As a Saints fan, it sucks the No call happened. All the older players on the team are leaving or aren’t in their prime anymore. They would’ve had a chance to compete for a SuperBowl, but they may never get that chance again. About MT dude was our best WR in Saints history, talent wise, and he was on a Hall of Fame trajectory if the injuries didn’t happen. Another thing people don’t understand, is he played in the playoffs on Drew’s last year against the Bucs injured, but he did that to try to get Drew his second ring. He knew it could damage his career but he wanted Drew to go out as a champion again. I will always have respect for him for doing that. Dude was a leader and great mentor for the team and I honestly think he would’ve resigned to the Saints, if DA wasn’t here. Now I will say the medical team didn’t help at all, for years every Saints fan would tell you how horrible they have been. One injury that he had was misdiagnosed and is the reason way he is injury prone. He wasn’t lying about the medical staff on his way out. If they treated that injury I highly doubt his body would be as broken as it is now. I could say the same for a lot of the players that played for the team. Oschner’s been kinda mid on the Saints staff. As a patient of them, I’ve been good, but the players haven’t. Overall I hope he contributes to a contender and wins a championship. I will always route for him, unless he goes to the Falcons lol
All that is true and that "NOLA No Call" did us in for the foreseeable future and we haven't recoved since. MT was on his way to a historically great career, but playing through that injury has costed him. But I have a lot of respect for him. Also I had neck surgery at Ochsner and several family members have been treated by them so I know that they have been great. But I don't know why they haven't been good for the Saints or Pelicans for that matter.

For me, being a Saints fan, was when in 21' he didn't have his ankle surgery until right before the season and knew for months before he needed it and team doctors told him to have it. I remember it upset Sean Payton when he just has the surgery and has to sit out the whole season.
He got that Albert-Haynesworth syndrome. Got that $100 million dollar ($60 million guaranteed) contract inked, and getting up at 4:00 AM just didn’t seem that attractive anymore. Got a turf-toe injury, he knew he needed surgery and waited until it was time to report to camp to have his surgery. Ghosted the team. Got another $10 million guaranteed last year to show up to camp and play like half a season. He earned the money and decided to stop putting in the effort. I can understand why one would stop trying when they have enough money to give 3 generations a great lifestyle without any effort for the rest of his life.
@@blakepreston9459 Yea I say he got hurt and had already had the money, so he realized he didn't want to harm himself for everyone else's entertainment. We have to remember this is a business and a job. When you have that F U money to just leave, and you don't like the position you're in at work and you feel like they are taking advantage of your body for their gain what would you do? It hit a little different when you don't got to settle for less and can say I'm out! Boss move if you ask me made millions of dollars and still have my brains to enjoy my success with my family and minor body injuries that he has vs those he will get if he keep playing that will only get worse and harder to recover from the more he ages. Sounds better than playing ball if you ask me. Football isn't for the faint of heart you take trauma every game especially at higher level where 6'5 linemen run 4.5's same 40 he ran.

They didn't. They were a middle of the pack defense in penalties. Hitting people hard within the rules ain't cheating. They were only punished because they made bets on it. Who cares.
As a Saints fan it's crazy to see how fast the fanbase turned on him, whenever he played our offense was good, anyone would be frustrated with the Saints situation right now especially on the offensive side. Injuries really robbed us of a potentially HOF career and he was right about being on pace for 1k on 2023, Carr did not look that great and there were multiple miscommunications throughout the year, I can't imagine having to deal with bad/midldle of the pack QBs after developing the kind of connection he had with Drew when you hold yourself to such a high standard. People seem to forget what received always put his body on the line and made the most contested catches for us consistently, he truly was the best during his peak. I will always root for him and truly believe you can't guard mike when he is healthy. I hope he gets a chance somewhere else and hopefully he can comeback and retire a Saint.
Michael Thomas was a absolute BEAST such a awesome phenomenal player to watch but his absolute BEST year in 2019 he'd broke an NFL Record for Receptions with 149 catches in one season earning hin the NFL's Offensive player of the year award then all of a sudden he just feel off a big cliff big time becoming a DIVA version of Owens and Moss
And that's saying something since neither of those men were Rice or Brown on the field to begin with. They were already divas. Mike just been putting himself with AB instead of actual all timers
As a saints fan it hurts to see him leave but being consistently hurt on that massive deal just wasn’t worth it but I hope he has a good career somewhere else
The saddest fact about the injury that ruined MT’s career was that he got the injury blocking at the goal line when the saints were trying to run out the clock on Tampa Bay with a 2 score lead , at this point in that game he shouldn’t have been out there, I’ve always blamed Sean Payton for having a key player out there in that situation when the game was practically over!!!
