    What the fukk is Darron Thomas thinking?

    ""I saw what Cam Newton did this year. He took his raw talent and made a spark. I can do those things, too.""

    This kid can't play qb in the NFL, unreal... stay in college and keep chillin with those co ed's...

    Darron Thomas is a system QB. He sucks in al reality. Never seen this guy make a tough throw into coverage. All of his recievers are running wide open

    He won't be getting drafted. He'll get on some practice squad then end up in the CFL. Kid isn't athletic enough to play any other position other than QB, doesn't have an NFL arm or IQ, and even Chip Kelly has basically said 'what is he thinking?' I like Darron Thomas, but whoever got into his ear and told him this is a good idea needs to be slapped.

    I'm guessing this decision was not made in a vacuum. He was probably looking at an academic suspension, failed drug test, criminal charges, couple pregnant hoes, something...

    Was quoted as saying he didn't like the idea of being challenged by Bennett in upcoming spring practice.

    Yeah, dumb idea. Should have enjoyed himself at Oregon.

    Lsu dared him to throw the ball to beat them. If you can't beat lsu, how do you win in the nfl unless your name rhymes with "knee glow".

    He saw the competition coming from Bennett, a smarter QB. He'll end up sitting on somebody's bench and being a solid backup for the next 10 years though. Just like his predecessor, Dennis Dixon.

    He already has his degree.

    He should of stayed for his senior season but Bennett will do just fine. He's got unbelievable mobility and he's quite accurate.

    Thomas will not be drafted. If you watched Oregon play he is a terrible passer and a below average runner. He made this move because Bennett was not only going to challenge but win the job out of spring as insider sources have already quoted that he would be the favorite out of spring. Bennett is a far better runner and its not hard to be a better passer than Thomas. He is nothing like Dixon, he can't run very well and makes 0 throws. He will not be a backup in the league. UFL, CFL, Arena are the options for him. He sucks, but what would his stock look like if he went back and got beat out. He just got exposed. Bye bye the Oregon offense will flourish with a QB that can actually run and throw

    And he was not even going to be the starter in 2012. Dude misses allot of throws and held back the offense. Sounds crazy for a team that averages so many points but he was not good this year

    Staying a year probably wouldn't have helped his draft stock.

    Best case scenario he's Pat White.

    Not in terms of where he will be picked but more along the lines of how he will be utilized in the NFL.

    Nowhere near Pat White. He does not rush. Pat white was one of the most prolific running QB last 30 years. Darron Thomas is not a runner and he does not do it well.
