Fans of the Washington Redskins aren’t going to be thrilled with the photo posted to the Facebook page of Devin Thomas.
While I’ve never had a problem with Thomas, even I get that seeing the team’s former second-round pick with his hands on the Lombardi Trophy is not going to be enjoyable for D.C. sports fans.
Maybe it’s because he was a bust in Washington. Maybe it’s because fans felt he spent more time shooting music videos and modeling than actually learning how to run effective routes in the NFL. Or maybe he just represents all that was bad about the Vinny Cerrato era.
Whatever the case, this is why so many Redskins fans would have rather seen the New England Patriots win the Super Bowl than seeing the New York Giants win their second title in four seasons.

I have no problem with Devin Thomas. Much like Patrick Ramsey and Jason Campbell it is hard to hold anyone accountable for struggling to achieve their potential when playing for such a dysfunctional organization. Good for Devin Thomas for landing with a stable organization.

I can’t be mad at the man for going to a team with a solid foundation.

Devin Thomas was just along for a ride with the Giants and happened to get a ring.

That’s not true, he made a couple of big plays in the post-season to help them get to the Super Bowl. It’s better to give credit where it’s due instead of being bitter.

I’m not bitter. It’s just my opinion that he hardly contributed to the Giants season.

You have to like the picture, though. Devin holding up the number of offensive plays he played in the Super Bowl.

devin thomas recovered that fumble in OT in the nfc championship game. they don’t go to the superbowl without that recovery. that’s a pretty significant contribution the Giants’ season
