I'm hearing more negativity here related to what is perceived as a diva attitude than what he can do.

Got a question. What exactly, and I mean exactly, has Michael Thomas done that can be clearly labeled as a diva type act? Not saying anyone's lying, but I'm just having trouble identifying those clear diva moments.

I'm not sure why "having concerns" = hate

You and I started jousting about the same thing in the thread above. You continue again with a new thread and you act like anyone that doesn't share the same sentiment is off their rocker. Continue on with your mancrush, but it is obvious not everyone shares in your positivity, face it.

Again, if by some miracle he returns to form without Brees at the helm, I will gladly eat a big plate of crow.

Re: Michael Thomas Progress

We need him back and healthy. The two reasons he was ever upset in the first place are gone and he seems to be in a far better head space because of it. I just wanna win a Super Bowl and I don’t believe we can do it this year without him.

While there isn't a lot of coverage on the Saints nationally, players turned analysts like Marcus Spears and Dan Orlovsky have been pretty consistent this offseason saying watch out for the Saints in the NFC.

National media drives eyeballs and clicks by questioning what they see. The question they ask about the Saints is whether or not Winston is the Winston from Tampa Bay 3 years ago, the Winston in the first 7 games of last year, or possibly something else. What the media is consistent about is that they will question, and question, and question until you actually deliver. And then they will start questioning again right after that.

You could see this in the past few weeks and this week with the NBA. The drumbeat question was "Will Steph Curry be considered an all time great if he wins a 4th championship and finally wins the Finals MVP?" this question was asked each and every day. It comes to pass on Thursday. The question on Friday?: "Can the Warriors repeat as champions and can Curry win another MVP?"

It's just how their producers operate. Frankly, it gets old after a while. But it is the reason the questions in the NFC are always "Can Dak and the Cowboys...?" "Can Arod and Green Bay...?" "Can Brady do it again?" "Can Philly climb the mountain again?"

The Saints used to be on that list with Brees because of the 2009 SB Win. But Winston is promise unfulfilled with the nation media. So, they will continue to question until that question is answered.

It's always best to just ignore it. I generally just treat it as background noise in the mornings...

SFIAH

Super Bowl Championships: New Orleans Saints:1, Carolina:0, Atlanta Chokers: STILL ZERO

Only Atlanta choked in an unchokable situation... Life is definitely good.

Once again Guido, there is no hate, just a deep lack of respect and disappointment for a man who gladly cashed his checks but refused proper medical treatment and advice from professionals thinking he knew more than science. It's not that I hate the man but I hate what he did to the team.

And before you counter let me remind you that he was paid to be on the field and he poorly chose to go with advice outside the team Dr's, which I don't hold against him. I just wish that he had made at least one good decision between not getting the advised treatment or at least answering the damn phone.

He is not a team player and anyone who played team sports known the importance of being a willing member of the team. I don't hate him but I seriously dislike him. I don't hate Eli Apple either but I put them in the same class. They don't deserve the support of the Saints and their fans. I understand your undying support of Saints players but "Come on Man." He is not the same team player I grew to love. He may be the same player, and I hope he is, but I'll never look at him the same. He's been a detriment to to the Saints lately and I will not forgive him. I will never like him again even if he produces top numbers again.

He reminds Me of Steve Smith who hit his team mate when he wasn't looking and broke his jaw. I don't think he ever played again, although I could be wrong about that, but I'm definitely right about Thomas being a Diva jerk.
