If we could just have our Starting core...

Unreal.

I pay Taysom a complement and you spin it back around that I would call him that if he were injured. You are something else.
First of all Speedo, you don't know what I'm thinking and you damn sure don't know if Michael Thomas is a Pu$$ or not. So don't act like you know him and every person on the team or their motives. And you damn sure don't know me.

I see you had a little trouble understanding the irony of your statement. Yes, you complimented Taysom, as well you should. Then you turn around and call another great player a Pu$$y because he unfortunately suffers an injury. I simply pointed out the irony that you failed to call Taysom a Pu$$y when he likewise missed time due to injury. At no point did I say you WOULD call Taysom a Pu$$y. Quite the contrary. I was pointing out that you DIDN'T and mostly likely WOULDN'T call Taysom a Pu$$y under the exact same circumstances. And, no, I don't know what you are thinking. I only know what you are posting and addressed that alone.

Have a nice day!

Who Dat! 18-3 Baby!

This is where fans get out of hand. Guido is right. Injuries are injuries and they happen to everyone. If he could play I'm pretty sure he'd be playing. He played injured for Drew Brees and lost a significant portion of his career. I know many on this board don't like Michael Thomas because he dared to challenge Brees on a statement he made, but dude ain't a "*****". Let's be honest, who would stand in front of his face alone in a room and call him that?

Maybe Michael Thomas is a humanitarian. Maybe he will spend the rest of his life building houses for people displaced by disasters. But maybe playing hurt or whatever didn't take one year off his career, maybe it took all the years remaining off his career.

He played hurt for Brees, but then he ghosted the team in the offseason and delayed surgery until the start of the year, then he had a setback, then he had a whole second offseason to recover, then he came to training came not yet recovered, then he got on the field and had more setbacks and missed most of camp, then he suited up for the opener, then he has had a series of injuries and setbacks since then. Sometimes the body breaks down before its expiration date. Sometimes a person loses the drive to give 100% after they already gave 200% and it wasn't enough and they got their money. Whatever it is, a reasonable person has to accept the considerable possibility that Michael Thomas is done for. That his future is playing golf with Terrelle Pryor, LeCharles Bentley, Jahvid Best, Andrew Luck, Dez Bryant, and company. He is young. This should be his prime. But some injuries don't go away. And if all the injuries did suddenly go away, you would still have the player who ghosted the head coach for an offseason fresh off a big contract, posted cryptic tweets, and got in fights with teammates. Younger players have been traded to the Eagles for a 5th over less.

You don't know what happened. Why do you all present your OPINIONS as absolute regarding Thomas and the team? You stated no facts. He got injured played through injury reaggravated the injury and now he's back. You talk his doctors? Did you talk to the Saints doctor? Did you talk to MT? Or did you read random "Saints Insider" outlets and went with media stories because they fit your bias surrounding MT?

Agreed. And I'm one that hated what he said about Brees.

Truth is, Thomas was breaking records before he got hurt. He comes across as a guy that would want to keep breaking records and cement his name as one of the best WR's that ever played in the NFL. Our bodies can only take so much wear and tear before we just can't go out and keep taking the punishment.

I guess it comes down to what your definition of a pu$$y is… 🤔

Kinda off topic but didn't want to start a new thread but I see the Panthers have FIRED Matt Rhule.

He was terrible (11-27).
