Yep, he's not a WR1. But I bet he thinks he will be at UGA and the UGA staff probably convinced him that he will be if he plays to his potential.

But outside of week 2 against Austin Peay, he won't take over a game or force a DC to game play for him. So he will be WR2 or WR3 there as well.

Wrong

But it's not devastating

I'm not wrong. He isn't that good.
Define "that".

He's average


Well he was going to be a starter next year for us. So...

Losing an average player who was going to start isn't a big loss.

I'm glad our not good receivers catch 8 TDs in a season. That means our good ones are catching 12+ per year. Can someone remind me how many we had last year that caught that many.

This honestly sucks because I really liked Noah and thought he represented A&M well. Part of what made CFB great was rooting for guys like him and following their careers after the graduated whether that be in the NFL or the private world. Really does suck that while he'll always "be an ag" it's a much more diminished version of it.
He never was "an Ag." That doesn't make him evil, but the sooner we accept the football team in no way, shape or form represents Texas A&M, the sooner we can move on from this nonsense and cut the cord.

Agreed…wondering if thinks he will get better development and exposure at Georgia.
It's almost assured he will. He is a deep ball specialist. What is the number one thing we have struggled to even get off in the past 4+ years?


Not a deep ball specialist, doesn't have the speed. More of a possession receiver.

Had two 100+ yard receiving games this past season, one against Ark and one against Aub. Next highest yardage game was 65 against Mizzou.

I wish he was staying, as I think he has value, but he may have just wanted a change of scenery, which is now easier to do than it has ever been in college football. I don't think him moving on hurts anything other than pride.

Having 8 TDs in a season doesn't mean you're a great receiver. It means 8 of your catches happened to occur in the end zone. Look at his stats in conference games. He is absolutely average whether he goes or stays. He was just billed as the next Mike Evans out of high school so everybody still thinks he has Mike Evans type potential. But he's in year 3 and he's been JAG. Let him walk if he doesn't want to be here.

That being said, he will absolutely be developed better and have a better shot at the NFL if he goes to Georgia. That is the smart move for him. If they're offering, he should go.

I don't see how he'll play for Georgia. He can't get separation. Of course, if he develops into a big league player, it'll certainly tell us that our wr coach sucks.

Hes not remotely Evans. Evans is a burner in a tight end body.

Ever wonder if maybe we have struggled for the last few years to hit deep balls in part because Noah Thomas has been the one on the receiving end of those deep balls? He is not a deep ball specialist. He is slow and lacks athleticism, and he is still underweight and weak compared to what he should for someone of his size after 3 years in a college weight room. Definitely more of a possession receiver who catches the ball just past the sticks and doesn't break tackles or have any ability to run after the catch. Everybody screams that we need more explosive and athletic wide receivers because our passing game is so bad (absolutely true), but then they cry like little girls when the key piece of that receiving corps for the past 3 seasons leaves. Noah Thomas is average, he is not explosive, he is not athletic, and he is not a big loss for the offense.

I know, but that is how he was described by the TexAgs staff when he was recruited, and everyone here ate it up. Obviously he is not even in the same universe as Evans while Evans was at A&M.

Remember when Stewart left for Oregon? Where did he rank among their WRs?

I feel the same here. Noah wants targets and he had plenty this year as the only option with some upside and he did OK, not great but OK. I don't think he is a #1 WR, A 2 maybe...a 3 sure. I feel what we have committed and the one we get to replace him in the portal will make this a non issue and a loss we won;t feel.

I looked it up.

Noah 6'6" - 39 rec. 574yds. 14.7yd avg. 8TD. SEC
K. C. 5'11" -53 rec 460yds. 8.7yd avg. 6TD. ACC


It appears that last season, Noah was considerably better than half as good as KC. Total yds, avg yds per catch, and touchdowns are all better, with a QB that couldn't hit the broad side of a barn if it was more than 15 yards downfield.

He was our best WR last year by a long shot and would have been our best WR next year. That seems like a big loss.

Any time you have starters leaving, it shows your program is a dumpster fire. Especially when there is no coaching change.

Wrong on next year I hope. But if he would have been our best next year, that would mean we're bound for another 7-8 win season anyway, so still not much of a loss.

Of course our program is a dumpster fire. I'm extremely critical of our program and get called a pot banger and accused of being a sip troll constantly because of that. But Noah Thomas is average and not a big loss. I will keep posting this over and over until people stop responding to me.

Well, if it's being on a National Championship team, then the grass is definitely greener at Georgia. Besides, when Kirby Smart calls, you better damn listen.

Just me, but maybe it could be that simple - he might just want to experience being on a true contender, practice against the best day in and day out, and then prove himself in the combines and Pro Days.

Georgia's Pro Days are simply the best attended for all positions, maybe Ohio State or Alabama can match them.

He will do just fine at Georgia. Don't blame him one bit for wanting a better offense and scheme around him.

This is correct. I don't think Noah is a big loss, but Georgia is objectively a night and day better program, and he should go if they're giving him the chance.

Here's the problem with Thomas... he does not have acceleration or grip strength and I'm curious what his real vertical is. He had good 40 and 100m supposedly but I just don't see explosiveness. If he had an elite shuttle or vertical I'm sure it would have been publicized in his recruiting. He has not added these through weight room and training thus far. Don't see enough power in body to cut, change direction. This is why he struggles with separation, catch radius, and 50/50 sec balls. Would be a nice big body to have and see develop to be a legit nfl prospect. Could do it. Not that guy yet.
