I think you're letting the negative plays by Thomas color your entire perception of him. You say he has no fight, yet he was one of the only offensive players that showed up in the Seattle Super Bowl. He routinely breaks tackles in the open field. How many times has he busted open that screen pass because he's so tough to bring down? And of course there is the play against Pittsburgh where he literally stiff armed a guy and then ran away from all the defenders to score the game winning touchdown.I am not down on Thomas because of what is perceived as a down year, or the fact that he dropped some passes ..
I am down on him because he looks so easily flustered and beaten, and he had no fight in him - either going for the ball or showing any fire on the field ..
We've got Bennie Fowler who is not as skilled a WR Thomas is, but he has got balls 10x bigger than Thomas - Fowler fights for the ball, fights to get on the field, fights on special teams and will put his head down and literally drag defenders ..
I like guys who fight ... Thomas doesn't, and I hate the idea of losing Sanders' because of Thomas inflated contract ...
This idea that Thomas doesn't fight is just absurd. You don't get to the NFL unless you have some fight in you.
