Why waste Winston on the bench doing nothing when he can be at QB and Hill out there catching balls, running the ball, making tackles, returning kicks, blocking, and coming in for the occasional wildcat. That would be the best use of our talent.
That's one way of looking at it, but I don't feel it's wasting him if he has no one to throw to IMO, it's wasting the QB position. You can only throw to Kamara just so many times. Obviously, we have differing views. Hill does all of those things while in QB position, with the exception of throwing it to himself.

If they can't get home boy back by Halloween, I think we need to give our doctors and conditioning staff the #FireVenturi treatment. Running out of passes (not the football kind) in my book.

Trade him at the earliest possible moment.

I agree, it would be good to throw him out there and see if there are any bites.

Re: Michael Thomas Out for Start of Season

Well thats another blow for the Saints this upcoming season!

I'm always a glass half full kinda person so I'm hoping that the Coaching staff had an idea this may happen and have some plans to put in place until he can get back out there!

Going to be a very interesting season for the Saints this year, thats for sure!

GEAUX SAINTS! WHO DAT!

Re: Michael Thomas Out for Start of Season

“Per Underhill, Michael Thomas saw a specialist after the 2020 season ended. Thomas was supposed to spend a month or so attempting to heal the ankle and then return to the specialist to see whether surgery would be needed. Underhill reports that the return visit never happened.”

Well… that’s problematic.

Timing is everything. Trading him now would only net the least value possible. If anything, the Saints have to get him on the field at some point this year to showcase his abilities again to get a solid trade offer.
