Derek Carr on Michael Thomas’ tweets

I'm all for the Saints dumping Michael Thomas in this offseason, its a marriage that should have ended a season ago. He is a guy that probably will never play a full season again at this point. However, Derek Carr needs to be better and that process better start now. No more becoming Joe Montana in garbage time or being the Emperor of Empty yards. He needs to play well from start to finish and play a heck of a lot better vs the good teams on the schedule from start to finish. He made a lot of frustrating boneheaded plays in his 1st season. You can't miss wideopen guys and throw into triple coverage. You can't get happy feet and check the ball down when the pocket is relatively clean and you're seeing ghost defenders on the field.

You're being paid well, you've been given a 2nd chance to BE THE GUY of another franchise. You can't come out next season looking like that. The stats are just the stats, in games when it mattered, you didn't play well until garbage time and that padded those stats. He didn't play well in many critical moments during the season and you can't blame it all on other guys. There were some serious head scratchers on certain plays.
