More disappointed we lost a dynamic weapon. The whole damn saga is frustrating.

It would be my guess that Thomas had input on the decisions surrounding his toe just like he had input on his ankle surgery last time. BOTH the Saints medical staff AND Thomas come off looking bad on this.

I become more frustrated with this guy by the day! Get him healthy and trade him before he gets a hang nail and has to retire anyway!

It probably will.

I'd like to say this again... we need a complete overhaul of our strength and conditioning program. We need to modernize the way we train our players, how we handle their nutrition, etc.

It's probably just me but damn our Oschner Sports Medical staff just gives me bad vibes.

Same could be said for the Pelicans. Injury after injury after injury

Oschner were also the ones that misdiagnosed Delvin Breaux, and said his leg wasn't broken when it was.

As you say, bad vibes.

I’m disappointed that Mike’s season is probably over. But I feel worse for the player. From the outside looking in, I know CGM has to be hurting. He wants to compete and prove his doubters wrong. He wants to be mentioned amongst the best to ever play his position. Imagine going from a top 3 receiver in the league to potentially starting from scratch.
I feel his pain.

I wish Victor Cruz and Michael Thomas the best of luck on the golf course in the future. I am sure they would both love to contribute to our team in 2023. They seem like great people. Realistically Victor would be cheaper than Mike and I expect their 2023 contributions will be similar so if I had to choose I would go with Victor. He wants to prove his doubters wrong and the talent is all there.
