Thought this video did a good job explaining the injury, if this is the issue of course:

Must be the wrong video ... this doctor didn't mention his torn vagina.

TLDR; he's still an injury prone, overpriced diva

Is that the best you've got? That's a powerful argument you've got going.

Regardless, people are tired of him sucking up 10% of the cap and never suiting up. He could have had his leg removed for all they care. People expect him to suit up if he's being paid.

Why do y'all have a problem with fans who support them team, having an emoji issue with a "star" player eating up the salary cap and never playing?

If you signed a contract for the year with a lawn service company and they called you and said " I hurt my toe, can't do my job this year but thanks for the money"

Next year they call and say " can't do my job this year, hurt my ankle, went against doctors advice and now require surgery, best luck finding someone to fill in but again thanks for the money"

Would you not get rid of them or bust your arse trying to figure how to get rid of them? If any man answers no, good luck because you require an upgrade to even make it to beta male lol

Contracts are way different baw Players have those contracts built in, most never play more than 4 years. A star player (most players period) will not play unless there is guaranteed money. Someone can mow your yard for 30 years, an nfl player isn’t gonna last long overall, they have to protect themselves.


It sucks, and retarded what MT did last year not following advice, don’t know all the details about how it went down this year but if he’s truly hurt it is what it is. I doubt he doesn’t care, nfl players get hurt, sucks. Friend of mine played with Jairus Byrd, contrary to what fans thought he was devastated about what happened with the Saints

The only thing I could get out of that was, in a few years Thomas's contract expires and we get cap space.

Whatever it is that you are getting at, there has been enough unfortunate things that have happened up to this point already.

Just go back to that stupid arse no call in the Rams game that robbed us out of a super bowl appearance

The next couple of seasons yeah we were good record-wise but then didn't even win a playoff game in both times got beaten at home against teams that we should have beaten especially Tampa since we'd already beaten them twice that year

Brees and Payton are gone.

Now Mike T's future could be in serious Jeopardy for all we know.

So whether it's somebody flying off the handle and melting down or somebody sitting up there on their high horse it still sucks

yal are bitching about him not 'wanting to play', which is far from the truth.

because that's comparing apples to oranges.

so now his foot problem, which he's getting surgery for, is the same situation as his ankle? complaining that he's injury prone is one thing, complaining that he's packing his bags to eat money is another. yes it sucks he's not playing. yes it sucks that he's injury prone now.

tough talk. financially you'd realize you can't get rid of him til next year at the soonest. getting rid of him now is literally just taking a gun and shooting yourself in the foot, because you actually lose MORE money now doing so.

I'm assuming that you are saying that it's kind of a shitty take for a lot of the fans to call him a pussy and a thief for not playing injured particularly when they don't have all the facts. Thomas fricked up originally and I'm kind of surprised that they didn't find him in breach of his contract( I guess they figured it wouldn't be of any benefit to pursue) however they moved on and now these fans expect him to play on these other injuries or he's a pussy? WTF! If he injures himself far worse they would be the first to point the finger at someone else.

This entire situation is frustrating. I'm as frustrated as anyone with Thomas's repeated injuries, but the fan sentiment that he's essentially sitting back and taking it easy when he could be playing is just retarded. The fact that the "sandy/injured vagina," thief, etc comments just litter every thread on this board make it even worse.

Fans need to look up Deion Sanders talking about this same injury and how it was the worst thing he's ever felt, and how he had to have two toes amputated because of it, then report back. The fans on this board are legit retarded/childish.

Brian Robinson was shot in the knee, but the bullet missed all major areas

Garofolo says he was actually shot in the knee, but it missed all the major areas. The bullet did not hit bone, tendons, or ligaments. It went through his knee and didn’t cause massive damage.

You must have missed this part of the story. Brings a little more perspective into your narrative.

They didn't miss it, just refuse to acknowledge it. Like I said in another thread, the comparisons need to stop. The injuries couldn't be any more different. Initially Robinsons injury was more serious, obviously, but Thomas's is longer lasting, to potentially effecting his way of life for the rest of his life if he doesn't get it fixed.
