In all fairness to Thomas he's behind schedule because of injury. It's too early to bail on him for a journeyman guy like McMullen.

I understand that but right now he can't help us beat NY so put him on PUP. He is of no use right now.

So you want to put Thomas on PUP even though he's not injured and I doubt the league would let that fly to start with, lose him until week 6, and then try to continue to develop his progress as a rookie at that time? He's already behind, and you want to put him further behind?

Sorry but that just makes no sense.

Here is what I'm saying. Neither Kelly or Thomas have done shit this whole pre season. I'm not saying cut them cause I know that isn't going to happen. But right now they are totally useless in helping us beat NY. Kelly hasn't even gotten on the field in a game yet. Thomas just looks lost out there, he simply isn't ready to play a regular season game. I assume that you agree with me that Billy M. had a better pre season than both of them. So why cut the guy, even though he is a jouneymen, when he out performed both of the top picks?? Somehow I find a way to keep him on the team. He knows the offense and he performed well in pre season games. Total BS move IMO.

I would have liked to see us keep 6 WRs. But I can't agree with bailing on Thomas or Kelly by stashing them on IR or PUP. They're not going to get better by sitting. It's going to be a trial by fire for both of them. That's the bed we made by drafting two rookie WRs.
