Michael Thomas deletes account after criticism for insensitive comment about Derek Carr’s injury

I've been thinking a bit more about this. Thomas' comments aren't coming in a vacuum.

Thomas made some of his own mistakes regarding Ankle-gate, but I'm convinced the front office made just as many and probably more over the previous years. So Mike tries to put it behind him, become a better teammate and leader, only in recent weeks to see Carr's inaccuracy directly lead to injury to himself, Shaheed and Olave in a very short timeframe. And Carr is untouchable and protected by the coaches and FO.

Why would he fear retribution? The organization has not made one major change all season. They can't even cut their bust draft pick Penning. Not a fan of doing things via Twitter, but putting myself in Mike's shoes I can certainly see where the apathy is coming from.
