    Dude... you're on some other planet. I keep saying he's too slow to CONVERT to CB...

    you say he's fast for a safety. Uhhhh... Yeah. Great. A SAFETY.

    No one is saying he can't play SAFETY. I'm saying he can't play CB.

    Are you getting that? You even replied "has nothing to do with Thomas"... why doesn't it? He's a safety trying to convert, and if you're saying he's on some other level than all other safeties that have come out in the past 5 years you're just fooling yourself.

    Every rebuttal you have for him being slow- you compare him to safeties... Yeah. That's the point. He's a safety.



    All this doesn't matter. Dig this thread up when he's a safety in a year once he earns a starting job. He'll NEVER be a CB in the nfl.

    Dude you do this all the time. You are factoid challenged!

    You make blanket statements which are proven wrong by fact and then you have to back pedal after you have been proven wrong.

    Thomas' times are every bit fast enough to play Cb in the NFL. Gut compared him to the top rated CB in the whole friggin draft.

    Stop being so lazy and do sme homework next time you post.

    The top rated CB in the draft is ACTUALLY A CB. You get that?

    4.5 speed is safety speed...

    and BIG SURPRISE!... that's the position he plays.

    Again, if you guys think a 4.5 kid with AVERAGE speed can keep up with WRs in the NFL while not even trusted to do it in college... you're delusional.


    Again.

    Just watch.

    Guarantee you he's never even tried at corner in the NFL.

    I think Thomas would be a great pick for us. He could play a similar role as Antrel Rolle, a safety with great range and the abilty to come up and cover the slot as a nickel back. IMO he would be better suited for this role over Griff. His game speed is faster then his clock speed, if you watch the highlight/lowlight hes plays hes deep half very well. I am in love with both Earl Thomas and Kyle Wilson, but we drafted 2 corners last year i think it would be hard to pass up on the second most instinctive DB in the draft next to berry

    Fabian Washington I believe ran under a 4.3 at the combine a few years ago and he got burnt all the time when he play for a top ranked ravens D. My point is there is more to a player then his 40 time. Corners have to have quick feet, fluid hips, outstanding body control, and range mixed with speed Thomas has All of those qualities n thats why he could come down to play nickel corner. Again I love Wilson as well if we took him Id be fine with that too

    You're right. There is tons more to a player than their 40 time. Like their back-pedal, hips, footwork, and instincts... all of which usually decide if a player is better as a safety or corner in college.

    Again- it's extremely rare for a college safety to convert to corner in the NFL. It's beyond all logic.

    Im not tryin to be a dick but I fell that you hate on this guy cus he runs slower then Wilson in the 40

    Ok so your telling me that this guy cant play nickel corner for us if we drafted him???? So you think Collie for the colts is gonna just burn this guy out the gates when they line up against eachother????? Do you think he could come up in the box and cover Owen Daniels for houston when they split him out??? Both Houston n Indy air it out on sundays we need that instinctive guy that is versitile enough to play deep half, the TE, the nickel. and the cover two corner. Thats the new trend on D, corners that can play safety and safetys that are athletic enough to come up n play corner

    Why not? Safety is a HUGE part of a defence in the NFL. Hope is old and slow. If Thomas plays multiple positions on the defence similar to Brandon Meriweather, Antrelle Rolle, Ed Reed, and Troy Polamalu he will always be on the field making plays.
