He also had some weird thing with his dad being a pain in Elway's ass or some thing.

Thomas is a guy with incredible skills, but didn't appear to have the motivation to be the dominant guy that his size would allow him to be. I thought he was soft and just didn't want to kick ass bad enough.
JT received zero time his first two years, can't recall if it was injury related or not. Then, he played 14 and 10 games the next two seasons and grabbed 24 TDs (12 each) in those years, which made everyone wonder what could be when you look at him.... but 13 of those 24 TDs were in 6 games. And, down the stretch in '13 and '14, he was MIA.
Last year in JAX, the guy got paid huge money, started 11 games and had similar stats, aside from TDs - only had 5. So, was he a product of Manning? Probably, but the guy has little heart. Not worth 5 years and $46M, he's missed 13 games the last 3 seasons.
