One could make an argument that we're now similarly staffed in terms of above average/elite WRs and unknown/lesser known WRs. Of course, last year, MT was injured. OBJ was a late addition for the Lambs. OBJ spurned us, deservedly so. If Landry signs with us, we're better than the Lambs at the same WR position.

Eh, I still think the Rams would have the slight edge.

Kupp > Michael Thomas
Allen Robinson > Jarvis Landry
Van Jefferson < Chris Olave

FIFY.... Methinks you forgot just how good our brother "Can't Guard Mike" is.

TQS is supposedly an elite blocker. Could he put on some weight and move to guard? That way he could block without being expected to ever get open.

Guard? No. Maybe he could bulk up and be a FB ? 🤔

I would possibly agree with you if Thomas' game was based upon some incredible athletic ability like speed, but his strength comes from his precise route running, ability to read the defender, and his outstanding hands. I have every confidence the proof that you are needing to see will be readily available.

In ways he reminds me of Jerry Rice. Both have a great work ethic, desire, and great hands. Thomas had a pedestrian 40 time of 4.57. Rice was a well below average 4.71. I don't expect Thomas to have lost anything that made him great.

And he needs both ankles to accomplish all that, no?

I want to see how the 100 million dollar man moves after a year away.

He was still making those plays on the bad ankle. It appears I have more faith in modern medicine I suppose. Methinks you have more of an issue with the $100 million and what transpired than his ankle. Could there be a shade of truth to that?

You thinks wrong. I'm not insinuating anything.

Here's a recap:
- Back to back 1,00yd seasons with Drew Brees.
- September 2020 sprains ankle, misses four games
- Hamstring before he can return, misses two more games
- Plays six games, zero TDs
- Ankle causes him to miss the remainder of the regular season
- To his credit, gutted out two playoff games on a bad ankle (5 rec 1 TD)
- Surgery delayed until June, misses entire 2021 season

So here we are. A top 5 compensated WR coming off ankle surgery who hasn't played a game since January of 2021.

You're damned right I want to see how he moves on that ankle.

The most critical piece for me was the lack of communication with coaches, medical staff, and team physicians.

Return a phone call, let people know the status of your ankle/rehab and what not. Mrs. Benson is paying you a TON of money.

But who knows what's inside the minds of star athletes
