Plus the offensive line minus Kruetz is terrible.

Wrong about Thomas being a bad receiver. Have you watched any games this year? I don't think he's dropped a pass all season. Just because the old regime didn't pass him the ball does not mean he can't catch passes. For having such an amazing ability to break big plays, how come A-Train has just as many big plays? Anthony Thomas sure seems to do alright running when everybody knows about it.

Without jones the bears would really be in a mess offensively.

Anthony Thomas doesn't play ever. If he was used in the passing game the way Jones is, he'd have just as much impact (probably more since he can run over people in the open field). If Anthony Thomas was the starter, they'd have more than 5 wins.
