Yea he went off on Dugans about this pathetic offense we had to suffer watching this year. He did quit on his high school team too. Try growing up/spending time in East St Louis and come back to us with your thoughts.

Did the rest of his team grow up outside of East St Louis?

Yes they did grow up outside of ESTL. None of them had the balls to call out the coaching staff. Brown wanted to call out the players and call some of them “cancers” so why can’t Thomas go off on the coaches for putting an awful offense on the field.

I was talking about the high school team he quit. There are few people that actually know what led to JT4 arguing with Dugans. However, Dugans is his position coach, not the OC...so how does calling out the offense lead to fighting his position coach?
 
You all sure are reaching for excuses for him. Kid tried to quit every year he was here. Including when he was featured in the offense and the team was #2 in the nation. Quit on his high school team. Already quit on his new team. He seems to be the only one quitting on all those teams.

"None of them had the balls to call out the coaching staff"?!? Wow, the excuse making for JT4 around here has hit epic proportions. If he has a heart to heart with Manny and convinces him he'll be a good teammates and MANNY chooses to let him back on the team, fine. But it's unreal how so many here put zero responsibility on Jeff himself for the bullsh-t he pulled this season.

JT left because he was tired of the BS offense and Dugans' favorites. Even Manny left because of the dismal O.

It’s so clear that Dugans played favorites. Trotting cager And langham out there every game. That’s just pathetic from an offensive staff. How do you have a kid like pope who every big program wanted and he barely gets to play especially when the other receivers are dropping balls left and right.

Because Pope looked 120pds soaking wet, couldn't get separation at all against D1 defenders, and couldn't block worth a sh-t and got penalties when he did try and block? Look, Pope may grow into a beast WR,but he wasn't ready by any means last season and it looked that way every time he was out there, even in the sh-t scheme. Just because a kid had 5 stars, doesn't mean he's ready to just step on a field and dominate at the college level.
