Julius Thomas rumors...

[IndyHawk]

I thought he was the QB genius but he's also the WR genius,TE genius he's not.Who is the TE genius?

 

[Seanhawk]

Whoever claims it. It's yours if you want it. I don't feel comfortable doing it because even though I said on record somewhere that Mark Bavaro, Tony Gonzalez, Jimmy Graham, Brent Jones, Jason Witten, Kellen Winslow, Antonio Gates, and Shannon Sharpe would all be top flight NFL TEs, I did think to myself one time that Kellen Winslow Jr. would be better than his dad.

If I'm being honest with myself, I haven't been 100% accurate in predicting NFL TE success, so that disqualifies me as a genius.

I rather the Hawks spend their available cap space and draft capital on the O-line.

I agree we need some upgrades along the O-line, but depth upgrades. We need a new LG, but other than that, are you thinking of replacing a starter?

I have seen people throwing around the idea that we need to upgrade the O-line, but which of our current starters are you actually willing to demote to backup?

This can help. Read my post on Oline for the hawks scheme

“Julius is here to get his money and get out,” one teammate told me last week. “That’s just how some guys are. He didn’t grow up playing this game and it’s just not in his DNA to put it all out there.” When asked if Julius Thomas was soft like some say, he said, ” where there’s smoke, there’s fire.” According to the teammate, Julius Thomas was healthy enough to play multiple times last season but refused to. In one instance Julius Thomas was heard saying, “I’m about 90% – I’m getting close.”

Yikes, keep him far away from our team then. None of that on the Seahawks.

this wont happen.

Someone will throw big money at him, I just don't see Seattle being a player in the top end free agents. They will be a player in the second and third waves of free agency though.

The TE in this offense needs to be able to block. Blocking is not his strong point. Will Luke Willson get better in his 3rd year? He blocks well & toward the end o the year started to play much better. A bit disappointed he disappeared in the SB after the Patriots had been terrible vs the TE most of the year. Bring back Carlester Crumpler (my favorite football name).

The Raiders seems the most likely destination for Thomas but if he signed with the Hawks he'd be RWs #1 target immediately. He'd give the Hawks their first #1 receiver since a healthy Sydney Rice.

 

[hawksurething]

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but screw it... j.Thomas has no heart for football. He likes a basketball.

I proved this when he got hurt ,and was asked I'd he was almost ready to play again...he said ..." Almost, I'm at 90%". Huh ?

Plus he can't block well,is not a deep route TE like gronk & Graham, & disappears vs good defenses. In the red zone too where he makes his living.

This is all bad,plus he won't have that all pro WR corp taking attention off of him= bust for the hawks at that price.

Hawks can get Gresham to produce 600 yards & 6-8 TDs at an lower price.right ? Or did I miss anything ?

Same story rehashed.

If I'm willing to pay $7-8 mil fit an aging Andre Johnson i would just as happily sign Julius Thomas a young and more physically mismatch of a player for $7-8mil even ok with 9 mil for JT s he would be a Red Zone machine and really pen up the middle for Lynch.

Thomas doesn't have the DNA to be a Pete Carroll-era Seahawk.

Will.not.happen.

Let's get a list of people that will look like fools if Thomas comes to visit Seattle next week.
