And, yet, if he remains well liked by his teammates how is that a cancer? The fact that he has ruffled feathers of some fans means nothing. I'm looking forward to him and Callaway shredding opponents all season long. Thomas is apparently well ahead of schedule and can be back fairly soon.

Can’t wait until he’s back.

Sure. I want to win too. But he better be worth the money. And drama.

I think he’s gonna ball out when he comes back. You’ll see him stretch the field as well. Everybody suffered from the inability of Brees to push it down field. I can’t wait to see how wide open this offense is going to look. Thomas is gonna wreck shop when he gets back.

What you said should be his sole measuring stick - perform and it goes away, don't and it's all rolled into the reasons why he should go.

I 100% agree this offense is poised to be #1 in the NFL. Jameis has the arm. Elite O line. We have the weapons. No more safeties cheating up 2-3 yards. Kamara will dominate.

I'm pumped!

I don't know why everybody is rolling on him. All that matters in context is that he gets along with Coach and performs when he's on the field. **** happens with injuries, and our team doesn't exactly have an exemplary record with it's players on the subject.

A few good games and everybody will forgive him or stop dwelling on the man's personal life.

Truth, and sad. Social Dilemma is something he (and everyone else) should watch. He's not doing anything his peers aren't doing. Personally, I don't understand walking around looking in other people's windows (social media), even if they want me to. Especially if they want me to, cause that's weird. We can be sad for the world, but picking on one guy because he's on our team...

Meh. Let him be.

People aren't picking on one guy - they're commenting on a public figure's repeated issues and how he's responding to them.

Public figure....

He's a football player. The Saints chose to pay the man. He wasn't voted into his role on the football team by us. I could feel violated (potentially) if that were the case. In this case I do not. Just me. E'rybody carry on with ya'll bad selves....
