DT now a Panther

[Ruhskins]

I was disgusted yesterday listening to the Sports Reporter and how they were just straight out bitching about DT being cut and saying how DT gets cut but AH gets "coddled".

I wish DT luck, Carolina is just not a good team and they need to go into major rebuilding mode.

Had DT made a name for himself as a major player in this league with any kind of trade value, I think we would have coddled him as well. Unfortunately most unproven wideouts are like lottery scratch-offs.

Agreed. I mean the comparison was just stupid, even one of the other guys in that show was saying how it was ridiculous to say that AH was "coddled" let alone bringing Haynesworth into the conversation. I swear, they just bring him up for no f'ing reason. Ugh, I hate that show!! (yeah yeah, I don't know why I even turned it on).

Devin Thomas is either going to sink or swim in Carolina, nothing in between. They have no choice but to throw him out there and use his talent in making plays. This is a desperate signing for a desperate team. They have no names in their receiver corps aside from Steve Smith, who is questionable for Week 7 as it is. And to top it off, they have 2 inept quarterbacks, and if Tony Pike gets any snaps during the bye week, he could be starting come Week 7.

Devin Thomas was given plenty of chances here in Washington to establish himself. He rubbed Shanny the wrong way and never got out of the doghouse. He could very well be another stud receiver that the Redskins blew their chance on. However, considering no one (The Pats traded back for Deion Branch for pete's sake) wanted to take a chance on him, I don't see it happening that way.

Actually,from what I understand,the Patriots had put in a claim for D.Thomas,but Carolina had dibs on claiming him 1st.

In other words...If he wasn't playing for Carolina,he would be a Patriot now...
Then the Patriots went a head and traded for Branch for the 4th round pick.

Well, at least Thomas will be closer to his honeybun Fantasia.

DT is going to a good situation for him. A rebuilding project. If he would've went to NE they would've cut him within 3 weeks.

[aceinthehouse]

People really need to stop questioning the coaching decisions of letting players go..
It truly is a crap shoot on what they will do...

Point in fact...
Cartwright had a key block punt for a Safety for the raiders win against the chargers...

Betts had a key fumble returned for a TD,that cost the saints the game against Arizona...
See?

Devin Thomas may be great or maybe not....

What we do know is Armstrong is a Player now,making key TD saving gam winners...
And Banks is faster than the Flash and will break a return for a TD that will save our ass at least once this season. You wait!

Thomas will continue his career with Fantasia as he learns the System under John Fox,only to see John Fox fired at the end of the season and having to learn a new system that he may or may not have the time to dedicate himself with...

i like our direction and what Shanny is doing here...

[NYCskinfan82]

I think DT has learned he will be like AA, he knows what it feels like to be cut & will work his as$ of so it dosen't happen again IMO.

[12thMan]

I guess the small irony in all of this is that Fantasia is from North Carolina.

Casserly faded much heat for NOT drafting R Bush, and instead going with Mario Williams. Mario had meaniful contribution much earlier but obviously both picks have worked out well

[Beemnseven]

Again, the decision to draft Mario Williams was Bob McNair's, not Charlie Casserly's. Here's McNair in an interview explaining why they passed up on Reggie Bush:

Watch Video Bob McNair says why he didnt take Reggie Bush at blinkx

Devin thomas was a baller on madden 11 lol but i know thats a video game ! I just thought he would have shined under shanny! But no worries i have the full trust of this coaching staff. It seems this is the first year since schotenheimer that i could fully trust the coaching staff and front office in their desicions. cutting him may not have been a bad idea. I hope he flourishes in Carolina.

[Hog1]

WHeew.......I tried, Charlie.........

[tc2deuce]

colts put a claim on DT so where does he go? isn't it like mlb?
