re: Without Michael Thomas, Saints are 7-9

Man sometimes you guys really throw me for a loop.

I feel like as saints fans, a lot of us imagined pairing Drew with a top flight All Pro wide receiver. Now that the Saints have one, and have had a ton of success with him as a key piece, we don’t want to acknowledge his importance?

Drew and MT elevate eachother. It’s not one way or the other. They both make eachother better. Just listen to the way Drew and Sean Payton talk about him. He works harder than anyone on the team in the offseason. He goes 110% in practice and it translates to him being all pro. On top of all that, he loves this team, and he loves New Orleans. It’s a perfect fit.

Sometimes it’s not all about the production, although MT certainly is productive.
Sean Payton talks about the “right 53” all the time, and bringing in the “right guys” that are smart, hardworking, people of character and integrity.

How could anyone possibly think that not having MT on the team isn’t anything but a tremendous loss???
Combine all of that with the fact that a year or two from now, 20 million is going to look like a solid deal for Michael Thomas, as the cap keeps going up and other receivers get new deals worth more.
