I have to disagree with you on the jeff Thomas analysis, no matter how hard harley works, jeff Thomas in this offense or any offense always outshined him and others and had the best hands out of all the receivers including Ahmon, when the ball was in his area, he normally came down with it. His natural football talent was elite, his frustration level like several juniors on the team in the last 10yrs is what had them thinking go-pro, to their own demise. jt4 was a natural playmaker instantly, the problem he had was not playing with a qb like brad kaaya or King. This team is finally getting back to having in-house leadership, this is what hurt jt4 the most.
While I'm happy for harley, he was part of the crybaby brigade at one point himself, maturity has kicked in, plus add in the likens/lashlee affect, a d now he's thriving. Ask yourself this question, if you were told by coach diaz that he's going to go and get a "real OC" and he goes out and brings in a moron like enos already, names jw15 a known quitters and losers as the no "leader of the team" the teams goes 6 & 7, losing to scrub teams, a first year headcoach, and agents telling him he has enuff talent to make it on at least 1 roster, most on this board would've rolled out too, cause who could trust coach diaz after that fact at that time.
Now coach diaz is building his resume, he corrected wrong in getting coach lashlee and King and it is now working out, guys had to make a decision to roll the dice on themselves and not diaz, so one things for certain, coach diaz is definitely putting himself back in the credibility department that he lost with the team last year and with the current team and future recruits, but after last season, with the OC=opposite clever that was on staff last year that manny brought in and the environment being what it was, I can't knock em for whatever decision he mad at that particular time, most would rather be trained in a pro-environment than deal with a new headcoach trying to find his way.
