Saints WR Michael Thomas is very sensitive

All Parker did was answer the question

He does have a point. 185 targets last season. Parker answer seems like a weird thing to get sensitive over

lol he mad

Thomas while elite, greatly benefits from super pass oriented New Orleans offense and arguably one of the most accurate passers in nfl history. Parker is a victim of terrible teams as a whole. Parker would put up major numbers with Brees as well

Parker shredding Gilmore in week 17 was a better single game performance than Thomas ever had. Only 'Reek shredds Gilmore like that.

Why is Parker picking a war with MT?

this guy is only in the top 10 because he plays with brees

typical diva wr attitude. sad!

WR version of Jimmy Graham.

Why would any current WR mess with Thomas over anything?

3 time pro bowler
2 time all pro
470 catchs
5517 yards
32 TD;s

in just 4 seasons, that is Jerry Rice type stuff. Hell, be right back....

I say.....yes sir and no sir...to a stud like Michael Thomas.

Jerry Rice first 4 seasons

264
4881
49

But....4 pro bowls/3 All Pro

That’s because you’re a weak bitch.

Dude, I toy with ya in the RR, here ya stay on topic, respect the OP.

How’s this? Michael Thomas is softer than Judy’s pussy lips for getting upset about Parker’s one letter answer to a tweet. You saying you would be all “yes sir, no sir” to him makes you a soft bitch.

RIP

Sorry guys as we can see this Lonewolf freak needs help.

What else would Parker have to base his decision off of? He's probably been guarded by Gilmore so he knows what it's like, he's never tried to break up a pass while guarding Michael Thomas, so he went with what he knew and Michael Thomas must have been stalking every NFL players twatter saying to himself "these sons a bitches better ****ing vote B or ima throw a fit!"

3...2...1...till some fantasy dweeb rides in in defense of Thomas

He might be a league wide star this year if Tua starts and goes off like I think he's going to. Parker, Williams & Grant could be a lethal trio with a elite arm targeting them. Add a TE the quality of Gesicki to the mix, and Miami is going to be a legit dark horse IF Tua goes off.

You got that backwards, diva Thomas is the one who chimed in after Parker answered someone else's question because Michelle didn't the response.

Tua Tebow...WINNER

Michael Thomas is the best WR in the game. The best one.

I just dont know if thats accurate. The only real receiving stud on the team that isnt coming out of the back field.

Best WR in the game?

Put me down for Julio Jones over Michael Thomas.

Michael Thomas benefits tremendously from playing in that offense. If he was somewhere else, he wouldn’t be putting up those numbers.

Hell, I’d take Tyreek over Thomas. He’s more of a mismatch than him and is harder to account for when he can be used so many different ways and both Sean Payton and Drew Brees agree that Tyreek is the most explosive player in the NFL.

Teddy ****ing Bridgewater threw to his ass most of last year. Michael Thomas almost 400 yards more than the next WR in yards and had 9 TDs. Tyreek benefits alot with Mahomes and our offense too. The same could be said. I think Tyreek is a Top 6 WR but I just think Thomas is a small bit ahead of him as an all around WR threat.

Without question in the debate.

No Tyreek hill the best wr in this planet.

Not accurate on Bridgewater. Teddy started 5 games, Brees started 11. Most of his time was with Brees throwing to him.

And he had FAR more targets than ANY receiver in the NFL last year. 185. The next closest guy was Julio Jones at 157 targets.

It's a hell of a lot easier to catch that many more balls than everyone else when you're being thrown to THAT many times.

And a LOT of them were short passes, which are typically a much higher catch %. It's not like he was averaging 14+ yards per catch like Julio, Chris Godwin or Devante Parker (3 others that finished in the Top 5 in yards along with Thomas). He averaged 11.6 per catch. That's a significant difference from 14+ yards.

Look I'm not saying he sucks. Obviously he doesn't. But to make the argument that he's the best WR in the game is simply based on the fact that he plays in an offense perfectly suited to his abilities, has Drew Brees throwing to him (one of the most, if not THE most, accurate QB in NFL history) and, most importantly, gets WAY more targets than any other NFL receiver.

I still think he's a Top 5 WR, I just think it's hard to make an argument for him being the BEST ("without question", as some have claimed in this thread) when you consider all the above factors.

I'm still taking Julio, Tyreek and a couple more over him if given the choice.

Good arguments here.

I'd probably take Julio, Hopkins, Tyreek and Mike Evans over him off the top of my head.

I’d take the Chief’s receivers with their rings.

Julio & Andre are better receivers imo. I.would take Thomas over Evans though.

Reek is better

Reek is gonna get the Steve Smith treatment his entire career. Just a phenomenal talent but isn't 6'1 or 6'2 so he can't be the best...

Lol, would still take Thomas over Cooper. Don't want my #1 WR not playing on the road because he's head soft.

Godwin ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL

Thomas isn't even the best WR in the NFC South.

I haven't really seen much from Godwin but he's always getting hyped? I think Diggs needs to prove himself in Buff. before people praise his namesake after a fluke TD in the playoffs. Tyreek is top three, Antonio Brown is an asterisk up there if he ever plays again.

Godwin is a legit stud, catches everything, blocks his ass off.

Godwin led the AFC in receiving yards last year.

He is so great he is leading the AFC in receiving while playing in the NFC! I'd say that makes him underrated!

He definitely seems nice, but that’s not the point. The 3rd best WR in the NFL he is not.

I don't see the big deal with this. I guess Michael Jordan is very sensitive too? Whatever these guys need to do to stay motivated I say go for it.

LOL What a royal **** up. I've brought shame to my family.

Apparently you don’t follow Michael Thomas on social media. He is the most sensitive athlete in all of sports, and that’s saying a lot. Dude is worse than Mayfield.

