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.

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.
