Tyquan Thornton

[FCB02062]

Perhaps coaches have no confidence in OL for protection on deep throws and on the few occasions when they try one the want it to be Parker or Agholor

than why waste the draft pick

It's possible that since everybody else in the WR corps is scheduled to be gone or expensive by his fourth year, it might be worth having him worked in.

We seem to use a pipeline, especially when times are good at WR, and if we have one thing at WR it's depth. He's fortunately seeing a lot of snaps for a rookie.... I would love that to translate to a lot of production too. But it's not like anybody "wasted a draft pick" based on a handful of games.

PS to discuss the point being made - we have lots of confidence in Mac to throw deep given a beatable secondary - I believe Mac had a number of deep throws Thursday. But to the original point Parker and Agholor won the fast guys sweepstakes and Bourne and Meyers are the reliable guys... Meyers pending now of course.

It sounds terrible to draft a guy high then omg not make him your "number 1" receiver (he actually looked like he might make a case for it in TC)... but life can continue even if as reported he's "sliding down the depth chart" in his rookie year.

 

[captain stone]

He hasn’t shown a ton yet or accomplished much here…..time will tell if he will …..my worries are that he is extremely thin and prone to injury, and has shown difficulty fighting through coverage and his hand size was an issue at combine and can be alot of drops …..hope for the best for him

Don't forget his wrist size too, closer to those of a teen-age girl than an NFL player... And Baylor is one of the very last places I would look for WR help.

Meyers is OK I'm sure his shoulder hurts but all indications are he's a go.

10 catches for 86 yards through 11 games
Ridiculous.
Was not expecting Jerry Rice but this?

For whatever it is worth -

In the 2.5 games with Zappe, Thornton's stats are:

Targets: 12
Receptions: 7
Yds: 63
TD: 1
Rushes: 3
Yds: 16

He's had 0 Rushes for 0 yds in offense led by Mac Jones.

 

[Sam Bam Cunningham]

May be correct that they drafted him with the idea that 2022 would essentially be a redshirt year. Next year Agholor and possibly Myers may be gone. Not sure if he has shown enough for them to bank on him next year.

 

[Toofy]

Why do we redshirt wide receivers when no one else does . We don't score much on offense so why the need to redshirt .

Our offense should be the easiest considering there are no major play calls or designs .

Watson for GB is showing the tools. Thornton is compared with him and has nothing to show yet.

People that know college football....question: how good was he at getting open when it came to running routes?

Too early to be down on Thornton. Mac hasn’t been good enough QB to make the players around him better.

 

[JayNM]

One argument here:

There is so much work to be done in the Offense that I doubt that Thornton's contribution is on the forefront of Matt Patricia's mind.

 

[Wozzy]

Thornton was really good during that two week stretch versus Detroit and Cleveland, not much since then. Mac has been slowly getting better the last three weeks, maybe someone should remind him Tyquan is on the team?

Yeah, the Jets have a first-round Baylor WR in Denzel Mims with all the physical attributes but little production. You might be on to something there.

His wrist size is seriously slight. Didn’t we move up to get this guy?

Sounds like an overreaction to drafting slow N’Keal Harry when that year had speedsters galore at WR. Just from Ohio State alone.

 

[State]

In a domed stadium with the o line doing its best job of the year and we have not gone deep really at all and we’re playing a weak Vikings secondary and Thornton is not involved in the offense in the fourth quarter. That’s on the OC and the QB in that order.

All I was told in the summer was what a film addict this guy was. Lives and breathes football.

WTH Patricia! Are you waiting to unleash him against the Bills?

 

[State]

We were all over Romeo Dobbs, oops, Doubs, predraft. Multiple meetings, etc.

We should have taken a lineman in the second and not moved up. Dobbs was taken by Green Bay in a later round. Fifth maybe.

He’s been productive.

Has a reporter bluntly asked the OC what the plan is with the lightning fast WR? Zappe got him the ball. Why can’t MJ?

Thornton definitely have an excuse QB wise.

 

[FCB02062]

I old enough to remember when Thornton was "turning heads in the film room".... talk about propaganda

 

[VectorPrime]

There are college sophomores who were not alive the last time the Patriots targeted and drafted a great wide receiver. Malcolm Mitchell only half counts. And don’t even dare say Edelman the guy was drafted as “athlete”

 

[State]

Considering how the Vikings defense was crowding the line of scrimmage—with far less impact players on its line than the Jets—to thwart our running game and stymie our short to intermediate passing game, it doesn’t take a Bill Walsh to know that striking deep with one of the fastest players ever recorded at the combine is a legitimate target of opportunity. Esp second or third down and short. One in one, baby.
