Javi Rt Sarcasm bro. No NFL team would line up a corner who is flat out bad against some of the best receivers in NFL history, meaning hes not even close to being the worst corner ever.
JahRunItUp How did he make it to the NFL, make an NFL roster, make it onto the field during a game, and then find himself lined up against NFL legends if he is the worst corner in NFL history? The worst corners ever would never even make a high school team, the worst corners in NFL history would never be seen on the field. The fact that there is NFL regular season game tape of him at all means he was far from being the worst corner in NFL history let alone throughout all levels of football. You can put together a 5 min compilation of any corner in NFL history, even Deion, just getting smoked by a mile play after play, doesnt mean theyre the worst corners in history.
Yeah he was getting beat, but look at who he was getting beat by. TO, Ochocinco, Steve Smith, Joey Galloway, Plaxico Burress etc. Some of the best CBs in the league couldn't hang with these guys.
Josh Lynch I understand it, but everyone fucks up every now and then. The point is this guy was in his final season and most of the clips were of him getting worked by some of the best in the league at that time. To call him the worst is a bit of a stretch.
HomemadeNub Probably, I can make cuts and have speed, whether I'd catch the ball or not is a different story, but I could probably beat him for speed and agility.
_Jaydee_ safety is not that easy at some point they have to cover two receivers at the same time by splitting the difference between the two receivers.
The title is cynical, but I can see his mistakes. 1.) He's watching a QB for about 2 seconds or more, while covering Ochocinco, T.O. and Plaxico. That's an elementary mistake. Instead of looking at his own WR, he's covering and maybe looking for a split second at the QB, he stops and looks at the QB too long. 2.) He trips up, while trying to cover Burress. And he loses his balance about 3 times more in this video. That's a horrible mistake to make, if you're playing in the pros. Keeping the back straight, so the balance points vertically, is crucial. Otherwise, you're prone to lose your balance. 3.) On 1 play (against T.O. on the Cowboys), he doesn't go for a conservative play. Instead of going for a batted ball, he goes for an INT, but instead it's a TD.
ya that and most of the deep bombs that he gives up you can tell the safety was suppose to have top side and he has underneath just like 90% of other cornerbacks do this guy is just a salty ass loser that never made it to the NFL so he has to try and talk shit about a sport he has no idea how to play at all. I feel so sorry for this guy he must just hate his life and prolly beats his wife or as i have to say now his boyfriend.
Funny thing is, the people who say he sucks and is terrible probably couldn't guard a 3rd string D3 Receiver. Correction, they probably couldn't even play football PERIOD. probably trip over their own two feet trying to backpedal. #KnowYourPlace
Here is your problem. I don't have to be able to play football to judge football players. I'm not the one who is paid millions of dollars. Just as I don't have to be a director to say a movie is terrible or be a chef to say a meal is bad. I don't understand why you think we have to be something to judge that thing, idiot
TheCephalon The thing is, chefs and movie directors do what they do for the people. Football players don't play for the fans, they play for the ring. They're money may come from the people but they can give a shit's less about playing for them. Fans are wishy washy.
Why wasn't his eyes on the WR's he was covering. It seems he paid too much attention to who the QB was going to throw the ball too and not focusing enough on his man. He definitely isn't the worse CB ever... Maybe one of the worse in the NFL but he wasn't that bad if he played in the NFL for 10 yrs. Somebody thought he was good enough to earn a starting job
If he is the worst cornerback in the NFL, why did he play against WR like Steve Smith, Chad Johnson or Burress (NY Giants)? Those were very good receivers when they played in the NFL.
If he made it to the Nfl Then hes not the worst ever Seriously. For the guy who made this video your a bum honestly, you have no idea how hard it is to play corner.
