Michael Thomas Come Home (2 Viewers)

[UFCSaint]

With DA gone, all he has standing in his way is Derek Carr, which, who knows if the players have his back.

Bring him back home.

I was going to just give a face palm but I saw all the clowns and didn't want to feel left out

NO

It was a bad throw. But a bad throw didn’t get Olave killed. A guy holding his arms down while another guy took a free shot is what about killed him.

I was talking about the 4th and 4 ball he threw I went back and watched that play sure he was feeling some pressure from the Right DE but if he held on for a second Juan had got past the coverage and the play was money for the 1st and quite a bit more yardage. With the season on the line you gotta step up in the pocket and make the play.

Yesterday I was watching Brady’s game and he was criticizing a QB for trying to do too much on a play that wasn’t of major significance and that being a good QB is being aware of what the situation your in calls for on that play. For Carr there, there was no tomorrow that was the game. Throwing up a prayer to a bracket covered hurt backup WR was a stupid decision. Sure they had the AK safety valve covered but Dam you gotta by some time step up in the pocket and look for something better than a low percentage prayer.

That was the dumb throw I was talking about.

As for the pass to Olave I saw nothing wrong with it. The defender was playing out of control and caused the injury it’s not like Carr led him into the hit. That injury was not Carr’s fault. The bonehead throw was a coward throw because he didn’t want to hang in and wait for the primary to open up.

If anyone believes that Michael Thomas can help this franchise, they are fooling themselves. No one else in the league wants him. When you start over, which is what I hope the Saints are doing, you don't bring back the past. He's a washed up malcontent. Not no, hell no.

I don't hate Carr like some do on here but I will call him out for some bone head throws. He has been making a habit out of that and it is frustrating to see that. Only needed 4 yards and a field goal to win the game.

Making a habit after 12 years in the league is kinda pushing it

Exactly, I was watching red zone when I heard Brady saying that so I am only half sure it was in the GB vs. Detroit game (I gotta admit watching red zone for 8 hours just makes your brain mush) but I just kept thinking about the 4th and 4 play we had.

I am not a giant Brady fan by any stretch but he does offer cool tidbits of info from time to time. The thing that separates a good QB from a poor one is you have to be situationally aware. There is a time to take a risk, a time to play it safe and a time to simply pick up a first down. Whatever you choose to do should fit your situation. That low percentage prayer Carr threw up was something you do on second down not 4th and 4 with the game/season on the line. The only justification maybe for it was he was thinking he saw PI or holding but even if that was just a stupid throw to make. He would have been better off running it, honestly. He might have not gotten it but he had more of a chance on that than the bonehead throw.

I like Carr I think he is a good guy. He has a lot of the tools to be good but sometimes the mental aspects of the game kind of slip with him. Take the I am gonna throw the ball away play in KC that instead of throwing it out of bounds he just throws in the direction of a (very similarly bracketed) double covered WR. Instead of a throwaway its an INT. That just shifted the momentum of that one and it was a simple throwaway.

Bottom line QB is somewhere we have to do something. Carr is a good bridge QB and nothing more. We need to find a true franchise QB. Sadly, I think we are going to be picking in the top 5 for a few years here we need to just start taking QB’s until we find one.

Watching us with Brees and what our life post Brees and moreover watching a lot of games league wide if you don’t have a great QB your going nowhere. Injuries happen it’s a fact of life a great QB is a guy that can make that 4th WR look like a game buster. If you have a crap line a good QB can make quick decisions and get the ball out that hides your flaws on the line.

Also on the original topic I retract my earlier statement Mike Thomas needs to stay on his couch. We are going nowhere this season or the next few we need to develop young guys we have in house or even go digging for young WR’s that are available. Young developmental players should become a mantra.

We are officially in new territory now so it’s time to start behaving like it. This is going to be a long hard road back up the mountain.

I’m willing to bet MT is talking with Saints players. The Carr tweets were a give away yesterday. Not all the players like Carr.

 

[SuperSaint]

This has to be a troll.

 

[JPSaints87]

As much as I want this team to finish with a winning season, Michael Thomas is not the answer. Let's be honest here, I think he blacklisted himself from the NFL. MT is not as bad as Antonio Brown. However, at the same time, his actions over past the 2 seasons almost put him underneath AB. If they make any sense?

 

[Scorpius the Allfather]

The locker room is falling apart regardless if he comes in or not, so what’s the worst that can happen.

Shut your mouth!

 

[Scorpius the Allfather]

I think it is more possible after his tweets yesterday. Look 2 weeks ago I would have said this is nuts today.... not at all. Bring him in try him out shake the whole dang thing up.

Make Carr feel uncomfortable he should after his stupid throw yesterday and if Mike can hold him accountable good.

What we were doing isn't working so lets shake the whole ant farm up and start over.

His throw was not a hospital ball. There was about 3 yards or more separating him from the guy that has a history of cheap shots on players. There's a picture online showing the point when the ball hit his hands and where that guy was and that's not a hospital ball my friend.

 

[SweetT]

Love me some MT, but as long as there is animosity between him and DC4, it will never ever happen. Better to not even think about it

 

[Cajun Mike]

No, if he didn’t catch on with another team is either his injury issues or his mouth! No primadonnas
