Can Demaryius Thomas rebound?
Demaryius Thomas may have just recorded the most-dissapointing 1300-yard, 105-catch season in NFL history, and it’s entirely justified.
He choked. I don’t like saying that, but he did. He didn’t just drop the ball; he disappeared.
During the Broncos’ most-important moments, the playoffs, he caught just seven balls for 60 yards in three games; he caught one for 8 in the Super Bowl.
That’s not the type of production you expect from a guy making $14 million a year
Now, whether you think it’s in their best interest or not, the Broncos can’t trade Thomas; they can’t cut him, either. He’s getting paid to much. So, instead, you have to hope and pray he gets his game back on track.
I’m hopeful, if that means anything. I think the release of his mother from prison, the attention he received from the drops, as well as the general pressure that comes with a Super Bowl season got to DT, a guy who would like to stay as far from the spotlight as possible.
Maybe, with a few months away from the game, he can comeback next season with a refreshed mind and a rejuvenated game.
And, let’s remember, he did catch 105 balls for 1,304 yards and six touchdowns. Even at his worst, DT is one heck of a wideout.
