Re: Michael Thomas Progress
 

If Michael Thomas ends up being in the running for comeback POTY, then Jameis Winston should be in the running too!

Re: Michael Thomas Progress
 

Agreed. It is a little unnerving, that two "keys" to the team are coming off serious injury. It does kind of leave us with more question marks than confidence.

Re: Michael Thomas Progress
 

I agree. Yet the Strange thing though Subguy is I actually feel pretty good with Dalton as backup and the WR corps with Olave, Landry, Callaway, and Harty and the UDFAs on the team. With the potential of the D, I still feel pretty good with those players. Maybe I’m kidding myself, but 9-8 last year with adding Olave, Juice and Dalton alone (and a healthy O line) gives me hope…

Re: Michael Thomas Progress
 

IF our defense is as advertised, AND Winston falters, we could have a Trent Dilfer type take us all the way!

Re: Michael Thomas Progress
 

Re: Michael Thomas Progress
 

Re: Michael Thomas Progress
 

I'm glad the writer has a "strong feeling". We're a better team with a healthy MT. Wait and see mode for me...

Re: Michael Thomas Progress
 

99.9 % of us ...

It's been a while.

Re: Michael Thomas Progress
 

Just listened to Nick's video above.

I like what he stated about MT's health not necessarily being a cause for concern (yet). Nick's been up close and in person.

I agree that - and to use his phrase - MT may not be the lynchpin for success, but like I said earlier a healthy MT makes us even better.

Because if he's NOT healthy then he'll have earned all the criticism that comes his way

Re: Michael Thomas Progress
 

In depth coverage from him right there. He also reminded us Thomas had some
great seasons in the past. Who knew ? 🙄

Re: Michael Thomas Progress
 

I get these sites have to generate "content" but they keep using that word, I do not think it means what they think it means...

Re: Michael Thomas Progress
 

Dude, I was saying the same to thing someone. Dalton may end up being key.

He is largely forgotten when talking about the Saints. He has to receive some props, he played with the crappy Bengals for years.

He most definitely needs an O-Line. Being new and losing an anchor is a tad worrisome.

Re: Michael Thomas Progress
 

sure it will... wait... watch .... and see:bng:

Re: Michael Thomas Progress
 

Re: Michael Thomas Progress
 

The two different viewpoints are actually measuring different things and could both be correct. Like RG3 says, having Thomas in should help Olave and Landry get open and be more productive. This will make the Off as a whole more difficult to stop and theoretically lead to more wins.

The other guy says as far as strictly fantasy numbers, giving Winston more options will inevitably lead to a decrease in production for Thomas. That doesn’t necessarily mean fewer wins for the Saints.

Re: Michael Thomas Progress
 

Both of them make decent points about his performance this year. Thomas needs to prove it. Not necessarily on a video where he's too far away to see if that's him.LOL Maybe he should get Winston's PR guy to shoot his videos.

Re: Michael Thomas Progress
 

That Thomas sprint video cracks me up too Rugby. If he doesn’t want to post videos about his workouts and status then that’s fine and obviously his prerogative.

It’s also my prerogative to compare the videos of him available to the videos of Winston. Comparing those is funny to me. Not knocking the players, just smiling at the videos

Re: 2022 New Orleans Saints: Roster Outlook
 

Kareem Hunt would be a nice addition to the backfield. Ingram is older & I don't have a lot of confidence in what's behind him.

Re: 2022 New Orleans Saints: Roster Outlook
 

Re: 2022 New Orleans Saints: Roster Outlook
 

That's a pretty good list with explanations. I don't really see anything different unless we bring in a veteran RB or TE. Either way it should be an exciting season. The offseason was crazy good. Maybe this year will be crazy good for the team. All we need is time to gel. We have a history of slow starts and with this many new faces it will take some time to find their rhythm. I just hope we don't start out in a hole playing catch up all year.

Re: Michael Thomas Progress
 

That's not healthy, my friend. Sean Payton, Dennis Allen, and the rest of the organization moved on from that and it's no longer an issue with any of them. It seems some fans are the only ones hanging onto that. None of us know the whole story and most likely never will.

But, yes, I too am looking forward to the very best pair of hands in football being back out there.

Normally that's how I look at life. But he let me down. He didn't take my advice and then wouldn't return my calls. I feel like my buddy, that I trusted, stole something precious from me. I'm talking about last season.

But I get your point. When I went to the BNG this morning I actually felt better about MT. So, thanks Guido.

Re: Michael Thomas Progress

Re: Michael Thomas Progress
 

Sean Payton, Drew Brees and other players Thomas screwed over by his antics still hold a grudge. It’s likely why Payton left…he didn’t want to deal with the nonsense from Thomas and the Headache of Kamara’s pending suspension.
