It’s suck for the fans and it sucks for me personally. I’m working my ass off to get back in the game and I think things are going well. I want to be back for the team and the fans”.

Or say something like

“hey, I’ve got a chip on my shoulder now because of those who doubted me. I want to get back in there to prove everybody wrong that pointed out the time I’ve missed.

Or they can say 100 different other things too. Just food for thought.

Edit: either way I hope he plays and has a great year winning a lot of games with the Saints.

You still have doubt he'll play?

And I believe he has as good a chance of playing a full season as any other starting WR in the league. Pessimism versus optimism.

Optimism vs Probability.

In your biased opinion. You are going to believe what you wish to believe. So be it.

Do I truly believe they'll go 20-0? No. Of course not. It's never been done. But, I will always predict 20-0. That's not bias. It is optimism.

That said, if any bias does exist it's because the Saints are my team and have been since they came to my attention the Spring of 1967. I'll never belittle any player on my team. I save that for players on opposing teams. I'll never understand supposed fans that demean their own team's players.
