It's easy, and only takes a few moments.He was constantly hurt, dropped numerous easy balls, committed a number of idiotic penalties and quite frankly,played his way off the team. Hindsight is great...like the Giants giving up on Shockey..which BTW was a far more important acquisition for the Saints than Dave Thomas...kill THAT too.
If we had kept Thomas he would have been like the rest of the te's and would have been left unused
What do you mean he never got a real chance?? Gotta love the riff raff who talk out of their backsides..thomas, like so many other draft picks for the pats, never get a real chance since there are simply too many reasons to wind up in BB's doghouse

I was talking about garbage that has polluted this board like manure... YUKKKKKK!!talking about yourself? every time he screwed up, he'd disappear for bunch of games.
I thought he played well enough to earn more time and am glad he is doing well somewhere else
my backside produces the equivalent of what comes out of your head
Gaffney is the player NE should have kept - 54 rec for 732 yards - not Thomas.
Gaffney had 38 catches for the patriots last year. Edelman had 37 this year.
It is a bit bizzare that he could
a. have a roster spot and start 8 games on another NFL team immediately following (after not some long term rehab) basically being waived by Pats
b. that team is a #1 seed with much more talents on his side of the ball
c. that team is loaded with talent receivers, and has another probowl TE already (Shocky)
yet the team that released him:
a. has a depleted offense roster with very few offense weapons
b. has to use special teamer Aiken and practice squader Stanback as the 3rd and 4th receiver
c. has got very little production from its TE position (after trading for another TE Mathews and then waived him as well)
Seems pretty clear cut ... yet some people just refuse to tell the difference between black and white.
Don't tell that to the homers on this message board since they still have their heads buried in the sand. Aside from Gostkowski, the 2006 NFL Draft for the Patriots has turned out to be a disaster.It is a bit bizzare that he could

We will see whether the Patriots re-sign tight end Ben Watson during this off-season.It may seem bizarre to you, but Watson is a much better all around TE than Thomas and Baker is a much better blocking TE and redzone threat than Thomas. Thomas would have been inactive in almost every game if he were on the patriot roster.
