He's gotta a few years to catch up to Colston, our best receiver in franchise history...

He has 3 more contract years to prove his worth, so far so good.

One moment that stands out to me was the Seattle game. Richard Sherman tries to get into peoples heads every week, Thomas went head on with him and made Sherman whine like the little princess he is. He outmuscled Sherman at the line and was aggressive after the catch.

Would he rest on his laurels after a successful rookie season? I think not, he packs on 15 pounds of muscle and works tirelessly to cement himself as the number 1 WR.
Yeah man he wants to be great and then he goes out and walks the walk. The kid really is amazing and him and Drew are feeding off each other. He is something special.

Some indicators of a sophomore slump but not much. Snead will skim some of his targets just like MT did with Cooks, drawing the tier 1 CB every week and the run game. Good chance it shortens the field a little more with AP.

Anyway, that is my IMO. It won't be for lack of talent though.

Kamara is going to help open some things up too. With AP in the running game and Kamara catching passes I am really excited about our offense. Of course hinders on what the oline can do without Terron and how long until Unger is back and full on ready. If the oline can be a strength I am really excited about this offense. This might be the best offense we have had since '11

Beast,
One thing I've noticed during Sean Payton's tenure is that WR's just don't have much fall off ... if any. Coach Curtis Johnson has this covered. I'm not just saying this because I'm a B&G fan but the majority of the NFL should be terrified about the Sophomore surge Saints WR's have.

MT is on his way.

Re: Saints' Drew Brees, Michael Thomas not waiting for training camp

I wanted to back up stats on my previous post as it relates to sophomore surge ^^^ :

Marques C - 98 catches @ 1,202 & 11 TD's as a sophomore.
Meachem - best season of his career was a sophomore - 9 TD's/722 yards.
Devery - Devery's sophomore was CJ's first as a coach. He went from 22/343 & 3 TD's to 32/745 & 5 TD's (2006).
Cooks - he isn't a CJ guy but still ... 84 / 1,138 & 9TDs.
Jimmy Dickens - a mere 99 receptions 1,310 and 11 TD's as a sophomore.

Our receiving core is in good hands.

Bring it.
