Anyway...I think w/o Thomas taking a pretty big leap this year and establishing himself as a legit #2 threat we're gonna struggle again, which is exactly why i think he'll come out flyin and surprise the shit outta ya'll

Agreed. Cooley's site says a lot of good things about Thomas's seriousness about his job. I think he has immense potential and a fantastic work ethic, and from the sounds of it he has a good head on his shoulders.
