I think now that "He plays..." is code for having a full, healthy, productive season. Mike was on the field at the beginning of last season. Unfortunately, it didn't last. The hope is that he will be out there for all of 2023.

EDIT: Finished reading the rest of the thread. I see I was a bit slow on the draw here...

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.

Whatever you wish. It's just not my way of thinking. The Saints are my family and I'll always support my family. Every single member of my family.

I must say, however, I am impressed that you have never made an error in judgement your whole life and have never suffered any calamities that have interfered with your abilities. I will admit that I am flawed and have experienced both. I'm in no position to judge others.

I never said that did I you condescending ass? I made plenty of mistakes and guess what; my father and mother (who loved and supported me till the day she died) corrected me, and helped me to learn from my mistakes and be a better person. They didn’t show “bias” and act like I had no faults as you advocate. They taught me responsibility for my actions and work ethic…things that appears to be foreign concepts to you. I guess that’s your parents fault for not teaching you better. I see now that’s why you are a lying jerk.

Yet you cannot look past an error in judgement from 26 year old young man? My parents taught me better. They also taught me to control my temper.

At least I didn't lie about Kamara kicking someone while trying to demean him with an inaccurate joke. Talk about condescending. Nor did I resort to repetitive name calling. Just saying, my friend.

Well, that’s something we have in common as I said nothing false.

Wow! A whole page of you two arguing. I thought I was on SR for a moment. For crying out loud, stop calling each other out and just let this die down! It's getting old fast.

Rugby, in post #257 of this thread is where he first replied and disagreed with me directly in a point I was talking to rez about. You think it’s getting old think how I feel having him dog me. You want it stopped, deal with him.

Did have any issues with anyone else while he was in his trip? Has he not run multiple users from this site? I’m gonna stick up myself as long as he pokes at me.
