Blainorama5 Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Well, they do have a winning record without him, so not sure it's going to make much difference at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hjnick Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Dude is a head case. I think he just wanted to take a year off… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Process Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Right after the Winston injury? Dude probably realized Taysom Hill was going to be their QB the rest of the year and said naw I'm out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Might Rather Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 I've been stashing him on my FF bench all year hoping to have him for playoffs. I thought it was genius.... 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Payton is a brilliant coach I think Thomas would've been fine with their QB situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rigotz Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 My buddy is a big Saints fan and he said the Saints have been trying to offload him for months. "He doesn't ever want to play football again" is the general feeling and Saints are trying to salvage what they can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wjag Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 (edited) Something has been off about Michael Thomas from the get here. He must really not like the head coach or front office. Something I learned today that I did not know. MT is Give Me the Damn Ball's nephew. Splains a lot...

benderbender Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 A coworker is a Saints fan who seems to think that football was a means to an end for Thomas and that his huge contract left him less hungry for the game. Not sure how to fact check that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how to fact check that Maybe Michael Thomas = Marcel Dareus? They achieved what they were hoping to achieve by playing football.

Utah John Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 I think Jairus Byrd might be a better match than Marcel Dareus. Byrd had a couple of good years with the Bills, then signed a big FA contract with the Saints, and suddenly discovered he just didn't feel like playing -- but getting paid was another story. He was good at that part. Quote 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he just wanted to take a year off… He was dealing with an injury that he had last season. Not sure if it was poorly managed or just bad luck that it didn't heal in time. Saints still have been formidable without him all year but without him coming back and Jamis out it will be a challenge. 10 minutes ago, Utah John said: I think Jairus Byrd might be a better match than Marcel Dareus.

He was good at that part. I thought Byrd's issue was that he got hurt his first year in NOLA and was just never the same player along with getting banged up almost every year he played there. I wasn't aware of any effort issues with Byrd in NOLA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
