To answer your questions in order:

1) we drafted Thomas after 1 year of college. The organization spent millions on Thomas/Kelly and invested the future of our offense in their hands. They knew both would need development. We know we have an organization that spends Millions on top level talent and Millions on top level coaching across the board. We should have a WR coach who has at least proven he can HELP a young receiver develop.

2) as in college, life, professional career: if you have a proven teacher, who can guide you it helps. Again, Thomas was a known young player who had not had all the training college could provide so his learning curve was steeper than most. That is not to absolve Thomas/Kelly, they should show improvement on their own, but if the positions coach does not improve the rate of learning then let the position coach go, and have a peer to peer driven development program (obviously I am not advocating this approach)

3) I don't think ONLY Hixon is responsible or that he is even an impedement, simply that he is not the best we could have, and we should try, given our investment last year, to give our players the BEST available coach and coaching assistants out there.
