Don't remember seeing a guy improve so much during a season. Glad I was wrong.

I was wrong about him. I suck, you win Ambry!!!!
I have to say, Thomas came to kick ass and chew bubblegum, and he's all out of bubblegum. Extraordinary game by the rookie and I like my crow served with a side of ice cream please

I love this kid - I think he locked up that left corner spot.
The kid has come a LONG, LONG way! His future is looking bright!

I didn't like the pick at the time and him barely playing early in the season just validated those feelings.

But I have to give the man serious credit. He has improved visibly every week. He has shown that improvement even after getting picked on in some games. The fact that he can keep getting better and not get discouraged after going through a rough learning process… that means a lot to me. And now he is playing really well. The game winning interception is just an exclamation point on some serious growth. So hat tip to Ambry. I'm excited to see how far he goes. And I'm glad to admit I was wrong about him.

Reminds me a bit of Eric Wright. Eric Got burned a couple of times in the beginning of his rookie season, but saves the game winning TD after *The Catch*

I was going to say - that's a good comparison, Giedi.

I still want a very good cb in FA just in case bc of injuries and/or uneven play. I hope we don't settle on Moseley and Thomas on the outside

That hug between Peters and Ambry says a lot.
With how Ambry is playing we might be able to go EDGE now in Round 2 of this year's draft now. Then grab another CB in Round 3.

HONESTLY... I'm glad he made the INT..

But he was actually TOASTED had Staff thrown the ball any further...

When the ball was in the air, I was already looking where the FS was at!!

This is true. He made a nice play on it but if Stafford puts that pass on the money, OBJ is scoring a TD.

It was a great play by Thomas on a poor pass by Stafford and it was largely a poor pass due to the pressure coming from Bosa on the outside as well as up the middle and Stafford not being able to fully step into the throw. So say thank you to the DL.
