Saints released Michael Thomas per Duncan; Thomas & Winston are Post-June 1 cuts

Is a quarterback above criticism (HOF or not)?

Did Carr not call out his receivers this season (which caused MT to come to their defense)? So can a quarterback go after teammates, but others can’t go after them? What are the rules to this game?

I’m thankful for what MT did for the Saints while he was here, and I hate the current direction of this team, so I appreciate him shining a light on this dumpster fire on his way out.

Is it ok to publicly criticize the capability of your QB or organization to the public, after a playoff loss, during active personnel transition? Any reasonable, respectful person wouldn’t embarrass their QB, team or company to the public. Repeatedly. 5 times towards Brees, Carr and the FO.

Keep criticism within the organization’s building. Michael Thomas didn’t know how or refused to do so like any decent teammate. Thomas is the only player on the team, and apparently people who defend his unprofessionalism and teamkilling to death, who thinks it’s ok to publicly shat on the team because he had 1700 yard, 100+ reception years (with a HOF QB). We seen McCoy and Carr have a spat on the field but neither threw each other under the bus to the media postgame. Carr immediately took accountability for yelling at his WR on the field. Thomas never has for how his words affects the team. No one who’s team first, values team success and team chemistry behaves the way he does towards the team online.

He forced his way out because the writing’s on the wall that two younger WRs are more talented, valuable and reliable at this stage of all 3 of their careers. It doesn’t take Thomas throwing the team under the bus for even the team to know that team improvements needed to be made which was already planned and put in motion. Saints hired a very good OC while Thomas told the public that the Saints couldn’t as he criticized the team’s OC search like an outsider. Saints will move forward with a great young WR core and continue making improvements from behind closed doors. For the remainder of Thomas’ career, future suitors will likely offer incentive laden deals for Thomas to be a complimentary WR who will blow up at his QB and FO on twitter when his new teams start losing games and not throwing him the ball.
