Tyquan Thornton Having a Tough Camp

[Triumph]

2 for 8 yards on the season. Tough camp and brutal season so far.

Son of Harry

Oh Dear - Whose going to take his place today and pick up his “one catch”? Such a shame, seems like just yesterday he was “turning heads in the film room”….

 

[Boomer B]

Another BUST at WR

If there was ever a preseason hype job that turned into nothingness...

 

[PWRxWLF]

Possibly being protected because theres interest in a trade or just actually a healthy scratch? Is it too early to call this pick a bust yet?

It was ridiculous. Adding muscle, fawning over his workouts, extolling his work ethic watching film.

Was he actually playing video games?

Nope

Thorton over Pickens is Cunningham over Dunlap all over again

 

[StrawHatPatriot]

Did he play today? Didn't see him

 

[TheRainMaker]

Close the book on him, he's done. History says when a draft pick on the Pats doesn't contribute substantially by year two, they never will. There are very small outliers to this such as Edelman, Wise and Uche who are both declining again.

BB you Draft him but now telling us quietly that he sucks bravo.

 

[PatsFan2]

Healthy scratch.

Just stupid by the Patriots.

it is hard to imagine that he is worse than JSS or Parker

It really is amazing to me that Thornton, in theory, is worse than those two guys. I mean by all metrics both Juju and Parker are two of the worst receivers in the entire league and Thornton is so bad that he can't get activated over one of them?

honestly i highly doubt that he is worse. I mean his speed can not only be used on vertical routes. right now no defense needs to fear our WR to go deep

I know I mentioned it the other day but a couple weeks back Lazar said TT was loafing on a fly route that was supposed to clear out space underneath for Bourne and it gave the DB time to break up the pass. Lazar also said that Thornton looked like he ran the wrong route last week and got benched after. If Thornton can't even act as a decoy that is telling. He doesn't strike me as lazy (But what the hell do I know?) so I wonder if it is a coaching issue. I really haven't been in love with the results at receiver under Troy Brown's coaching.

if he loafs and doesn’t do what he’s supposed to do so doesn’t do his job
then backs it up by screwing up and doing the wrong thing so again not doing his job,
just what do you think a coach could and should do?

only thing I can see is sit him on the damn bench.

what’s your alternative?
