Is Michael Thomas back? Damn straight he's back!

It all depends on what is meant by “back”. It’s great that Michael Thomas is back to playing. I hope he stays healthy all season and has a great year. That being said, here’s a link to his stats:

To say that Michael Thomas is back to the type of production that he used to have before his injuries is not true. Here’s hoping he gets there.

He's absolutely back. The only difference is he has help in Olave and Shaheed when three years ago he was the only option. When Underhill says he is absolutely back he's not talking numbers, he's talking ability, the way he looks on the field, the way move and runs his routes, the way he catches the ball. He's back to making the same plays as before, but not being required to make as many.

I hope to hell his numbers are never forced to be what they were in 2019, but I have no doubt they could be if, God forbid, we lost Olave and/or Shaheed.

Who Dat!

I don't have to tell myself anything. I simply listen to the people that know what they are talking about.

I just want to appreciate the miracle that in a week where Christian McCaffery, Jimmy Garoppolo, and Marcus Davenport were all injured in their games, and Andrus Peat sat out with an injury sustained in training days before the game, while Terron Armstead sits on IR, that Michael Thomas has somehow been healthy all year. It's not that predictably injured players don't get predictably injured, but so far we have the outlier. The rest of the cast of ER seem to be reprising their roles for this season.

I'll be the first to admit Michael Thomas is playing well this season, post injury.

He may not have the eye popping stats, but he's catching everything in his zip code. The one guy you know is going to make the contested catch ... every time.

Really a shame our offense (Pete Carmichael) is still in this funk because we do not lack the talent at WR. I'd bench Kirkwood (in favor of AT Perry) though. All I see Kirk doing is getting flagged for holding penalties & killing drives.
