Pass. Nothing he says nor anything anyone says about him means a bill of beans at this point. If he can and does play then great. Until then it’s smoke and mirrors.

90% of the video is about the rookie camp and gives good insight on all the rookies. Damned you are stubborn to a fault. It's fans like you that they address in their limited discussion concerning Thomas's work ethic. Those fans are going to believe what they want to believe and will ignore any and all meaningful and accurate insight. So be it. You are who you are and will continue to believe what you wish.

Moving on.

I’m stubborn because I say until he is back on the field then anything else is just talk? How is this a stubborn statement? Please enlighten me brown-noser.

I was talking about refusing to even watch a very informative video that is maybe 5% Thomas related and the rest talking about the rookies. That is stubborn. But, no skin off my back. You can stick your fingers in your ears when it gets to the 25:00 points and talks about Thomas.

Ok, but this all started with you posting a tweet from NOFA that was a short clip of a lady saying “MT is working out and if he comes back he could be good”. I was simply scoffing at that clip being of any real value.

Sorry if I didn’t feel like listening to a 25 minute video pertaining to his recovery. Proof will be if he is ready to play, not what this video says.

I have never pulled against Thomas despite what you think. It is simple fact he missed the final 13+ games last year and somewhere around 40 out of last 50 I believe. Any talk about his progress is total speculation until he steps back on the field. You call that stubborn but I call it realistic. What’s stubborn is to stick your fingers in your ear whenever anyone points out anything about Can’t Play Mike’s injuries and act like he’s been productive the last two seasons while also throwing shade on anyone who has a doubt. But like you say, that’s just my opinion. I hope he plays and is comeback POTY. I have my doubts. You are ignorant of the meaning of the words if you confuse doubt with Stubbornness

It isn't a 25 minute video pertaining to his recovery. It is a 32 minute video talking about the rookies at rookie camp. It is at the 25th minute of the video that they spend a couple of minutes or so talking Thomas and his commitment.

If you don't want to watch it, that's fine. You simply said, "Was she trying to be informing or insightful in someway? Honest question not trying to be a jerk." You questioned the short clip of Brooke so I simply pointed out the part of the video from which the 26 seconds was clipped to better understand the context of the clip. You said it was an honest question. Perhaps I misunderstood and shouldn't have shared the info.

Fair enough. But This thread is about Michael Thomas. The initial clip you posted that I responded to was only about MT. My comment was only about MT. Your response to my comment only mentioned the uninformed about MT.

It’s at post 65 where you FIRST bring up Rookies and call me stubborn. If you would have said anything about her covering rookies before that in the video it would be different. But you didn’t until then because this was a thread about Thomas. I Can’t see why you needed to insult me because I said the initial clip provided, and anything else she says regarding Thomas (not Rookies) is speculation until he actually plays.

Lmfao @ him calling you "stubborn to a fault." That might be the most stunning example of a total lack of self awareness I've ever witnessed.

I'm pretty stubborn too. Sometimes, I have to actually see it for myself before I'm willing to change my mind. No matter how many times people present me with relevant information I still feel the need to verify it with my own eyes. I've slowly come around to supporting Thomas but I was a hater too.

I'm willing to give other people time to do the same.
