There's nothing wrong with criticizing things. It's just a bad look when there's zero consistency because......well, you put a political spin on everything.

I gotta agree. I believe the majority of the disdain for Thomas stems from the position he took on Drew Brees and his comments. However, I saw somebody attempting to play through a pretty serious injury last year that resulted in him needing surgery. I hope he plays with the Saints for a long time. If we have to move on from him hopefully we’re compensated handsomely.

And since you brought up politics. I sincerely hope you feel safe when you put your mask on when you go into a restaurant, then take it off when you're sitting down. HUUUUGE difference. When you sit, you're safer. Lol. Keep eating that spoon fed garbage.

Once again, wearing a mask is not to protect the wearer ... it is to protect others from the wearer. It is absolutely astounding that a few people do not understand this very simple concept. It truly calls into question the rest of their arguments.

Keeping a mask on limits the possible shedding to the table, not the entire path to and from the table.

Preach on brother.

Amen brother.

Cool. Have fun with that for the rest of your lives. Covid won't go away. Ever. I don't believe the masks are very effective and there's zero proof they are. I'll just live my life and breath oxygen. Besides, it's not fair to the world to cover my face. It's just to awesome. lol.

In the past month 209,057 new cases have been reported. 3,026 people have died from it. Most of them did not get their shot. You could be dead wrong. I hope not though.

For many, it's the accumulation of some immature mis-steps, not one particular moment...

But, you're forgetting he also basically took over from Marques Colston, who spoiled fans with his winning, work ethic, stoicism, and humbleness...

Just want to see Mike get on track, focused, break more records, help the team win...

Disagree. I think Drew's image was that of a team guy. Thomas' rep is the opposite. Personally I don't think that's true at all, but it is, I think, the perception.

What someone does with their perception is on them.