No because I came back to see what people would say now I've never seen to watch this all the time for laughs but y'all are co-signing getting cooked now a days 😭
199th pick to CHAMPION let me tell you this, I am a Saints fan, look at Browner's games, TELL ME HOW HE LOOKED GOOD, HE HAD PENALTIES IN ALL BUT 2 GAMES (the last two of the season, no less) and was beat by every receiver, hell, I could beat him, all he did was stand there
Frd Thomas isn't the worst Cornerback theres no worst one every corer makes mistakes or somebody gets into there head so he's not the only corner who makes big mistakes
Derryck Tarver Yea man. I think on some of the plays he expected a Free safety to help him. But the safety is either far away or just slow to recognize the receiver.
Notice at :51 into this clip it's obvious he's playing a press and release zone. He pressed the wr and released him over the top to the safety, but where was the safety? That's just 1 example from this clip of how bad Josh Bullocks was
Wow, this is some shit you'd see from a second stringer in high school. Fred Thomas was a great DB, but this was his last year in the NFL after a 13 year career. He seems tired or something.
This Vid is a compilation of his bad plays. Make one of good ones and I bet it's 3 times longer than this. Fred Was a very good corner with little help around him. He played along sides the likes of Bullocks, Bellamy, and Harper throughout his career. I won't even name the other corners he played besides.
mikedaflexta Mike McKenzie, Sammy Knight at safety... He had really good/ decent players BUT FOR SOME REASON the NFL PICKED Fred Thomas to treat like a rookie every game. I used to watch all the Saints games, this video is too short. The video shows the receivers people know.. I've watched him get done by no names, drop COUNTLESS CLUTCH interceptions, miss CLUTCH swats.. sometimes he could've gotten called with pass interference and it would've been a better move than just being there
Half of those were the safeties fault and you expect me to believe a corner sucks because you show him getting beat by CHAD JOHNSON, TERRELL OWENS, STEVE SMITH SR, AND JOEY GALLOWAY!?!?!?! GTFOH, I can't even watch the rest of video.
Guys, in a zone scheme you always look in the Backfield. Even Primetime would´ve, if he would´ve been asked to. As pointed out most of the time up against the best WR, a lot of Tampa 2, with very little help from OLB or Safety, and horrible Gameplan... so ok he´s not Primetime, but who is? Revis? Bailey? Talib? come on ;-)
The Smith plays are just not coverable. Nobody can cover that kind of pay, it's like the new back shoulder play that a CB really cannot cover. Also, most of these plays are not Fred's fault. Fred is playing cover 2 which means his responsibility as a CB on that side is to jam his WR and cover any RB out of the backfield and then move back to the flat on his side of the field and then if nothing there comes out he can move back even farther but he is not supposed to be on top the WR and certainly isn't in man coverage. The S is the problem here.
Let me see you go against any WR i bet you'll do worse, If you see what everyone else says I agree, He looks at the QB to much and that's a easy fix for him to make.
Renegade Wa Brandon browner has a solid career with Seattle and and was solid for the patriots the problem was he was to big and slow should of played safety
well in the poor guys defense, covering WRs like Terrell Owens, Chad Johnson, Steve Smith, and Keyshawn Johnson, one-on-one is usually not going to turn out good lol those guys can make ANY cornerback look mediocre and those guys show up on this vid more than once haha he should have had help and those WRs should have been double teamed
that first smith catch.....fucking deion sanders couldnt cover a catch like that. Thats just pure Steve Smith skills. Yes Thomas was bad, but those type of plays make anyone look bad.
Jansen Estrada Bullshit Sanders couldn't cover that. He caught it because he beat the CB initially and Deion wouldn't let that happen. He may be the best CB to ever play the game (this coming from somebody who loves the Bears)
He was the best CB ever to play. but where the ball was thrown and the difficulty of the play would make it nearly impossible for him to do so. Yeah thomas got beat initially and couldnt recover. And yeah Deion probably wouldnt get beat initially either but how that ball was placed and caught is ridiculous. You cant take that away from Smith.
