Rugby Saint II

I turned to my twin brother when we drafted Thomas and said that he was going to sell a lot of jerseys. Too bad he couldn't stay healthy. He was on pace for a shot at the HOF. Also, he didn't really become a Diva until after he got hurt and was still craving the attention.

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...

I don't believe Thomas will ever stay healthy again and I don't believe he is even so elite when healthy any more. I strongly wanted us to get out of his contract.

However, when he criticized Derek Carr, my opinion of him improved a lot. It showed he is not one of DA's microwave society chop wood guys. So even though he would likely contribute very little on the field, I would still rather move on from other expensive veterans first if the cap savings is the same. However, I predict that we will move on from Thomas and Kamara because they critized the status quo and we will keep other lousy vets because they are 'team chop wood.' Next time Carr needs to be criticized to wake up from the status quo there will be nobody on the team to do it, just a bunch of losers in the mold of DA and ML who believe .500 is excellence.

The fact is that the best thing Michael Thomas has done for the Saints in the past 4 years is publicly criticize Derek Carr.

Here we go ... again .

Michael Thomas Twitter rant proves he and Saints are done once and for all; Throws Carr under bus

I’d throw Carr, Carmichael, and Allen under the bus too. I wish the whole team would.

After watching Mahomes and Lamar this weekend, the thought of opening next season with Carr, makes me sick.

Alvin Kamara warned the reporters (Nick, Brooke and Triplette) months ago ...

I'm kinda over Carr, especially after his smart a$$ comments to Underhill & the lack of accountability when things went south for the team. Not what I expect to hear from a guy wearing the C (see Demario) on his jersey.

Saints have work to do. From top to bottom.

Is it time to rename Lamar Jackson, LaChoke Jackson? Is he the equivalent of Dak, Romo and others like them?

Still, Derek Carr couldn’t hold a candle to Lamar, Dak, Romo, and others like them. So there’s that.
