I'm genuinely curious as to this. Not trying to be a jerk or anything of the like.

"Ghosting the training staff and coach about an injury and costing yourself a season on the IR is something else." We were 1 win away from a playoff spot, the defense was healthy and really clicking, the O-line healthy... we could have done some damage. Having MT on the field at any point probably gives us that win or more.

As long as he comes back and balls out what else does he need to do? Would that "make up for it" for you?
Yeah, and be a good teammate without distractions.

Cool. We're definitely on the same page there.

Based on these 2019 stats, I'd say "slant man" is highly overrated. I don't know what other WR in the league is a more automatic 8 yards than MT. Maybe Devante Adams, Kupp perhaps?

It will be interesting to see how Mike is utilized in the offense with a QB that has a "stronger", more "lively" arm than Brees.

Hopefully it frees him up even more with a true down field threat at QB. Makes him even that much more dangerous.

Hopefully? No. It will. Because that's football. Maybe you should play some Madden and see how it works...
