Michael Thomas needs to wise up, wake up and grow up — before it’s too late

New Orleans' All-Pro wide receiver is at a crossroads. How he responds could be a turning point in his career.

Yes, Jeff Duncan lolol. Yes, it's a paywall site.

But basically, along with the fight with CGJ, Mike talked back to coaches-including Sean Payton. He also yelled at team trainers for not taping his ankle properly and accused a staffer of going through his mail.

Mike better get right and fast.

Disturbing, if true.

He needs to start a meditation program. Mental health in these times is a challenge to keep up.

Its this part that has me most concerned.. sounds like mental health related stuff. Especially if the staffer didn't go through his mail, which I can't see why he/she would.

From his twitter days and other things you get a sense there are some potential issues simmering but they’ve never fully boiled over.

Guess he’s having trouble being on the sidelines.

he'll be gone

Money makes people crazy.

Uncle Keyshawn needs to give him another talking to.

The thing about receivers.......

The top playoff teams rarely ever have the top statistical receivers.

It is definitely not as important as other positions to winning football.

He's always been arrogant, but a lot of that was the cockiness that makes him so competitive and, thus, great on the playing field. This behavior, though, goes beyond arrogance to a kind of spoiled childishness. I agree that not playing has put him on edge, but he better start directing his energy more positively, or else he will undermine both himself and his team.

 

[Outbackjack]

A humble and hungry team-first Mike would be a wonderful addition.

 

[WhoDat?DrewDat]

Something about WR’s and being divas...

 

[RaginSaint93]

His true colors are starting to show

 

[Grumpy Old Manatee]

Wouldn't be the least bit surprised if "Uncle Keyshawn" is telling him to force his way out. While I don't think we'll be in full "rebuild mode" next season, I do think MT may be angling to move to a contender in a larger market.

I hope I'm wrong.

If it's any consolation, I am often wrong.

If he plays against the Panthers he might destroy their defense all by himself.
