So you can’t wait to hear what I have to say in week three of the season? Fair enough. Can’t wait to tell you what I have to say then.

:bng:

So, you think his actions were best for the team then.

Nope. Not at all. But I'm not one to wallow in the negative. I'm a "let's move forward and make the best of things" type person. I guess that's hard for some to get a grip on.

I'm hoping it isn't something negative, but I'll probably be wrong based upon past history.

Nobody questions ability of @CantGuardMike, it's the emergence of a pattern of unprofessionalism since he signed for the #BigMo...

Thomas and Gardner's dustup in practice isn't concerning; but when Payton intervened, there's was some disrespect that came down from the wideout...

Fast-forward to the offseason with both a breakdown in communication with the team re: ongoing injury as well as flippant attitude to followup with physicians...

With Drew Brees not in house, where does the leadership now come? Not the rah-rah pregame stuff, but the veteran leadership that let's Mike know this isn't cool...

With the coin, cap commitment invested, MT isn't getting traded; but there needs to be a Code Red to address his behaviour, attitude before this gets out-of-hand...

I think it's already is out of hand. With Drew out of the building, a high character person would see this as an opportunity to lead, Thomas instead has taken the opposite path and disrespected his coaches and the team.

I have a feeling it bothers you and others FAR more than it does his teammates. Rez has spent for more time in a locker room than any of us and he may be able to verify this.

And the media has their paddles deep in there trying to stir everything as much as they can.

If I was his teammate, I'd be working to make is butt expendable.

If Mike comes back, Coach Payton will need to channel his inner Phil Jackson to keep the team focused with a black sheep of sorts. But in the meantime, we've got Jameis and plenty of condoms
