Thread: Julius Thomas has ankle surgery...

Oh well.

We got 2 players from the 2011 draft and the rest have sucked. Maybe Q Carter will amount to something, but R Moore and Nate Irving have been bombs..

Julius Thomas is tearing this team apart.

there's no arguing Moore fell off, but Irving was hurt, and history says writing off an entire draft class after a year is asinine.

I also thought that Carter played great as a rookie. Had 2 picks in the playoffs.
Jeez, some folks need to slow down and not write the whole thing off.
And i warned everyone here about the punk-ass, primadonna, my-shit-dont-stink, moore.

The curse of Xanders strikes again. I wish Julius the best in his new life.

Orange Julius will be back

zombie julius will destroy us all

Yeah, we are still waiting for Ayers to blossom and show the promise of his pick.

Pretty sure he did blossom last year. He's never going to be a 10 sack guy. He does tremendous work in the run game and had the multi sack game at the end of the year.

My question is why wait until now to have the surgery? Everytime I see players that where injured during the season and now are just recently having a procedure done it makes me scratch my head. I remember the Sidney Rice incident and how he choose to have surgery so close to the season starting and it set him back in his career.

Because the advice from their doctor is "we won't know if you need surgery yet until we can see ______." They don't know, and the player doesn't want to have unnecessary surgery, and the surgeon won't do unnecessary surgery. So the player has to wait, and see, and then make a decision based on the progress (or non-progress) according to the surgeon.

Denver had better hope he hasn't blossomed. Base 4-3 LDE's who can chip in a few sacks a year are a dime-o-dozen, if this is what we can expect from Ayers he "blossomed" as a Sr in college.

Btw, Quinton Carter took horrible angles repeatedly as a rookie. He may tackle better than Moore but a fat, steamy load of good that does if he constantly has to make a u-turn to chase the ball towards the endzone.......

he looked dominant vs Pittsburgh, and let's not forget the ridiculous transition to 3-4 backer after playing tackle and end in college. I was happy with his progress last year.

I think Ayers stepped up this last season and was much better at DE. He is great against the run game IMO.

With Moore, I am hoping that he improves a lot, I hope the benching at end of season woke him up that he needs to work on his shit. Carter got better at end of the season IMO, but he made a lot of rookie mistakes with bad angles. I am hoping with both of them it is a matter of game speed, and getting use to that.
