Jeff Thomas is Elite. Is He Being Waisted Like Hester Was Also?

[ToiletWater]

When Jeff Thomas has the ball in his hands he is an elite player in space. His juke moves and the ability to cut on a dime is jaw dropping

Are we getting the most out of him. Granted it seems Perry actually looks for Jeff while Williams seems to think he plays for the other team lol.

He’s elite? That’s a fücking stretch.

Dude juke moves are next level. He be juking players in a phone booth. Defenders have a hard time tackling him in space

Yes he is being waisted. If he played in one of the better offenses his numbers would be serious.

No its not, look at what he did to the LSU DBs. If he had any consistent QB, he would be putting up big numbers.

What saddens me is his ability to juke players in open space with such ease and we simply don’t get him the ball. His open field running is elite

Man if the Dolphins don’t pick him up I will be so upset. He will call right in their laps in the 3rd or 4th round

He is a good sometimes great player, but he’s not elite. Where do you think he gets drafted when he leaves prematurely this year?

Thomas clearly has a different game when Perry is slingin it. (Obvious why now). His body language those first 4 games was like “I know how this ends.... why the **** am I trying) He was a different dude today once #5 came in.

People throw the word elite around too much. Jeudy is elite. Jeff Thomas isn’t consistent, he flashes at times though yes.

His body language is awful at times when the going gets tough

Hester wasn't wasted at Miami, he was just a dumbass that couldn't figure out an offensive playbook. DH was a talented returner, but anything that had structure or required any kind of study, he wasn't going to do well at. Also the reason why the classroom wasn't his cup of tea. Devin could improvise on a return, you can't improvise as a receiver. DH also was a player that pouted whenever he didn't get the ball, so he had to have his particular package. You knew that when he was in, he was getting the ball, so defenses could easily key on him.

It's not an accident that he was a mediocre receiver at the NFL level too. There are guys that are great at riffing, but can't read a lick of music. DH was that guy.

JT4 isn't even close to the talent DH was. JT4 is a good receiver, that on a normal Miami team would be a part of the rotation. He isn't Santana, he isn't Roscoe. He isn't that kind of dynamic, take games over kind of talent. He flashes, but lacks the will to be that guy. Then again, maybe if JT4 would have been forced to learn under truly talented coaches, he would have developed. Then again, he does pout, whine and quit when a coach dares to criticize him, so odds are he would have washed out under a good Miami staff.

Stop. He is not on Hester's level. He does an above average job as a Punt or Kick Returner which is literally as open field as you can get.

 

[TemplarCane]

Hester was not wasted. He was an elite, GOAT, kick and punt returner, and that is it. Below average WR and worse at CB.

 

[Internet Tough Guy]

Are you guys watching a different Jeff Thomas? There’s nothing elite about him with the ball in his hands. Go watch other college football teams. Elite is Hamler on Penn State and Moore on Purdue. Those kids are fu%king electric.

 

[Internet Tough Guy]

Stop. He is not on Hester's level. He does an above average job as a Punt or Kick Returner which is literally as open field as you can get.

He jukes nobody in open space. Do these people watch a different game then me? Mark Pope is more effective on jet sweeps lmao. Jeff burns his guy off the snap and gets open. He trips when you hand the ball off to him.

Except when the turf tackles him.

Jeff Thomas is one of those elite players... he will look crazy here because our team overall does not play good. Could you imagine him returning punts and running routes at Oklahoma. His talent is something crazy and if you say it isn't you don't know ball.

 

[rickcanes]

I agree. He is very talented. Williams doesn't throw a great deep ball and he isn't fully utilized properly in our offense.

 

[bitcoincane]

lo at that dumb *** being elite....his name should never even be muttered in the same sentence as DH. He couldn't pick the curly hairs out of Devin's thong that he used to wear.
