I bought my jersey ten minutes after the colts drafted him. I haven't had a problem with the numbers or anything about it quite frankly. I've worn it probably every week since then as well.
-
We have a good center I'll give you that, but what about the other four positions on the o line. We may have a keeper in our left tackle, but what about guards, and right tackle.
-
Thank god, I had no faith in Thomas.

A lot of people still think Chris Carter is up there as well, I believe marvin was the best receiver of the 2000's though, but I think that Rice is the best receiver of all time no matter what. He might have played with Montana and Young, but he didn't play in the nfl of today either.

In an Nfl.com interview he says that he wants to be like Peyton, Brees, Rivers, and Big Ben.

Well it is just one day, but hopefully he can continue to progress and play well, as well as the defence, but this day in age you need a great quarter back and it looks like we might have gotten another one!
-
I have been extremely harsh on him, right, wrong, or indiffrent, I hope he has a good year and proves me wrong

This shows a breakdown of all the team's salary cap. Enjoy.

Ever hear of James Harrison? Practice squad dumped player time and time again, turned DPOY?
Ever hear of Antonia Garay? Career backup turned starter.
There are plenty of names out there where players have had lackluster starts to their careers but winded up contributing after a few years in the league. Not every player is a day one starter. Some players have the athleticism but lack the technique. Some have the technique, but lack the athleticism. There's a world of possible problems that a player may have, but some eventually overcome their problems and become starters.
Kurt Warner, Adam Vinatieri, Flutie, Cameron Wake. Plenty of people don't even get into the NFL for a few years. These things happen. To suspect that a guy who has been in the league two years has 0 shot of becoming even a solid starter is not looking at the history of the NFL and seeing the players that have risen above the odds and become great players.
All in all, I am not suggesting that Thomas will become great. He might be good, he might ok, and he might suck for an eternity. I dunno. The possibility still exists, however, that he can put his solid athleticism to good use and become a decent starter for us.
your naming off a bunch of hall of famers. there is a very select few who actually come out of nothing and turn out to be great, just because someone like Adam Vinatieri can do it, doesn't mean kevin thomas can. I can go down the list of failed second or third round picks, and it will far outweigh the handful of players who turned out to be great.
-
Yeah, you're right, teams have absolutely no expectation past the first round.
Honestly, I am not saying the guy will be good, I am saying there is still a chance. Our coaching, defensive especially, has flat out sucked for several years. Writing off anyone because of poor performance without taking that into account is short-sighted at best.
I can agree there is a chance he'll someday be a solid backup. But I don't ever see the guy becoming a good starter, which I catch that vibe from people on here.
-
Matt Stafford, prior to last season, had shown nothing that he would be good. 19TDs, 20INTS. 54.5% completion percentage.
I'll give you a hint, he didn't suck last year.
I am not saying that Kevin Thomas will do the same, but simply saying, a player's first 1 or 2 years is not an absolute measure of how they'll stack up as an NFL player.
matt stafford was the first pick in the draft, that gave people reason to think he'd be good. kevin thomas was a second or third round draft pick... You guys are way to defensive of the guy. I would like to see him do good, but I just don't see it happening.
-
I don't think that one poster means that eveyone's eyes are starting to open.
I'm as big as a colts fan as the next guy. But there comes a point where you guys have to realize that just because we took him in the third round doesn't mean he'll be good. He's done NOTHING to show that he'll be good, he has shown that he'll be average, AT BEST.
-
IF we don't go two tight end set. Then id say Fleener. IF the colts thought that allen was better than fleener, then they would have taken allen with the second round pick instead of fleener.
-
A while ago I claimed that Kevin Thomas wasn't that great, and just didn't seem to have great potential either, I got blasted for that pretty badly. Now everyone's eyes are starting to open.
-
you cant be serious.
it was a joke.
but, it could turn out to be just as bad, you never know. I mean, I hope and pray that luck will turn out to be great, but in some people's eyes, the colts made a mistake cutting peyton, and relying on a guy that's never taken a snap in the pro's.
-
will this cause a cap penalty for next year?
-
redskins couldnt spot talent if their lives depended on it. seriously 42.5 million to a guy whos never hit 1000 yards or double digit tds. what *
the colts are going to give around 22 million to a guy who has zero touchdowns and zero yards in the pros

If Luck Struggles Early..?
in Colts Football

If Luck struggles early in the season, kind of like Blaine Gabbert did last year, when do you think it'd be time to panic, if at all this year?
