For the record I agreed with the idea of picking two wideouts -- but was really disappointed that Devin Thomas couldn't get his ass in gear and prove that he belonged on the field when other rookies have done it in the past. Whether that was Hixon's fault, I don't know.
I'm cautiously optimistic about what I saw from Thomas and Kelly in preseason, and it looks like they might be just what the doctor ordered. We'll see if that continues when the games are for real.
But I don't think it's hypocritical for one to criticize the complete lack of performance from Thomas or Davis and then praise them when they do start to perform. That's just the way things are in Sports-Fan World.
