Our fans have got to chill with the Michael Thomas hate. It’s one thing to say he’s injury-prone (and that’s probably fair), but to say he’s not a competitor and is purposely holding himself out is ludicrous. Many of our players have said that Mike is the most competitive player on the entire team.

Alvin wasn’t the only player that spoke up for Mike. Cam Jordan, Olave and others have echoed similar sentiments. We really have some of the worst fans around.

And for the billionth time, we aren’t and can’t trade Michael Thomas.

According to my Googles research and calculations, Thomas was paid $987,500 per catch this season. That’s why people are mad, rationally or not

All fans, especially on message boards, are like this. This isn't just a Saints thing

MT has never showed he didn't care when in the game, never given an interview acting like he didn't care. As I said in another thread, it sucks he got hurt, the injury is definitely worse than it sounds. Hopefully he heals up and can come back strong next season. Saying that, glad we have Olave for the future.

In the first 3 games of the season a not fully healed Thomas had 16 rec. and 3 tds. It is more than likely that MT got the 2nd injury from favoring that current injury. People who are highly motivated like him and Brady and Brees don't have issues with quitting and sitting on their arse, they have issues with NOT knowing when to quit.

Did you expect any of them to say otherwise?

Know how I know you're a sucker?

I think we have the worst medical staff around.
Probably a more accurate statement.

Our medical staff is absolutely terrible. They treat everyone like the boy in the plastic bubble, not letting them play through anything. Same with the Pelicans.

Need to clean house and get a less cautious staff.

There are many that post on ST that are very far from being Saints fans. They become very easy to spot after a few posts due to their incredibly low intelligence.

Football fans are some of the dullest knives in the drawer.

I guess most would have preferred we kept Brandin Cooks instead of MT???

Well he’s probably available. Any takers?

He wanted to play and suddenly less than a week later he’s too hurt to play for the rest of the season. Something doesn’t add up there.
