I'd rather give thompkins another year. He wasn't awful for an UDFA ROOKIE. Another year in the offence I think he can get 600-700 yards and 5-7 tds. He came though in the saints game, big time play.
Geez...anything but this option for me.
I think that Thompkins will be given the opportunity to earn a roster spot just like anyone else, but if he does make it, we won't be seeing anything close to as much as we did last season, and would be a depth option at best.
You're talking about a WR who looked very limited a lot of the time talent-wise, couldn't beat man coverage whatsoever, didn't do anything in the YAC game, didn't earn Brady's trust (outside of maybe your example of the N.O. game on a glorified short field version of a hail mary), and had a total of 11 receptions in the 3 month span from mid-October through mid-January.
If he's not a perfect candidate for an instant upgrade, I don't know what to think.
