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.

I’ll stick with living in the real world and still pulling for the Saints every bit as much as you do. Pointing out a player’s shortcomings does not mean you aren’t supporting a team. In fact it shows more support because it allows for recognizing deficiencies and areas that need improvement in both players, and the team. For example In no way am I knocking the Saints by saying I think they’re better with Carr as QB than Winston as QB. One could accuse me of “demeaning Winston “ when I say this but others could see it as looking to improving the team I support.
Likewise, pointing out that Thomas has missed significant time over the past three seasons and could easily again is not demeaning the player. It’s pointing out simple facts. It also does not take away my support for the Saints.
I’ll say a similar thing about Kamara. I wholeheartedly disapprove of the actions he got into in Vegas. I feel it is a mark against his character. That doesn’t mean it makes my supported the Saints any less.
