If everyone is healthy and accepts their roles, the Saints could be hard to stop.

Brees didn’t get Thomas paid. Thomas is really like that. We could see it from Day One when he first hit the field. Brees couldn’t feed anybody else in his tenure with the Saints to record breaking numbers. Not Marques Colston. Not Jimmy Graham. Not Brandin Cooks. I get that’s it’s the cool thing now to pile on Thomas but he and Brees were an asset to each other. If we aren’t going to say Jerry Rice was great because Joe Montana and Steve Young were feeding him then let’s not say it about Thomas either. His contested catch ability is ridiculous.
