The difference between Miller and Thomas is so stark, I still don't understand the Thomas praise. As per his entire career, he manages to average more than a full YPC less than the starter. There's something to be said for Miller averaging 4.9 YPC and Thomas averaging 3.7 YPC. Every once in a while he'll break a 10 yard run or catch and capture fan hearts who don't notice that he's turning 20 yard gains into 10 yard ones.
I don't think anyone is comparing Thomas to Miller anymore. Thomas is getting praise because his play post getting cut has been better than it had been before.
nitpicking here, I hope that in the future when ryan sees a full out blitz, he gets out of the pocket quicker.
