Dont’e Thornton should

I just commented in another thread he is a massive bust, Can't catch a cold....I envisioned him running reverses and catching long bombs and he hasn't done squat...He claims he was brought in to take Hyatts place, He couldn't lace Hyatts boots.

Be forced to give up number 1 and wear a number in the 80’s

I never really understood why so many were expecting big things from him. Yes he was highly recruited and looks the part, but he did nothing at Oregon to warrant the hype he received this offseason.

Our coaches were praising him, etc. in pre season. He needs to move on. It’s 14-0 if he catches that ball that hit his hands.

DThornton made a business decision and contracted a severe case of alligator arms on that play.

He was scared.

Not committed.

I hope they show that over and over again when they review the film

I can handle the drop more than I can his dropping because he was scared. Why play if you are scared?

I'd say he wishes he'd never transferred. He only had about 100 yards less that Squirrel did last year and had a huge YPC average

Seemed like a WR that would thrive in Heupels system

In my opinion, that drop was on the coaches for even putting him in the game. He has almost as many drops as he does catches but they threw it to him in the red zone anyway. That’s on them.

When Tennessee landed Thonrton from Oregon, I thought that he and McCoy would be a solid 1-2 combo this season.

Thornton needs to hit the JUGS machine hard this off season and approach the 2024 season like a contract season.

Our WR's, minus Squirrel (and Bru is hurt), are dreadful.

Webb will be a dog, imo. Just give him time.

Starting to wonder if the issue with Thorton is mental. These balls are hitting him right in stride and he's still dropping them. Killed multiple drives this year
