Size and no real position yet. That plus the failures of LaMichael James and Kenjon Barner in the NFL. I really think it comes down to coaching at this point. Neither the 49ers nor the Panthers had any idea what to do with their kind of abilities.
The other difference between them is that Thomas is a far better receiver coming out of college than either Barner or LaMichael James were. He looks a lot more like Tavon Austin than either of those guys. Thomas is the kind of player that you have to have a plan for if you want to take advantage of his gifts. Reid, if his track record is anything to go by, is fully capable of doing that.