He is still playing and it’s only a few years since he got hurt and that injury takes 2 years to recover from so this year is the year we will know how good he is now.
He's a great example as an athlete having God given talent that never put the necessary work in at a young age until something in him finally clicked and he took full advantage of it to maxamize the specialized talents he was given. This is generally how the majority of the mega super stars get to where they get to. On the other hand many children do not ever get to reach their max potential at their talents because of the way the world is set up. Which is exactly why I remind everyone to stay in faith with God and alignment on the purpose he assigned you on in this earth
It was an absolute shame what happened to Michael Thomas. A 2nd round draftee who turned into an all pro, WON the triple crown, GOT paid, and then it all just FELL APART in 2020 with that ankle injury. He was just SLICK as a route runner and then THAT happens.
He just doesn't have the explosiveness out of his breaks and isn't dominating at the contested catches. Still had a decent year last year only playing 10 games
Thanks for always being there for me bro from the 300k rolls Royce you let me borrow for prom or the private jet you let me fly in for my graduation true W mans
His injuries took his agility. He doesnt have the same explosiveness out of his breaks, and out if his vertical. And he always had a decent amount of contested catches. He had a decent yeat considering he only played 10 games. He can still be a decent option and if he can stay healthy, and if you take last year could get around 60-85 grabs. But he doesnt come out if his breaks the same and isnt the same player who get all those contested catches. But that is all from his ankle injuries.

We’re still waiting for that explanation bc Carlton Davis had 1 good game against dude. Meanwhile, Lattimore clamps Evans every single game in their career 😂
@@jackobluntly3467 I guess you don’t watch the games? 😂 last year when y’all beat us, he held Evans to 3 catches on 8 targets for 40 yards. And the 22 yard gain was against Adebo so basically 2 catches for 18 yards. You can try to act like Evans doesn’t get clamped by Lattimore every single time but that would be a lie. Even national sports media talks about it every time they play. That’s why your boy has to start a fight and cheap shot Latti every chance he gets 😂🙌🏼
So there's Saints fans on this thread still whining about that NFC title fame against the Rams. Let's review all of the Saints penalties that the refs, media and fans chose to ignore, shall we? - Rams WR Brandin Cooks held in the red zone, fistful of jersey - Rams QB Jared Goff blatantly facemasked - Rams WR Brandin Cooks blatantly facemasked - Saints defender stomping on Rams player's head, after play is over - Saints offense committing Delay Of Game on 2nd & Goal in the 3rd Quarter - Saints taunting and committing unsportsmanlike conduct, multiple times throughout the game - Saints O-Line holding all game long, like they held all game long in Week 9 Rams/Saints matchup - Obnoxious insufferable Saints fans blowing whistles and emulating the refs, in order to confuse Rams players. That, and Brees threw an ugly interception in overtime. Then you clowns have the audacity to distribute petitions for a do-over, and you wanna sue the league??! 😂🤡 The better team won the game. Cope.
The reason why the refs didn't call pass interference @the 6:11 mark of this video is because some games are fixed.. The refs have a lot of control of the games outcome.. For example the new NFL rules allow offensive linemen to hold every down so the refs can call holding whenever they want because it's happening every down.. You can tell which team they want to lose by how many petty penalty calls the refs make against a given team.. What happened to Detroit last year(2023) against the Cowboys in week 17 is a classic example of the refs determining who wins !
I played football at Myrtle Beach high my senior year, played OLB and runningback, that 2010 fall and class of 2011 was the best fall of football and best class in the world ever, so so so many athletes from 2011 Frfr
Injuries, he was a workhorse for like a few years, came out looking like one of the best up and coming receivers, and then he got injured and was never the same. Also, his game was slant routes, they call him Michael Slants for a reason, and this is a deep ball, YAC league. Those two things combined, hurt his career.
He was a good possession WR that benefited greatly from the passing philosophy of the Saints. He was a top 5 in his prime, but not ever the ‘best’ WR in the NFL. The Saints (and Brees) became too dependent on giving him short, slants, and he excelled on short to midrange passes. He was very physical and tough, but become very predictable. He took a LOT of very hard hits. He can contribute, but I am not sure if he will be picked up by another club?
