Redskins:Victory_or_Death Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Well since you're throwing crap up against a wall to see if it sticks you might as well say stuff like Chad Rinehart could be the next Russ Grimm and Justin Tryon could be the next Darrell Green.Sweet! I like the way you think. So it has been written, so shall it be done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NawtyMagazine Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 is it because they both wear #11 ????? actually i think devin is going to be a primetime receiver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flexxskins Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Fitzgerald is about an inch or less taller than Thomas, they weigh exactly the same. They have a similar muscle and body build. Sure it will take a lot for Thomas to raise his game to that level, but it isn't hard to imagine that Devin Thomas could become the type of elite reciever that Larry Fitzgerald is.Thomas could become just as good as Fitzgerald because he is similar in body type and height as Fitzgerald?:doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hailskins94 Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Or he could become the next Taylor Jacobs.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shore-skin Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Or maybe, he could become the first Devin Thomas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troy Fakeman Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Look... Just make plays. That goes for Zorn, CP, Campbell, Devin Thomas, whoever... MAKE PLAYS... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PorkSkins Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 He has a better chance of becoming the next Ella Fitzgerald. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slateman Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Actually, I see Thomas ending up more like Boldin than Fitz. I think Malcolm Kelly could be more like Fitz. Big, strong, great route runner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter_R Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Actually, I see Thomas ending up more like Boldin than Fitz. I think Malcolm Kelly could be more like Fitz. Big, strong, great route runner. I'd bet on Fitzgerald or Boldin having better career numbers than Kelly and Thomas combined before that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paintrain Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Thomas has the potential to become another T.O. in every sense of the comparison. He's a beast physically with the potential to become a game breaking WR with the rare size, speed, hands combination that few possess. Unfortunately, he seems to have the maturity and work ethic of a junior high school detention student. What we REALLY need above all is a true pro (like Cris Carter was to Moss) to come in and mentor the WR on what's needed to become a true student and star of the game.

barry wilburn Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 But you have to consider that Fitzgerald has a former Super Bowl MVP throwing to him instead of Campbell. Exactly, which is why Thomas is definitely going to be as good as, if not better than Fitzgerald. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MumboSauce Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Conjecture comes to mind..lol because player "A" is within an inch or so in height as player 'B" and are the same weight..PRESTO he will probably be as good or have the same level or achievement/career/talent. lol I'm sure there have been a lot of 6'2" 200lb WR's with soft hands that didn't turn out to be Jerry Rice. and the thread really should have ended with him having a better chance as being the next Ella Fitzgeral ROLLIN!! LOL I'm done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NavyDave Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Thomas would have to be visited by three fellas with Jersey accents hung by his heels out a window to motivate him to get his act together but I dont think the Sopranos are available to help us.

Muzzah Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Fitzgerald is an absolute beast. If he could become half of what Larry is then I would be happy. There's no pass this guy can't catch so long as it isn't 15 yards out of bounds. Even then he might somehow defy physics and catch it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinzplay2 Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Don't expect either Thomas or Kelly to develop into anything of significance unless and until they are under the tutelage of someone other than Stan Hixon. He's a great guy, but is not an NFL-caliber receivers coach. The team really needs to make a change there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheREALJBird Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Wouldn't that be nice? I'm still a fan of Thomas, I'm a fan of all of our picks still (minus Durant Brooks lol). I hope he pans out, as well as Kelly and Davis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinsAllDay34 Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Ok i dont know why DEVIN THOMAS is being said to have the potential to be the next Larry Fitz. Devin Thomas IMO is a faster Anquan Boldin. Malcolm Kelly (IF FULLY HEALTHY AND HIS KNEES STAY IN CHECK) has Larry Fitz potental. SHOOT he is built just like him and has GREAT HANDS and LEAPING ABILITY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redskins0756 Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 mwhahahaha.I don't know though but aint Fitzgerald like 6'5". He might be as fast as Fitz but he can't get up like Larry Fitz. Edit: Man Larry Fitz is only 6'3" Oh well in that case maybe he can be Larry Fitz. I saw Larry Fitzgerald for the first time in Blacksburg in 2002. Tech was playing Pittsburgh at the time we were number 3 in the nation and Pitt was unranked. Fitzgerald had 5 catches for 105 yards and 3 TD's. Mind you this is in Blacksburg with a pretty damn good VT defense playing against him. I am still saying to this day that no other receiver has impressed me as much as Larry Fitzgerald did seeing him then and now in the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
