Missing Jeff Thomas today and all year

He'd have been our best WR this year, but he thought he was just marking time before he could bolt to the league.

How's that working out for him?

And he was explosive on returns. Dropped 1 ball in 3 years. Miami’s returners this year have a dropped a punt in every game. Idiots on here blaming him for Florida last year. Get this **** out of here.

One drop seriously? Still ****ed about last night, so I'm going to play, even if you're trolling (Unless of course, you're simply the village idiots and never played the game to understand what a "ME" guy, who isn't available for a 3rd of the season because of team rule infractions, does to a team). Manny paid for bringing him back last season.

The two biggest passes thrown to him; Florida (see above) and ACC Title game when Rosier's pass hits him in both hands and it would have finally flipped the field after another bad punt, he DROPS it. Then the route was on.

The Hurricane program has run out of time for dealing with Prima Donnas, they can't afford any more of the equation with the potential outweighing commitment in players. In a locker room, players know the difference, coaches know it, why there was all that talk about cancer - I realize they haven't factored that into the NCAA video games yet.

1 muffed punt in 3 years is what I meant. I guess you could say 2 years since Berrios was the guy in 2017. Every single game this year a Miami player has fumbled a punt. Pope, Harley, Hall, X. That's all I'm going to say. Not going to get into him being a cancer and all that.

Jeff could’ve been great but he was right in the head to do so

A bunch of threads a bunch of arguing a bunch of speculation for a young man that managed to get a total of $5000 for all his hard work and effort and drama.
Let that sink in for a minute.
Ever since he was a little kid he’s been working towards a goal. Countless hours of practice, injuries, while trying to put food on the table for his family and to get them out of that sht show that is east St. Louis. But yet his attitude and his work ethic was so bad that all he was able to get out of it was a total of $5000.

What???
 
If I'm being honest with myself, he likely would've caught some of those balls. So would most wide receivers in college. A great many at the high school level would've as well.

So essentially, I miss any college WR in those situations. Bet Ezzard and Hightower would've caught them as well. I sure don't miss Thomas though.

Ok, but you can't separate one from the other with Thomas, we're not talking about "Pope, Harey, Hall, X." And had Thomas not quit on his team or suited up for some important games after Manny brought him back, rather than not being available for running afoul of team rules, I probably wouldn't have brought up those two critical passes. But players arrive in a program with the good, bad and ugly. In the end, how you and your coaches manipulate those variables is what defines your contribution to the team. I played with several guys who came out on the positive side, a few who didn't and were gone early. Whether he was equipped to deal with it, or not (and not everybody is) his choices defined his time here.

The NFL just had a case last week - they did a benefit/cost analysis. If he'd been more beneficial to the team, I'm not naive enough to think he wouldn't have gotten a 2nd chance, but they didn't see it that way.

I know one thing, Jeff Thomas EASILY would have made the catches pope and wiggins failed to make all year. You can hate on him all you want but deep down y’all know it’s facts: he always fought for the ball and shown the ability to make the spectacular catches

I was as hard on Thomas as anyone but he definitely tracked the ball and made airborne catches far better than anyone on the roster.

Just get Brashard Smith and Jacolby George on the field ASAP.
 
Roberto Duran should be our WR coach as seems so many have hands of stone.

Wrong, but we sure beat Florida if Thomas could field a punt or catch a TD that hit him in both hands. Here's my usual Thomas que:

"Big Time Players Show Up in Big Time Games" - Thomas was ALWAWS NO-SHOW.

That game wasn’t on Thomas. Campbell and Nelson had a dozen penalties. Brevin dropped a TD. The refs didn’t throw a flag on the blatant hold on Bandy on the Toney TD. The special teams gave up a fake Punt. Jarren was scared to throw the football and took like 10 sacks. Any of the things above change and UM beats UF.

Add in a Baxa missed field goal too

Exactly. UM could’ve desperately used Bandy and Thomas this season. Anyone that thinks otherwise is WRONG.