He got placed on IR two times in the same month of November 3 times? What are the odds of that? I genuinly Believe him about that structure of the levels about majority driven careers run by an owner. They expect you to be a yes man! Never in my life did being a yes man ever accumulate anything worth living for. Which is why God had always placed me in position to be my own boss at whatever career I pursued
Drew Beers is retired ..Michael Thomas had an injury , by him have an injury, he may have felt mentally drained and angry because of his performance, and his injuries that occur l is unfortunate that happened to Michael Thomas. He was one of the best on the field in the NFL of the Saints .. wish him all the best..
As a Saint fan it hurts to remember all these moments. MT was and is a great player but from the distance I always thought that his admiration of gangsters was an issue that would eventually cause problems. Maybe it fueled his off the field attitude. We all Saints held our hopes up until the day he was released.
He never was the fastest on the field, but he was always the toughest. That’s what I liked about him because after contact he was a dog I believe if he’s the right system, he can make some noise. I would honestly like to see him go to Minnesota.
Watching the Saints experience the miracle in Minnesota followed by the bullshit no-call, followed by Brees retiring....I now know why I don't watch football anymore. RIP Saints, it was good while it lasted
7:43 “Nearly 400 LESS!”, I didn’t realize 331 was “almost 400”. This is literally the equivalent of someone asking you the time, so you look at your watch and see that it’s 10:19am, and you say “yeah it’s 11am.” 🤣
At what institution of elementary level learning did Michael Thomas acquire the obvious lack of grammar he vividly displayed on X? If one is going to complain and blame others for one’s lack of performance it is essential that said allegations be clearly stated and easily understood. Thank God Thomas did not insist on using “They/Them” plural pronouns for his singular based complaint against the Saints to even more conflate his shit-show.
Sean Payton ran this man into the ground, and got him almost no help in the passing game. (The only real “WR2” option he had was Alvin Kamara) The man basically became the RGIII of wide receivers.
People forget Herman Moore ,wr Detroit in the 90’s put up these kinda numbers too with Mid to low level Qb’s …Herman Moore also has almost double the career TD’s with almost the same Amount of career catches ..Thomas has 565 for 36TD’s . Moore has 670 for 62 TD’s . Not discrediting Thomas but Moore has an argument at least on stats
Latavius Murray destroyed the remainder of his career. The last play 3 years before he got cut... man... you just knew that was end when Murray stepped on that ankle
Michael Thomas was a huge weapon in Ohio State. He could still be one of the best WR in the NFL, but just seems like he slowed down and is going through the motions. I get it though, because he fought every game to win and put his team in the top. It takes a toll on your mind and body. He hasn't had that many off the field issues, at least not as much as most the players have.
Michael Thomas was an absolute elite pairing with Brees. Brees was a model of consistency when it came to accuracy and decision-making. Thomas wasn't going to burn anybody. However, his route running, big body, wingspan, and baseball mitt hands were perfect for a QB like Brees or even Bridgewater who was also consistent in accuracy, avoiding forced misplaced balls while being a surgeon in short-intermediate throws. Thomas got spoiled, big-headed, and his antics turned him into a diva. That aside, he was still a great WR but the ankle and knee injuries were to much for a elite possession guy who requires separation. Those injuries took away that 1 extra step he had and he couldn't just box out guys every play. He was good at it but that's too much physicality for someone injury prone in their later years.
M. Thomas was good when good when he had Drew throwing at him but after he retired M. Thomas sustain injuries which has slowed him down, his production has dropped mostly because of injuries.
He was the best WR, and than Drew Brees retired.....😂😂😂

"Howeverrrrrr" Girl's voice can't be unheard. I'm in love. She needs to have her own show on a major network. She got skills!
😢 this hurts
Man, he was awesome. I wish he would comeback to a team.
Carlton Davis destroyed this man’s career
how
We’re still waiting for that explanation bc Carlton Davis had 1 good game against dude. Meanwhile, Lattimore clamps Evans every single game in their career 😂
@@blakepreston9459 fr lol this kid just saying anything
@@blakepreston9459When was the last time Cryshon had a good game against BIG MIKE 🤔...lol..go Bucs 🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️
@@jackobluntly3467 I guess you don’t watch the games? 😂 last year when y’all beat us, he held Evans to 3 catches on 8 targets for 40 yards. And the 22 yard gain was against Adebo so basically 2 catches for 18 yards. You can try to act like Evans doesn’t get clamped by Lattimore every single time but that would be a lie. Even national sports media talks about it every time they play. That’s why your boy has to start a fight and cheap shot Latti every chance he gets 😂🙌🏼
So there's Saints fans on this thread still whining about that NFC title fame against the Rams. Let's review all of the Saints penalties that the refs, media and fans chose to ignore, shall we?