Jansen Estrada No lie i hate people like u this guy is a better corner than u guys. He is one of the best corners in the USA because he is one of the few that made it
Derrik Allen Well no shit he's better. He's in the NFL. Listen, I'm not bashing the corner. as a LB I respect my corners since they got a lot to work at to make the defenses job easier. I'm just pointing out that sanders is the best CB to ever play the game and there is not a snowballs chance in hell that you can deny that. I'm not bashing this guy at all. Cool, he struggled, oh well, but my point is that Sanders is the best to play the game.
Jansen Estrada The point was that the catch was possible because smith beat him initially. I hated playing man coverage because if a faster receiver got past me it was over no matter what. Sanders wouldn't let that happen, and he wouldn't let that much space between him and the offensive player. I also give a lot of credit to smith for catching it, but your job as a receiver is easier when you can get an initial jump on the CB. I also give a lot of credit to CB's because they got a tough job. Like I said, I hate playing man coverage just because of that. and I agree that derrik has no idea what he is fucking talking about.
During that 04-08 run Fred Thomas did get victimized by a lot of recievers but the defensive back position (particularly the cornerback position) is the most difficult position to consistently excel at in the NFL especially with today's rules.
+Blazing2Glory1 no it isnt, if he were playing a zone he played right but it was man an you dont stare at a qb without having a clue as to where your man is. It was bump and run coverage so during his "bump" thats when he should have seen either a run or a pass. But as soon as the receiver makes him turn his feet, or pass him, thats when the cb should have stayed on the receiver
He looks like one of those guys who was fast in college and that masked his bad technique. Then he gets to the pros where everyone is fast, and his weaknesses become glaringly obvious.
He did that because the receivers head flicked up like the ball was coming, then he just didn't stay with him. If you didn't know when playing corner you watch the receivers eyes and when he looks for the ball is only when you look away from him.
Tyler Harrell it could be that, but I bet when remembering his analysis of the playbook he expected 81 to cut out and fred wanted to jump the throw. However, 81 continued on a fly like pattern. Who really knows what he was doing.
And some of them were team coverage errors. you can clearly see him dropping into cover 2 and racing back to get the receiver he knows is going to be all alone becuase the safety wasn't doing his job. 4 verts in a cover 2 is always gonna win
he may get beat often, but look what he's wearing. he has an NFL uniform, anyone with that from starter to back up deserves respect. cuz anyone talking shit to the dude isn't in the league and he is 👍 props to him he's trying his best...hopefully
He's being beat by the best wide receivers in the NFL. Defensive coordinator set him up to fail. You just don't cover those types of receivers man to man, you'll get burnt as a team. Seems the quarter backs had all day to throw the ball. Where's the pass rush, No QB should have more than 3 seconds to get rid of the ball ever.
Most these highlights was in 2006. He was 33 and that was his last season. He had lost a step. He was a good cornerback but was past his prime in 2006.
As far as I know, all of these clips were during his last season. Dude played 12 years and was even selected to a pro bowl for a reason. I dont think judging his entire career on his last 7 games is fair.
@Leo Davinci- you do realize that fred thomas fails to beat receivers on the inside battle and constantly falls off them. I can also tell you that it isn't always his job to watch the rb. On my HS team, I had responsibility of the rb on cover 2 (LB) I do agree though that it is the safety's fault as well because thomas was getting no help at all. On plays with zone, he got no safety help and on plays with man, again, no safety help. His responsibility on cover two though, is to keep on his man if there is no rb. if there is a rb then a lb is supposed to cover the rb. Fred just didn't have the safety help to make any of those big plays. But the one where he lets the ball slip out of his hand into owen's is flat out sad play right there.
for the worst corner ever they sure do line him up against the best wideouts a lot!
He used to be decent
+playmaker88wr Shows how bad the Saints were.
Javi Rt Sarcasm bro. No NFL team would line up a corner who is flat out bad against some of the best receivers in NFL history, meaning hes not even close to being the worst corner ever.

