Complete BS. I truly hope our new additions are much more hungry than MT after his payday.

Not BS at all. One of the most recognized attributes of Michael Thomas was always his passion and drive. Your complaints about some lack of hunger coincide perfectly with the freak injury sustained in the first game of the 2020 season against the Bucs. Up to that point he was arguably the best WR in the game. He showed enough hunger to play through that injury when he should have been shut down.

You just sound resentful that he got paid. From all indications he has been working his ass off to get ready for the 2022 season after having to undergo a second surgery this past November. His salary is a bargain as compared to the new deals all the other top WR's are receiving. I really don't get the whole lack of hunger claim.

I don't resent it begrudge anyone a payday, nor does his money personally impact me in any sort of way.

Since the injury, there has been no lack of Diva like behavior.

We both have opinions of MT and will have to agree to disagree.

Hopefully, he will return this year and we will see how his career flourishes without Drew. If he has a return to form, I will gladly change my opinion. I would absolutely love to be wrong about him, but at this point he is a very distant highlight reel.
