We would regret dumping Michael Thomas the way Atlanta regrets dumping Matt Ryan today.

Lots and lots of nfl careers of big stars have ended with chronic injury at many positions. None have recovered from injury over 40 of 50 games. Its just not gonna happen. Focus on your own heath. I am sure there are lots of precedents for people your age living long enough for a football rebuild, yet you insist on Mikes hopeless cause not your own hopeful one.

Don't worry about me. I plan to live well into my 90's. You should see that peering into your crystal ball. Yes, lots of NFL careers of big stars have come to an end because of chronic injuries. But, I haven't heard that the two totally unrelated injuries (left ankle and toe on right foot) suffered by Michael Thomas can be classified as "chronic". It has been stated many, many times before that the NFL is a 100% injury business. Every player is going to experience injuries at some point or other in their careers. Nobody besides the good Lord above has any clue as to when and/or how long they may last. Every indication is that Thomas is well underway on his recovery from this last surgery and there is no reason he won't be as unstoppable moving forward as he was in the first two games of this season prior to the unexpected injury.

Yet, I always want to win now. The economic structure being used by our front office gives us the best opportunity to remain relevant each and every year. I understand you have a differing opinion of how that should work, but fortunately it looks like nothing you can say or do will change that direction. Once we get by this stretch of bad injury luck and settle into a competent starting QB we should be challenging for the title again.