He got beat a lot but this was vs Steve Smith , TO, and Ocho all in there prime while Fred Thomas here was 33 in his last season in the NFL.

Almost every receiver he faces in this video is a future hall of famer. Aside from Plaxico. Fuck outta here
That what I was thinking
The title is cynical, but I can see his mistakes.

Its 2021 I remember when this came out !
I don't think hes the worse, I just think he gets matched up by some of the great wideouts.
1:18 is actually perfect coverage, the safety over top is supposed to help if the receiver goes deep.
No. He thought he was jumping the route and had his entire back to the receiver
This guy lasted in the NFL for 11 years, that fact alone warrants respect. No way he is the worst cornerback ever.
Why is he on the teams best wr?
He reminds me of a highschool freshman
Let me see you go against any WR i bet you'll do worse, If you see what everyone else says I agree, He looks at the QB to much and that's a easy fix for him to make.
tanner hornfeck that's an easy fix he didn't make. There's a reason this video is titled "worst cornerback ever" he sucks. Period.
If he's the worst cornerback ever, why would he be put to defend Steve Smith Sr., Ochocinco, Desean Jackson, and Plaxico Burress?
not his fault their was no passrush if i was covering for that long my dude would get open jeez the QB has like 10 seconds to throw
Tyrann Mathieu - Honey Badger - No Fly Zone Safeties did not help him too..
Think about it you can't call him the worst he's going up against TO,steve smith sr,and Ocho
It was his awareness, press, and play recognition
I thought this would be about Jason David or Brandon Browner.
Jason David
Renegade Wa Brandon browner has a solid career with Seattle and and was solid for the patriots the problem was he was to big and slow should of played safety

I also give a lot of credit to smith for catching it, but your job as a receiver is easier when you can get an initial jump on the CB. I also give a lot of credit to CB's because they got a tough job. Like I said, I hate playing man coverage just because of that. and I agree that derrik has no idea what he is fucking talking about.
He had 13 interceptions with the Saints.
Dude being a cornerback is confusing as fk....
+ii HD R3MiXx not if u were richard sherman
+Tajdar Siddiqui Sherman is ass
+Tajdar Siddiqui that is true
+ii HD R3MiXx You just need to focus on where the ball is going and block the reciver.u also need to concentrate and run fast
Not exactly I play CB in high school it's not really that difficult yeah it takes time to learn zone
y was he on the saints for so long if he sucks
He wasn't always bad it was just he was old the season they made all these clips
During that 04-08 run Fred Thomas did get victimized by a lot of recievers but the defensive back position (particularly the cornerback position) is the most difficult position to consistently excel at in the NFL especially with today's rules.
Most of these are against TO, ochocinco, etc. so he would get torched on every play
lol this dude played for eleven years and had great stats in 2002 he got way better this is when he was new to the NFL
In the guys defense, he's covering like 6 different future hall of fame wide receivers in this video.
lol he would play for the aints
Junior Galette that's you?
did I mean saints or did u mean aints as in rejects of the NFL
DeuCe TaLL what
+Liam Luvai are you still whipping females in the face with belts, junior ?
No
Looks like the worst safety ever! If he is in man coverage where us his help over the top?
0:52 any cornerback that watches the QB like that is garbage
+DailYxDosE like u could do any better
Dylan Gage lmfao im a LB and i bet i could
+DailYxDosE linebackers, my bigger but slower friends
that's how they are trained how do u think CB's stop a lot of runs BTW he was watching the ball like you're suppose to
+Blazing2Glory1 no it isnt, if he were playing a zone he played right but it was man an you dont stare at a qb without having a clue as to where your man is. It was bump and run coverage so during his "bump" thats when he should have seen either a run or a pass. But as soon as the receiver makes him turn his feet, or pass him, thats when the cb should have stayed on the receiver
He made the NFL. Thats something to always be proud about. He's made millions while the rest of us didn't.
