re: MT13 is the greatest WR Saints have ever had

He is the greatest without a doubt in my mind. Will be the best receiver in the game if he stays healthy.

Had a great conversation with Saints receiver Michael Thomas on Sunday night, following another huge performance—his breakthrough this September has been downright Mahomesian. Thomas had another 10 catches for 129 yards in New Orleans’ scintillating 43-37 overtime win in Atlanta over the archrival Falcons. That puts Thomas—Keyshawn Johnson’s nephew—on pace for 202 catches, 2,122 yards and 16 touchdowns. Which would be noteworthy. Interesting thing was, as we talked, he kept attributing his success to the guy throwing him the ball. “I have a lot of respect for him as a quarterback,” Thomas said of Drew Brees. “I feel like he doesn’t get the respect he deserves. I feel like I’ve been brought here to send him out the right way, and that’s what I want to do, getting him to that championship, play at a high level every week like he does. I’m trying to match him. He has all these records, he doesn’t make many mistakes, and he’s throwing it to me—we should make the play.” Brees, by the way, needs 417 yards to surpass Peyton Manning for No. 1 on the all-time passing yardage list.