- Rams WR Brandin Cooks held in the red zone, fistful of jersey
- Rams QB Jared Goff blatantly facemasked
- Rams WR Brandin Cooks blatantly facemasked
- Saints defender stomping on Rams player's head, after play is over
- Saints offense committing Delay Of Game on 2nd & Goal in the 3rd Quarter
- Saints taunting and committing unsportsmanlike conduct, multiple times throughout the game
- Saints O-Line holding all game long, like they held all game long in Week 9 Rams/Saints matchup
- Obnoxious insufferable Saints fans blowing whistles and emulating the refs, in order to confuse Rams players.
That, and Brees threw an ugly interception in overtime. Then you clowns have the audacity to distribute petitions for a do-over, and you wanna sue the league??!
😂🤡
The better team won the game. Cope.
He’s suspended he hadn’t disappeared
how long??
@@Jam4. I dont know but ik he got suspended
Awesome video this was crazy detailed it sounded like I was watching flemlo raps idk why I wasn’t subbed before 🔥🔥
Michael Thomas is still unemployed as of October 2024. 🤣😂
He has 100 million bro 😎 he is the richest unemployed man ever !!!!
The reason why the refs didn't call pass interference @the 6:11 mark of this video is because some games are fixed.. The refs have a lot of control of the games outcome.. For example the new NFL rules allow offensive linemen to hold every down so the refs can call holding whenever they want because it's happening every down.. You can tell which team they want to lose by how many petty penalty calls the refs make against a given team.. What happened to Detroit last year(2023) against the Cowboys in week 17 is a classic example of the refs determining who wins !
Just stumble across your channel you’re really good at these vids love watching them on my breaks at work
I played football at Myrtle Beach high my senior year, played OLB and runningback, that 2010 fall and class of 2011 was the best fall of football and best class in the world ever, so so so many athletes from 2011 Frfr
Injuries, he was a workhorse for like a few years, came out looking like one of the best up and coming receivers, and then he got injured and was never the same. Also, his game was slant routes, they call him Michael Slants for a reason, and this is a deep ball, YAC league. Those two things combined, hurt his career.
@4:53 it's called the "Minneapolis* Miracle"
He was a good possession WR that benefited greatly from the passing philosophy of the Saints. He was a top 5 in his prime, but not ever the ‘best’ WR in the NFL. The Saints (and Brees) became too dependent on giving him short, slants, and he excelled on short to midrange passes. He was very physical and tough, but become very predictable. He took a LOT of very hard hits. He can contribute, but I am not sure if he will be picked up by another club?
You always have great videos please keep making them!!
Very nice Lauren! Gives a little context to why the Chiefs haven’t signed him and probably shouldn’t
That Minnesota Miracle, haunts me til
This day. The no call was a dagger. Saints should’ve had a mini dynasty.
Brandon Cooks disappeared after getting too close to Malcolm Jenkins in the Superbowl. FLY EAGLES FLY!!!
Since Derek Carr was a Raider I've been saying that the placement of his throws gets receivers hurt.
It’s the “However” for me 😂
Carr and Allen is the reason he disappeared he still had talent last time I seen him
Met Mike at a restaurant in LA , he even let me cut the line to order before him , Humble , Cool folks 💯
Why does it feel like it’s been longer since he’s played? lol
2:59 his career was almost over 😢 thank god it didn’t happen
Can you do Todd Gurley if you didn't yet?
I’m legit editing that video right now lol!
He got placed on IR two times in the same month of November 3 times? What are the odds of that? I genuinly Believe him about that structure of the levels about majority driven careers run by an owner. They expect you to be a yes man! Never in my life did being a yes man ever accumulate anything worth living for. Which is why God had always placed me in position to be my own boss at whatever career I pursued
As a Buccaneers fan I’m kinda glad he went away. We got terrorized by Julio Jones’s for a decade, thought we had another one to deal with
Carlton Davis always had clamps on him
Drew Beers is retired ..Michael Thomas had an injury , by him have an injury, he may have felt mentally drained and angry because of his performance, and his injuries that occur l is unfortunate that happened to Michael Thomas. He was one of the best on the field in the NFL of the Saints .. wish him all the best..
