99.9 % of us ...

It's been a while.

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

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

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...

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.

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.

I'd agree with that if Brees was playing.

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.

LOL! Just because you hold a grudge doesn't mean others do. Michael Thomas shared his love for Payton and Payton in return when Sean retired in a Twitter back and forth. Thomas and Brees did the same. Garner-Johnson, the player that provoked him in practice, and Thomas have also shown clear signs that they too are close. They even called each other "twin", which rezburna pointed out is extremely high praise that isn't just thrown out there casually.

Also, Payton was already seriously considering retirement well before the Kamara issue. Jay Glazer, Payton's close friend, said that Payton was showing signs wanting to shut it down prior to the 2020 season.

Why is it so hard to understand that most people do not hold onto minor differences like that? It is basic human nature to forgive and forget.
