00Dirty30 Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 Shanny's ego and long noted lack of talent evaluation got Thomas Cut, although Armstrong was a good pick up and i'm not too sold on Torrain yet...As for Shanny's decisions i don't trust him when players like antonio Bryant are out there and e have Roydell Williams on our roster......Im sure Bryant is a better 4th option then WIlliams.

First off, Shanny has been a good offfensive judge of talent (just not defensively) and it was Thomas's ego that got him cut, as well as his lack of being a pro. Then you throw Bryant out there, a guy that is had run ins with hard nosed coaches (Parcells, Nolan) drug suspensions and injuries. Im not sure how long he would last under Shanahan. And I doubt he plays ST, something he would need to do here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He played ST in Tampa before he made it big, Shanny has missed on Plenty Offensive Talent he's also struck gold with hillis portis Marshall etc etc...but the man has a long time reputation for having an EGO set an example, its not cool to be a hypocrit. Antonio Bryant Vet min+incentives>Roydell who has done a whole lot of nothing, and Shanny didn't seem to have a problem cutting one of his key special teams contributors so i don't see why Bryant wouldn't be brought in to be evaluated at least our WR core sucks after WR2 plain and simple.

Bantu Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 LaVar and Dukes points are pretty weak on this topic. Way too much made about physical gifts and not enough discussion about actual football skills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Santana_Fan Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 Devin should think that his suckiness the last 3 years is what got him cut...because it did. . I'm still pissed that we skipped on other players, DeSean Jackson comes to mind, although his attitude wouldn't have passed around here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why argue over bums who wouldn't be able to contribute? He had a pretty serious injury, so it shouldn't surprise anyone that there wasn't a demand for Bryant.

TD Riggo Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 Was I the only one who thought of Devin Thomas appearing in the Disney movie from this thread title? I just had a mental image of him dancing with a flower and then getting attacked by self replicating brooms...poor guy... No. You weren't the only one. For the life of me, I have no idea what "Fantasia" is! Is it a rap band? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fro Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 If Norvus Turner had half the nads of Shanahan Micheal Westbrook would have had the same fate of Thomas. But Norvus ain't Shanahan and thus these aren't the same Skins.....thank God!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrJL Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 If he keeps thinking like this, he's going to just another 2nd round WR who busts out of the league in the next year. He needs to look at the real problem. Devin Thomas not working hard enough. You sit in on practices? If the answers no, then you don't know.

Bubble Screen Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 How ironic that he thinks her video got him cut. Now he's headed to Charlotte (Fantasia's hometown) to play for the Panthers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art McDonough Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 When a player has other interests in the off season and puts up big numbers during the season, that's one thing. Devon Thomas...'nuff said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morneblade Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 You sit in on practices? If the answers no, then you don't know. Nope, I just heard from people that did, going all the way back to the summer. Players and coaches. And your sources would be? Fact of the matter is that has been discussed in several threads and there has been alot of evidence to the fact that Thomas never really buckled down.

"I'm coming in here doing the best I can to learn the offense and help out as much as possible. "Everyone still has a positive attitude around here. All it takes is a couple of big plays, and then all it takes is a win. Then once the wins start coming, everybody will be happy." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soup Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 Wow I just saw DT is inactive. I understand he doesn't know the playbook but I thought they would package a few plays just use his "talent". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
