Thread: For those declaring Thomas' career over...

He was back on the field today. Seems like some were being a little overly dramatic in this thread: http://www.broncosforums.com/forums/...d.php?t=146386

Post from Andrew Mason:

"Demaryius Thomas said he was pain-free for his work Fri., & that today was about "getting used to new routes that I've never run before.""

He probably wont peak for at least 3 years either way. Too much injury and route learning to overcome.

He won't make it to preseason......he's already on the field.

Won't matter it won't pan out for 3 years....

Just don't jump on the guys bandwagon this season if he works out....hold off for 3 years.

Good to see him pain free and finally running routes. Can't wait to see what this kid can do in preseason.

Wow- I never even saw that thread about his foot. But man after looking it over.....


We sure have a bunch of negative nancies on this site! My goodness. I thought we were all done with the media brainwashing us stuff? Apparantly not.


DT will be fine. The OL will be better than fine. The defense will be even better than the better than fine OL. The run game will be mucho better and the broncos will win no less than 10 games this year. After finishing the season out on a 6-0 run..(possibly with tebers at QB)
This is not a crystal ball scenario and anyone can hold me to it. I will!

your are singing to the choir ..

Is he running routes at full speed?

Ryan Harris was also back today, as was Arrington.

The “opportunity day” without most veterans was an opportunity for J.J. Arrington, Demaryius Thomas and Ryan Harris to practice for the first time this offseason.

For Thomas, the work was his first of any kind as a pro, and in an early practice drill, he looked smooth and unaffected by the foot problems that have been an issue for him in recent months.

Harris assumed his usual spot back at right tackle with the first unit; it is, however, hard to make much of the units in today’s session because of the absence of veterans.

More to come after the practice.

Not sure if you are being sarcastic or not...


If serious. I would highly doubt it.
jMFmd said he wants to easse them in. Just tap them in slowly. Just tap them in, just tap them in. Give em a little tappy. A tap tap, taparoo.

Being serious. Not trying to be pessimistic , but I just dont want to be excited until he is running full speed 7 on 7's etc...

Let's just cut/trade him now because that's all McD does anyway!

I think the reason to be optimistic here is it was reported that he wouldn't be able to participate in any OTA's and he was questionable for preseason. Take from it what you want, but it's definitely a step in the right direction.

I hate Napoleon Dynomite. I have never seen it, but I hate him. My 15 year old godson has it down...."You're ruining my life, gggggg'osssssssh!"

It generally takes about three years for a receiver to develop if he going to at all. Sure he could develop faster than that but chances are it will take him about 3 years before he'll make a big impact on the team. He admitted himself that there are routes he has learn because he's never ran them before. If he can develop faster than that I'm all for it, if he doesn't I'm sure hell not going to call him a bust after one season.

But dont jump on his bandwagon if he proves to be Randy Moss in his first year.

Or so im told anyway.
