It's easy, and only takes a few moments.The hypersensitive Tebow Fan like reaction you and some others have to any statement about Amendola is absurd. Are you going to put up billboards if Edelman starts at slot over him?
He is feeling the pressure; he knows that he is not a lock for this roster.
People do underestimate (including me) Thompkins talent level. If he did join the 200+ club, and improved his speed he could compare favorably with this year’s #1 WR Sammy Watkins.

The question is can Thompkins play like Watkins who is smooth in his routes and has very good hands. If what is happening in camp is a sign of things to come he could be a real steal, but I have to be honest I cannot remember many outside (non-slot) WRs who entered the NFL as UDFA and became stars. If I am overlooking some let me know, I did not do any research.
I never said it was a negative, I said he has been on the field first and second because he knows he is not a lock. You just make **** up based on defensive insecure emotions and think it is reality and it is not.Amendola (and a lot of other players) are putting in extra effort. This is 100% positive, nothing negative about it. I'm sure he wants to get off to a good start, but again that's positive.
"Amendola was the first player on the practice field yesterday, and the second play out there today." That's great, 100% positive.
Totally invented negative from your imagination. continuing on your juvenile vendetta.
I was speaking to the level of physical talent, I clearly said the question is whether Thompkins can develop into the type of receiver Watkins is, who is smooth in his routes and has great hands. Context is important to take into account.With all due respect, this post is just awful. When talking about players you always seem to post this some what irrelevant crap, like above.
Comparing Watkins to KT based on combine stuff, is f'n nuts. Do you even watch college football?

I never said he was scared. I said he is working hard because he is not a lock. I do not see it as a positive or a negative. I was just pointing it out because Reiss highlighted it in his notes today.Doing something only because you are scared, then saying he's not a lock are two negative things.
Everybody here reads that, so if you can't see you turned a positive to a negative, you might be possessed and unable to control what you post when it involves a certain player.

This offseason it was reported that Thompkins is now north of 200lbs.Twenty lbs. is a significant physical difference.

I'm not sure.What are his measurables now then? We only know them from when he was 190.

No, B6. He is "hard working" because he's ALWAYS been hard working. That's how UDFA's get those million dollar contracts.I never said he was scared.

By insinuating that he's only working hard because he views himself not a "lock" is totally being disingenuous. We get it. You don't like DA. Fine. Don't feel the need to let us know with every post regardless of the topic. Even the very slow amongst us can remember.
BTW- DA looked very good out there today.
