My Thoughts on Michael Thomas (just my opinion)

I want to take a moment to share some thoughts about Michael Thomas. In his rookie season, I was immediately impressed by his ability to catch every ball thrown his way, perfectly embodying his Twitter handle, @Cantguardmike. Thomas never aimed for mediocrity; he aspired to be a superstar, the Michael Jordan of the NFL.

Despite the setbacks due to injuries over the last three years, I noticed a resurgence in him this year, glimpses of the old Michael Thomas. Unfortunately, Derek Carr's tendency to throw dangerous passes led to Thomas getting injured. It's ironic, considering Thomas played a role in recruiting Carr.

The possibility of Thomas leaving New Orleans is a sore point, and much of the blame falls on Mickey Loomis. Had Andy Dalton been our QB, I believe Thomas would have had a far better season. Carr's lack of accuracy and field vision is concerning, especially for an organization that needs to retain competitors like Thomas.

Thomas is more than just a player; he's an alpha dog who instills accountability in the locker room and is a proven winner. His influence has undoubtedly contributed to the success of players like Shaheed and Olave. Losing him would signal a shift in the Saints' commitment to winning. If there's even a chance of Thomas wanting to leave, the team should do everything to retain him, even if it means overpaying. His value to the team transcends the field.

This was what he had posted on his instagram:

"What you permit, you promote. What you allow, you encourage. What you condone, you own. When your eyes don't work, you get people hurt, it's no mystery." I can't help but think that statement about eyes not working is referring to Derek Carr
