My Thoughts on Michael Thomas (just my opinion) (2 Viewers)

[los226]

I remember specifically during the offseason when MT was yelling at Carr about ball placement when he threw passes to him.

I remember the media asking Carr about it and he gave some general answer of everyone just wants to be great, but he also made a comment naming all the great receivers he’s worked with in the past. Basically saying that he wasn’t the problem because he could get all those great recievers the ball. He even stopped himself when he was naming players and said “let me stop saying names before people get their feelings hurt”.

Now after this season I clearly see a guy who’s entitled and thinks he’s more than he really is and that everything is everyone else’s fault.

It's strange to me that MT's biggest strength had always been catch radius and then to have him complain about placement. If it's out of range, don't catch it. If it's catchable, catch it.

Michael Thomas without a real leader to answer to is basically those cheesey hollywood movie scenes where a gun falls down stairs and shoots wildly on the way down.

He did, but it was Ceedy. Ceedy is still one of my favorite players in the NFL, but he can get under some skins and more than likely had it coming to him. And that's the in the building squabbles that happens in a game this physical.

I'm far more concerned with the veiled messages on social media about the team when he should have been supporting his teammates on the sideline. As a veteran, he could have been sideline coaching Olave or Shaheed with what he was seeing during the game, but instead he was being a fool on social media.

Also, instead of talking smack about DC on social media, he could’ve been on the sideline encouraging him with things like “hey man, look, when we run this route, place the ball here, it makes it easier to catch and puts us in better position”. Thats what a leader would do.

Seemed like he had a beef with Brandin Cooks. We shipped him off and I hated that move. He was our consistent big play threat and hasn’t seemed to be an issue on any teams since.

He made negative comments on social media about Drew’s arm strength.

He made negative comments towards Drew over him standing for the anthem.

He more recently went negative on many people on this current team during a game. Just plain stupid.

He is a warrior on the football field.

I won’t be sad to see us part ways with him. He didn’t appreciate what he had with Drew. He can’t get separation but Drew trusted him to come down with every ball thrown away from the defender. He will never find anyone to trust him like that again.

I'm sure most of us know it's just about time for a 2006 style house-cleaning. Michael Thomas needs to go ahead and be a part of that.

Seems like Jameis Winston of all people is the best at that, maybe of anyone on the roster.

He hasn't done anything in years...
How in the world can that be everybody's fault!

Carr didn't get MT hurt... injuries and time have just caught up with him.
Carr is 6th in the NFL in completion percentage!

That’s what you get when you throw 13 of 14 to Kamara for 33 yards. A whole lot of mediocrity and padded percentage stats.

This teams' problems go much deeper than Michael Thomas.

You have a Beta head coach, over a Beta OC, over a fake Alpha QB. That’s what’s happened.
You have a loose cannon Alpha WR in Thomas as the gun falling down the stairs (stolen imagery), a promising Alpha WR in Olave losing his confidence in himself and his team, Alpha Alvin saying everything that needs to be said if you read between the lines, and Alpha Cam not saying much because he’s old and a professional.
Hell in a hand basket. I side with the proven Alphas and my eyeballs.

I knew 9 years ago we were going to get to this very point with MT. Where his physical decline would outpace his humility.

Now being said, I have zero issue with what he's said about Carr...because somebody on Arline had to say what MT said since Allen was throwing bodies under the bus to protect Carr.

 

[EGLSShin]

I would be pretty miffed if my QB threw me into a MCL injury(per underhill)

I wish you'd find that interview because I don't remember that

It was Brooke and Trips talking about it before the season started.

No los226 said that DC said all those things in an interview, I've seem pretty much all of DC 's interviews and I don't remember him saying those things