As a Saint fan it hurts to remember all these moments. MT was and is a great player but from the distance I always thought that his admiration of gangsters was an issue that would eventually cause problems. Maybe it fueled his off the field attitude. We all Saints held our hopes up until the day he was released.
He never was the fastest on the field, but he was always the toughest. That’s what I liked about him because after contact he was a dog I believe if he’s the right system, he can make some noise. I would honestly like to see him go to Minnesota.
Watching the Saints experience the miracle in Minnesota followed by the bullshit no-call, followed by Brees retiring....I now know why I don't watch football anymore. RIP Saints, it was good while it lasted
Running hard slants on turf ended his career.
7:43 “Nearly 400 LESS!”, I didn’t realize 331 was “almost 400”.
This is literally the equivalent of someone asking you the time, so you look at your watch and see that it’s 10:19am, and you say “yeah it’s 11am.” 🤣
What was the reason you just talking about his yard and stacks and all that
Mike has sooo much potential he has the talent but unfortunately he couldn’t stay healthy, he looked slow and just didn’t seem to be in it.
Why does she have to say “things took a turn for the worst so much”
Great information and well thought out videos.
Do you only do this about Men or do you have Women videos too?
Great vid im here wondering what hapoened to him? Was realky good a few years ago. U think cause of injuries? Rangers advanced!
At what institution of elementary level learning did Michael Thomas acquire the obvious lack of grammar he vividly displayed on X? If one is going to complain and blame others for one’s lack of performance it is essential that said allegations be clearly stated and easily understood. Thank God Thomas did not insist on using “They/Them” plural pronouns for his singular based complaint against the Saints to even more conflate his shit-show.
Drafted him my first year of fantasy, he was never the same once I got through with him
He will sign after June 1st... non guaranteed contract, protects the team
Naw, that boy DONE
SheGotSports....Easily one if the best Football history channels around
Sean Payton ran this man into the ground, and got him almost no help in the passing game. (The only real “WR2” option he had was Alvin Kamara)
The man basically became the RGIII of wide receivers.
Saints fan here ⚜️ this is just sad to me for my team and one of my favorite players
An unspectacular end to a spectacular career. Good vid
That 4 year stretch MT put up wad nuts.
Don’t forget they had jimmy graham also on those New Orleans team which made his job easy.
Because Jimmy was one of the best tight ends in the league.
People forget Herman Moore ,wr Detroit in the 90’s put up these kinda numbers too with Mid to low level Qb’s …Herman Moore also has almost double the career TD’s with almost the same Amount of career catches ..Thomas has 565 for 36TD’s . Moore has 670 for 62 TD’s . Not discrediting Thomas but Moore has an argument at least on stats
He had a great career!
The 5 wr's selected ahead of him Corey Coleman, who?, who?, who? and Sterling Shepard. Mike's story didnt end up the way it was supposed to.
Great breakdown.I wondered where he went
He might as well Retire now 15:00
Bro keep it up. You be on point with ur vids
Thanks, will do!
I remember watching MT when I was little... Life was great until he got injured😞😞
Latavius Murray destroyed the remainder of his career. The last play 3 years before he got cut... man... you just knew that was end when Murray stepped on that ankle
Michael Thomas was a huge weapon in Ohio State. He could still be one of the best WR in the NFL, but just seems like he slowed down and is going through the motions. I get it though, because he fought every game to win and put his team in the top. It takes a toll on your mind and body. He hasn't had that many off the field issues, at least not as much as most the players have.
he played for the saints in 2023-2024 season, he is a free agent right now
Michael Thomas was an absolute elite pairing with Brees. Brees was a model of consistency when it came to accuracy and decision-making. Thomas wasn't going to burn anybody. However, his route running, big body, wingspan, and baseball mitt hands were perfect for a QB like Brees or even Bridgewater who was also consistent in accuracy, avoiding forced misplaced balls while being a surgeon in short-intermediate throws.
Thomas got spoiled, big-headed, and his antics turned him into a diva. That aside, he was still a great WR but the ankle and knee injuries were to much for a elite possession guy who requires separation. Those injuries took away that 1 extra step he had and he couldn't just box out guys every play. He was good at it but that's too much physicality for someone injury prone in their later years.
Yeah him and Drew were legit a perfect WR QB match their style of play really elevated each other. Thanks for watching!
M. Thomas was good when good when he had Drew throwing at him but after he retired M. Thomas sustain injuries which has slowed him down, his production has dropped mostly because of injuries.