All Parker did was give a one letter answer to a question. How Michael Thomas found this to be a diss is beyond me.

Also, Michael Thomas is not Michael Jordan. And no, Jordan wouldn’t be this sensitive to feel the need to respond to something to silly on social media. He might go off in a game and bring it up later, but this was an emotionally charged response to nothing.

I see what you are saying but sometimes being sensitive can work in an athletes favor. If athletes constantly feel they are being disrespected they tend to try harder and feel like they have something to prove. I'd take that over the athletes who get a big contract and then magically start playing like shit.

I do agree that Twitter shit is a little ridiculous at times but whatever keeps people motivated is fine with me.

We don't know that

Seemed to me like you were trying to pass it off as fact.

Based on interviews he's given these days and his massive ego, he's the kind of guy who'd have a good chance of succumbing to Twitter fingers.

No, I’m fully aware that I can’t say that for a fact.

I’m a huge Bulls/Jordan fan though and I just know it’s not his style. He was an asshole and he could be petty, but he would do his talking on the court and privately. I don’t see him being the type to do it on social media. I mean it’s not like he doesn’t have social media and haters now.

Michael Thomas literally is good at running slants, because he has an accurate QB this nets him a ton of catches and yards.

If you have a CB that is capable of playing physical Thomas plays like garbage, Xavier Rhodes is a declining player who just had a bad year, he made Thomas his bitch in their playoff game.

I haven’t read Brees’s full comment, but I suspect that one small part has been clipped

More proof that professional athletes, or any reasonable adult, should never use Twitter. The whole website is like a million hipster millennial douchebags all vomited at once.

Thomas, Kamara and Sanders have all unfollowed Brees on twitter. How long before they trade Brees to the Pats?

Thomas is toeing a line. Some of his posts and retweets are going to get him in trouble. I saw a retweet a couple nights ago about killing cops.

They can go to hell, Brees is a legend for putting his money where his mouth is down there... guarantee you he’s done more to help poor minorities than all three of those asshats combined

I'm glad Brees has the balls to stand behind what he believes in. Rare these days.

That’s great. Except we both know that that isn’t going to fly in the times we are in now.

You can tell the flag felt very disrespected when NFL players kneeled. It looked visibly upset.

This is why the best move is always those bland PR statements.

I don’t see the issue. He didn’t say people shouldn’t be allowed to kneel. He only said that he didn’t agree with that as a form of protest and explained why.

When you protest, does everyone have to agree with you now?

Agreed. If I were a pro athlete, I would definitely have a prepared statement where I just fill in the blanks.

It’ll fly if the people he’s helped have his back, and if Benson doesn’t cave to the malcontents

The problem here is what Brees said came off as really tone deaf since the kneeling had jack shit to do with the flag or the military. He completely spun it into something it wasn't and that's what he's getting smacked around for by other athletes.

So you should only protest in ways that make no waves?

"Disrespecting the troops" seems like and extremely malleable and arbitrary standard to me. If kneeling, which Kaep specially said he was doing out of respect for the troops, is disrespectful to the troops or flag - then why isn't "Home of the CHIEFS"? Who makes these rules? Oh wait, I know who.

Better put your money on the Bucs to win that divison

When did anyone say that protests need to make no waves?


Your passive aggressive bullshit of ”Who makes the rules? Oh I know.” isn’t ****ing needed. You quit DC because it upsets you so much, so leave it the **** out of the lounge.

You either misread my comment or didn’t understand it.

I don’t see a reason to be offended by Brees’s comment. He didn’t say people have to protest a certain way. He simply said he disagreed with this method.

Is he not allowed to disagree with it?

Jim Brown says the samr thing. But he's black so its ok. Most won't kneel because its worthless to do and stupid.

Malcom Jenkins just ripped Drew Brees a new asshole.

That team is going to have problems this season.

Go **** yourself. It's passive aggressive because we're not supposed to post politics in the lounge - even in an obviously political thread like this.

My message was clear - it's complete BS that Kaep kneeling is deemed offensive enough to get right-wing idiots like you beside themselves with rage, while "home of the CHIEFS" is perfectly ok. It's completely arbitrary - and only happens because white people make the rules. Is that clear enough for you dickhead?

Yeah. Spoke in the past tense about being friends and having respect for him, then finished it off with a nice 'shut the **** up'.

Did he offer an alternative?

Is this really the message that needs to be sent right now? Why pick this battle, now of all times?

Drew should take them on a tour of all the homes he’s built for the impoverished minorities down there, then show them a statement from his accountant regarding all of his charity contributions

LMAO I don't think you trade the franchise.

I hear the forklifts coming to move the thread to DC

No, you worthless ****, you obviously can’t have a calm political discussion because you admitted yourself that you get way too emotional. That’s why your passive aggressive bleeding isn’t needed and political shit isn’t supposed to be in the lounge, as well. So change your tampon out, because toxic shock is real.



Then explain to me, how I was beside myself with the kneeling. You find a post of me bitching about the kneeling, with me beside myself from it. I will donate $100 to whatever cause you want, if you can’t find it you can donate the same amount to my pick.

**** off troll, this has been explained over and over to you. None of your assertions are accurate, and they say a lot more about you than those you try to smear.

Why not?

Brees is 41 years old and the Saints extended Taysom Hill this offseason.

They're not going to get a draft pick for Brees next season, so why not pick up an extra pick they can use in an effort to move up for one of the Big 3 in the 2021 draft?

It seems like a Win-Win for both franchises.

Next to Mahomie Brees might be the most popular player in the NFL. They don't want none of that smoke. Trade those soft bitches to Cleveland.
