The locker room is lost. How many different ways does Kamara have to tell (coaching) it to the media every week?

Hire a YOUNG, hungry, innovative head coach. You’re gonna need a talented QB, so draft one. Derek Carr will never be “it”. Merely a 2 year bridge.

Take your lumps in 2024 because the NFC south will be terrible next year.

Make the moves and be ready to compete in 2025.

Sadly, we’re going to be watching OTHER TEAMS play championship football, or at least, decent, well coached and inspired football through this holiday season (again), and possibly deep into the future, while our team does a train wreck in slow motion.

What an expensive way to go from cleats to tweets to deletes.
The rest of us have to work for a living, and watch other teams play real football on the weekend.

Real Teams ? Sorry, the League being in bed with Gambling Industry makes every "game outcome" suspect.

I started this post to provide yet another example of why the franchise needs a new head coach.

When Thomas is willing and bold enough to "tweet" to some reporters tweet, basically co-signing calling out Carr & to a certain extent Olave ... huge problem.

Stuff like this should remain in house & not to the public.

All this says in my eyes is that he has 0 lack of fear of consequences. Why ? Because the Saints have a substitute trying to lead the class.

Most players won't say it, but they don't respect Mr. Allen as an authority figure. Hence the name, substitute teacher.

Anyhow, I'm on to Carolina.

I stopped liking Thomas when he threw Drew under the bus! You don't call out differences of opinion of that scale on social media. His uncle, Keyshawn Johnson, also turned out to be a diva. Classless move!

2023 Derek Carr before being called out by Michael Thomas: 12 games, 5-7 record, QB rating 5 of 12 games 100+, 3 games 80-100, 4 games under 80.

2023 Derek Carr after being called out by Michael Thomas: 4 games, 3-1 record, QB rating 3 of 4 games 100+, 1 game 80-100, 0 games under 80.

Conclusion: Michael Thomas had every right to call out Derek Carr, Carr's performance needed to improve, telling him so was constructive criticism, and Carr should thank Michael Thomas for helping him to be better.

It's all fine and good to call MT13 classless and say it was inappropriate and he should keep criticism in house, but the numbers speak for themselves. Blowing pixie dust up Carr's ass and telling him he could fly was not working. Calling him out worked. Maybe others should try it when he struggles and when others struggle. Olave is playing better too.

should've cutbait with the JAG; Prima Donna; MT 13 - 3years ago. Said it then, and now. He contributed absolutely ZERO to the Saints, since he got a bobo on his toe... :beatnik:
