Nah, he still has bad hands. He drops as many as he catches.  He's too unreliable as a pass catcher.

Hes better than blocking than Olsen was...

Sean Jefferson spoke very highly of Thomas in an article the Observer ran the other day.

No he's basically a glorified fullback

I will say when he does catch the ball he's looking for a dude to pop on. LOL. 

I could be completely misremembering but wasn't there a play where he completely chickened out on putting his head down and getting to the sticks on a 3rd down? Like completely laughably so?

Yup. Love Greg but that is a low, low bar.

Hes a above average blocker and if you want to run the ball, thats a +.

Meh, he was about average as a blocker. He wasn't a liability.

I'm not expecting anything from him this year. Hurst was brought in to catch passes, Thomas is the blocker.

I will say it was pretty telling what Tremble said about how they are actually being coached and taught things by their TE coach for the first time since he's been there, so everyone in that room might improve compared to last season.

Yessir.  It was against the Bears a couple of years ago.  Had he delivered the contact rather than receiving it, he almost certainly would have had the first down.  It was the kind of play you expect a TE to make.

I hope he comes around, but I just don't have any reason to believe he will at this point, 

[KillerKat]

Id rather keep Ricci over Thomas tbh.

Ian Thomas biggest weakness is a 5'10 185 pound cornerback

Having taken a pay cut and then being moved to #2 or #3 on the depth chart behind a free agent has to impact you.
