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 Unless Kelly develops a better grasp of the offense, clearly, than Thomas does. Thomas will get more plays in more packages. My guess is Thomas is seen as the guy penciled in for the 3rd spot. With Kelly contributing as a roll player. Curious if they see Kelly, with the potentially fragile knees, as a special teams guy?

clskinsfan Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 Kelly will. He has had a longer career. Thomas really is still learning the position. He doesnt run great routes yet. Give him a couple of years. He will be a stud. Kelly will have a good year this year. He had the best hands in the draft and catches anything in his area. Will be fun to watch them both progress.

BG Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 There is something about the way Kelly carries himself. He seems sharp, confident and has a chip. He has produced in a tough conference in big games, but the same could be said for Thomas. I think we'll see Kelly show some real acrobatics and emerge as that big target that we've been waiting for. Thomas is the speedster/explosive guy. While I wasn't jumping for joy over the selections as a whole (wanted to see a solid DE taken) it is quite comforting to know that there is serious talent at the WR position. I think Thomas will have @ 30 catches 500 yards. Clutch and a good return man. Kelly 40-45 catches 8 TD's 700 yards. An injury to either Moss or Randle El doesn't hurt us like it did last year.

Cherick Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 Too close to call. I think they're both going to make an impact.As others have stated, Thomas will get more yards/catches, but Kelly will have more TD's. Now...how will F. Davis do? Davis will do better than them two, since he will be so relaxed and rested after sleeping thru all the meetings and practices. I agree with most of you about Thomas getting more catches and Kelly more TDs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delta1-5 Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 I like Thomas. Just not sure if Kelly will be able to get separation at this level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinsFanAnt Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 I'm going to go with Thomas. I think we're going to utilize him like a big Wes Welker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustAfan47 Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 i wonder what type of rating they give are rookies in madden 09??...Mix is money in 08 just can't wait till there on the roster for 09.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-bomb Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 I pick Thomas because he's a better RAC threat then Kelley is. I don't remember too many plays where Kelly was breaking alot of tackles to get in the zone, just verticals and posts patterns for TD's! I could be wrong but just my observation.:2cents: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morneblade Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 I like Thomas.Just not sure if Kelly will be able to get separation at this level. He had a bad quad at the combine, so I think he's faster than his time there. That, and he's very explosive off the line. At least that is what the coaches keep raving about.

helptheSKINS Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 Based on the average receiver picked in the 1st and 2nd rounds, one will be a total bust and the other will have minor contributions in year 1. We should rename this "The Ultimate Speculation" thread. I hope they both do great but everything at this point is a guess. I do think they both have the talent to avoid being part of my first sentence. Let's hope it works out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COWBOY-KILLA- Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 Something tells me Kelly will be the 2nd coming of Micheal Irvin minus the off field transgresions. Hopefully they are both really good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoondockSkin Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 I think Thomas will make it onto the field simply because he is hungry right now, while Kelly doesn't seem to be putting in the heart that Thomas is. So, I think Thomas will be on the field sooner providing more of an impact. How can we, as fans who (as far as I understand) have not been at a practice session or meeting, determine who is "putting in heart" to the greatest extent? Statements like this bother me; we don't know how hard either of them is working right now. We see camp footage and introduction video, period. There is no way to accurately say "X is working harder and wants it more than Y." I hope they are both successful, but I have no idea how Zorn will utilize either and as such can't make a distinction this early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinsAllDay34 Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 Also Thomas has alot of doubters since he was a "one year wonder" or thought to be at least....he even gave a reason that he was stuck behind seniors and when given PT he exploded. He is coming into his own and like some said in this thread will be a bigger Wes Welker for us. And Kelly can be the next Randy Moss...:applause: :applause: :applause: :applause: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angel2 Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 I will go with Thomas simply because he will move the chains more so than Kelly. If Thomas considers his game on par with Hines Ward, keeping in mind how Ward plays, then I will say Thomas will be more productive than Kelly. Kelly has the ability to show up catching the ball across the middle and the end zone. Thomas will have more catches and more yards. Devin will use his physical skills to muscle the ball for more yardage after the catch. But, I think a better competition will be between Kelly and Mix.

MoeRedskins Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 both won't make a big impact, but I think Kelley will make a bigger impact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IbleedBnG83 Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 I think they will play Thomas more based on what I've read and heard. More play time = more production. Unless of course Kelly unseats Thomas. My guess goes to Thomas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
