It was written for every physical therapist within 100 miles of New Orleans.

Arguably some of the best hands in the biz. If it was in his zip code and he could get a finger on it, he generally was money to bring it in... held onto it pretty well in coverage too. Pissed off a lot of DB's around the league.

Just praying that we get to see some of that for a season in '23.

If Thomas can be healthy and effective on all the underneath stuff and we get one of the TEs to really break out (JJ I'm looking at you) then Olave and Shaheed should be able to take the top off.
All of a sudden that opens up loads of posibilities, makes it much harder for defences to try and make us one dimensional. Running lanes should be easier to get by.
I really really hope he is past his injury problems now, our O would be so much better for it.

We saw exactly that in the first two games last season before the second completely unrelated fluke injury with the three contested TD's. I honestly see no reason why he wouldn't still have those abilities. Even if one would claim his injuries would hamper him in some way, which I don't believe, they would have to know it wouldn't affect his eyes, his hands, and his strength. That's what makes him so great.

This could easily be the quote of the day. MT could bring things together nicely this year. They will have to double Thomas or Olave which leaves the rest of the WR's, TE's and RB's to do the damage to their defense. Pick your poison!

Re: Michael Thomas agrees to restructured contract
 
Till Mike got the big contract I was a fan. He was intense, loyal, determined...all the things you want in a teammate and team hero. Put up phenomenal numbers and put on phenomenal performances. Then he got paid...and hurt. That's when it felt like he became a Diva. His attitude seemed in a minor way to reflect his uncle (at least to me). Admitting that all facts are not known to me I will not say he faked or exaggerated his injuries but at times it felt like it. These things brought criticism from some.
Now it appears he has found his way back to his old attitude. Maybe he never lost it. Most of us will never know. Mike at his best was truly phenomenal, hopefully we get to see his best of whatever he's got left. Personally optimistic. Show us Mike! Make us Proud!