I like how every one of these clips has a GREAT WR when they was in their prime.
Smith, Ocho, T.O., Plaxico,
Half of these plays looks like he was expecting safety help
Any sentence that begins with "Worst Cornerback Ever" must end with two words, Ahmad Carrol
"Fred Thomas just got used...Fred Thomas beaten again" -Commentator lmao
This song was in my head for days and I couldn’t remember why then BOOM lmfao
This was made 3 days after I was born
he probably had so many tackles because he presses the “play man” button every time lmao
He looks like one of those guys who was fast in college and that masked his bad technique. Then he gets to the pros where everyone is fast, and his weaknesses become glaringly obvious.
The play at 1:51 what is this guy doing...? Turns around in the middle of the play to look at the QB.
He did that because the receivers head flicked up like the ball was coming, then he just didn't stay with him. If you didn't know when playing corner you watch the receivers eyes and when he looks for the ball is only when you look away from him.
Tyler Harrell it could be that, but I bet when remembering his analysis of the playbook he expected 81 to cut out and fred wanted to jump the throw. However, 81 continued on a fly like pattern. Who really knows what he was doing.
And some of them were team coverage errors. you can clearly see him dropping into cover 2 and racing back to get the receiver he knows is going to be all alone becuase the safety wasn't doing his job. 4 verts in a cover 2 is always gonna win
Playing cornerback in madden is the worst, from the camera angle to trying to tail the receiver..
probably the worst Free Safety help ever too
Even though he's bad he still made it to the pros.
he may get beat often, but look what he's wearing. he has an NFL uniform, anyone with that from starter to back up deserves respect. cuz anyone talking shit to the dude isn't in the league and he is 👍 props to him he's trying his best...hopefully
he was old. He got drafted in 1996 and played until 2007. that is a long time of wear and tear on a body.
Also gives him a large margin of mistakes. No one is perfect especially over a long career like his.
He had like 14 picks his whole career… Thats AWFUL.
Not with the "fallen down playin" 😂😂
Dang that cornerback is pretty darn good.
You dont wanna win? Put Fred Thomas in!!
He's being beat by the best wide receivers in the NFL. Defensive coordinator set him up to fail. You just don't cover those types of receivers man to man, you'll get burnt as a team. Seems the quarter backs had all day to throw the ball. Where's the pass rush, No QB should have more than 3 seconds to get rid of the ball ever.
In 2002, he had 5 picks and followed that up with 4 ints in 2003
2:16...killin me ROTFL. Happens to all D Backs at times, but still some funny stuff
Most these highlights was in 2006. He was 33 and that was his last season. He had lost a step. He was a good cornerback but was past his prime in 2006.
Not only is he a terrible corner but he is watching chad Johnson, Steve smith, and plaxico burress
This guy was able to keep his job long enough to cover T.O. from San Francisco to Dallas. That's impressive!!!!!
As far as I know, all of these clips were during his last season. Dude played 12 years and was even selected to a pro bowl for a reason. I dont think judging his entire career on his last 7 games is fair.
Prove to me why he is the WORST against NON ALL STAR RECEIVERS!
There needs to be an updated version of this video with James Bradberry
worst cornerback is Dora she can't even cover Swiper
he looks back every time he gets burnt up
@Leo Davinci- you do realize that fred thomas fails to beat receivers on the inside battle and constantly falls off them. I can also tell you that it isn't always his job to watch the rb. On my HS team, I had responsibility of the rb on cover 2 (LB) I do agree though that it is the safety's fault as well because thomas was getting no help at all. On plays with zone, he got no safety help and on plays with man, again, no safety help. His responsibility on cover two though, is to keep on his man if there is no rb. if there is a rb then a lb is supposed to cover the rb. Fred just didn't have the safety help to make any of those big plays. But the one where he lets the ball slip out of his hand into owen's is flat out sad play right there.
