Can't Guard Mike

You can’t guard Mike but his ankle brace has been all over him. He’s done as a saint

He was fully recovered from the ankle before last season. It was the toe of the opposite leg that had surgery last season. I guess your joke fell as incomplete as Dalton's throw to a wide open receiver.

Dalton would have had to throw to the bench or the sauna to hit an open mike, and that wouldn't even be a football, just cash. That's no joke.

You wonder why Michael Thomas doesn't trust the Saints medical team? If JP was still around he'd have a few things to say about that crew.

Can't solely pin it on the Saints.

Did the Saints condone his temp digs in L.A. at $60k per month with his separate circle of doctors? Did that make a difference?

Did Drew trust the Saints doctors? Was Brees ever out for going on three years after an injury?

This little piggy went to market. That little piggy went home. None of the little piggies went to 40 of the last 50 games. Michael Thomas has some eccentricities, as do most successful receivers, but the issue is he can't stay healthy, and there is virtually no precedent for a player being injured this much for this long and becoming reliable again. At best he is a JJ Watt or Jimmy Garappalo of receivers, at worst he is a Jahvid Best or Chad Pennington of receivers. Either way it would be foolish for a team that is not close to a ring to pay big money for highly risky depth at WR when we have two good young receivers and need to clean up our cap and get younger elsewhere on the roster. As he is now, Thomas is not worth more than $6-8 million a year as a lottery ticket.

Yup. That was the misdiagnoses I believe on Thomas. Rumors were the Saints doctors said it was turf toe, which as most informed people know can be serious in itself, but it was actually a dislocation which can be far more serious.
