Re: Saints willing to consider Michael Thomas trade?

I would do it. Post Brees, I think its actually harder to develop a new franchise QB when you have an all pro receiver. For a QB like Brees, an All Pro receiver is a great asset. For a young QB, a receiver like Michael Thomas is a crutch that prevents them from developing and seeing the whole field. Teams with all pro type receivers rarely win it all, and young QBs who get such receivers too early rarely develop. Look at what Calvin Johnson did for Stafford, what Julio did for Matt Ryan, what OBJ, Andre Johnson, Larry Fitzgerald, etc did for the young QBS they worked with. Look at at what AJ Green did for Dalton. You want to do like the Saints, 49ers, Patriots, Colts, etc and bring in the great WR when the franchise QB has matured more and learned to see the whole field and not rely on one crutch.
