Thomas is so weak in core and NON EXPLOSIVE -- a weakness and slowness that 4 years of D1 ball and two years of pro ball couldn't help. So weak that he'll never be a great guard and so slow of foot and instinct that he'll always be the worst tackle in the league, creating the worst OL in the league. Miami's OL with Thomas starting the last 8 games of the year was the worst OL and it wasn't even close. It was below zero, if such a ranking could exist.
It's a minor miracle that RT is still standing.
The only person high on Thomas is Philbin, and that's because he was also majorly high on Hartline, Ellerbe and Wheeler -- in other words, completely clueless on drafting or analyzing NFL talent. Good X and O but horrible, horrible talent eval.
Philbin is the only reason Thomas is still on the team -- a holdover from the dreaded Philbin/Ireland talent black hole.
