I pray this is just an over abundance of caution and not the shape of the season to come. I'm pulling for him to blow up this season to silence the critics. But I'm a pragmatist. WR's with hammy issues tend to battle them long into the season.

I don’t think him blowing up is going to silence his critics leilung. Mostly because the critiques of him aren’t about his onfield production. They are more about his ghosting the team and screwing over Payton the last year he coached for the Saints It’s been about his attitude and actions, not his play. That’s my take.

I agree completely. Thus my "haters gonna hate" take. It's all personal and really has nothing to do with his play. Some people simply dislike Thomas for some reason and there's nothing he or anyone else can do to change that.

I can't understand it myself. He is such a nice, unassuming young man. As far away from being a diva as they come.

I didn't sound to me like it was anything Thomas was "battling". All Allen mentioned was he was excluded from practice because of a "little bit of a hamstring". He was one of about a dozen players that didn't practice for whatever reasons. One thing I've noticed this training camp is how much care and patience is being given to the most minor of issues. Also this whole "ramping up" process mentioned over and over again. I have a feeling this all stems back to the new Director of Sports Science, Dr. Matt Rhea. It sounds like they are addressing things before they can become issues and being smart about reintroducing the players back into practice.

It makes sense, especially with the key players and in the preseason. Just like it makes sense holding all key players out of these meaningless preseason games.

He’s paying a price for acting like an a$$.

What price? It surely doesn't bother him that some people cannot let something trivial go. Nor should it. I mean who cares? Why should it bother you so? Do you hold onto everything like this?

The price of having people criticize him. The price of having his reputation as one of the greatest WRs ever tarnished. It’s a topic of conversation. Like what people think their favorite movie is or a restaurant.
I have critiques of Sean Payton and I have critiques of Drew Brees. Guess what?…I don’t hate them. Nor do I hate Michael Thomas.
You seem to have some psychological issue about you that makes it impossible for you to accept that other people have different opinions than yours without you labeling them as “haters” or bragging about how in the know you are. Especially about Thomas. You are very antagonistic to other users.
