My wife gives me poo poo because I've thought the Panthers were going to be really good every training camp for the last 10 years or so.

But seriously, I think they're going to surprise some people this year :)

If I’m remembering right when Brees got that same contract of 5 years/100 million, people howled about that.

Julio will probably beat it now.

Yeah would have been nice if they had some cap to sign a receiver that could handle a little contact.

The saints have been making GBS threads out receivers and linemen since Brees got there.

Whoa whoa whoa front seven players, not so fast...

brees has been making competent receivers look like stars even though they would not be stars anywhere else, i'll give you that. but thomas is something else, e.g.:

quote:

Thomas’ 38 receptions through the first three games of the 2018 season set a record in NFL history, a mark Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones previously set in 2014 with 34 catches in the same span.

His 321 receptions ranks as the most in league history for a player through his first three seasons, and Thomas' 80.6 career yards receiving per game currently ranks fifth all-time (minimum 25 games) behind Jones (96.7), Odell Beckham Jr. (92.8), Antonio Brown (86.2) and Calvin Johnson (86.1).

The Saints No. 1 wide receiver holds four team records, establishing marks for most receptions in a game (16 on Sept. 9, 2018); most yards receiving in a game (211 on Nov. 4, 2018); most receptions in a single season (125 in 2018); and most yards receiving in a single season (1,405 in 2018).

my point here is that i'm perfectly fine with the team paying him, dude's earned it

Yeah Mike Thomas came in saying he was gonna be the man and instantly was. It's pretty rare to see a rookie wide receiver get started off like he did, and usually it means they're a special talent. In his case he just kept building on that great start and earned every penny of this contract

Look Drew Brees is a garbage time QB and Michael Thomas is a system receiver and the NFC South is a place where we arent a massive crab bucket of teams.

I'm not just saying that because i think MT is bad, but the Saints are going be blowing a lot of cap space on one receiver in years where they'll probably need a kickass defense to carry them.

Eh the cap is going to keep increasing and when Drew goes they're probably going to lose another four or five key pieces along with their coaching staff when Jerry backs a truck of cash up to their door.

Signing a top 5 receiver isn't a bad move by any stretch.

Y'all act like you don't remember Mickey Loomis is a magician with the cap and pulls off crap that makes you mad when we have no cap space.

Not saying it always works, but the man gets the job done.

Every Saints fan with a brain (so...some) knows that x+1 year is when every single part of the team will implode 5 minutes after Brees' retirement, we'll fire sale Thomas and Kamara off, Payton finally moves into his Dallas mansion. X being the current year. (And having been the current year for like the last four years now)

I'd even half-rear end bet that Benson's widow sell the team within 2-3 years after it.

Nah. She might want the Pelicans to be known as her team, but she knows the Saints are the cash cow.

Meh.

He actually has the physical skills necessary to play the FS position which is more than you can say about any of the players the Panthers have had since he left.
