Worst player ever to last more than a decade with the same team?

FIFY.
He wasn't that bad of a player. He was very good against the run and a solid all-around player. Wasn't exactly a star though.

He was getting old. He gave us some good years.

He's most likely going to get re-signed. He's a solid player, just not spectacular.

If you take out his draft status and expectations, he was a fine player.

| Looks like this is a one-week move because he's been hurt and we have lots of hurt players elsewhere on the roster. We probably would've cut TE Dedrick Epps to make room in a normal week, but FB John Conner is also out so Thomas is the one to take a week off the roster. Due to his salary, it's very unlikely anyone poaches him in the mean time. |

He's always been a pretty solid player. He'll get picked up by some Linebacker-needy team. Maybe the Skins with the injury to Orakpo (Just thinking about a possible destination)... Probably more of a rotational / backup guy though at this point in his career.

Donnie Fletcher isn't even active today. Why exactly did they have to cut Thomas so they could sign him?

They weren't sure Lankster would play, but he did...which bumped down Fletcher.

No. In this forum, we discuss news, not rumors. We require a link because we don't want numerous internet rumors being spread like wildfire on the site. If there is a link in support of the story present, we at least know there's a legitimate discussion to be had.
We understand that it can be more difficult to comply when you're posting from a mobile device. However, we'd prefer the news be supported when posting no matter from what type of device you are posting. So, either go through the hassle of posting the link using your mobile device, or wait until you are on a device which more easily allows you to post a link. If somebody beats you to the punch in the mean time, so be it. Accuracy over speed.

He is one of the most average players I've ever seen. He had one good season in Manginis first year IIRC, but has been average and in steady decline. He offers little to a team other than experience and run stopping ability. He can still set the edge fairly well, but you can forget about a pass rush. |

I know - which is why I said "on NFL.com"
My point is that instead of posting "Link! Link! Link!" like a toddler throwing a temper tantrum in the grocery store - why not help a fellow poster out who has explained that due to the limitations of mobile devices - I'm doing the best I can to get information out to the public. Why not put up the link for me if you're at a computer capable of doing such things? Why not be a help rather than a nuisance? Moderators should be better than that. I expect more of moderators.
For me - the best thing about this site is the collaboration of many sources of information in one place. If I'm posting rumours and something I overheard at the bar - I can see your point. But if I'm posting actual news - I think the FFNation should be able to type in "Bryan Thomas" into Google if they dont' believe me or help me out by posting the link. You can be a foe or an ally. And now - rather than talking about the actual news - a moderator has gotten us de-railed into talking about this nonsense.
I was irritated that JD, instead of contributing to the topic, just complained and whined about a link. In the future - I think JD has three options.
1) Help me out - put up the link for me and for others. I explained why I couldn't and I was home in 10 minutes to put the link up.
2) Send a friendly reminder but ALSO contribute to the post. Just sending a "Where's the link?!?!?!?" like your whole world is collapsing was irritating. To me anyway. But I'm an irritable guy. What are you contributing to the topic? Do you have any thoughts on the post?
3) Don't say anything at all. Trust that I will get the link up as soon as possible. |
