KCSN guys seem to think Michael Thomas is our best option to replace Rice, while still having value when he returns, if he is going to get a significant suspension. [Reply]

Which would also help explain why the OG market has exploded.
If teams are more willing to pay/build around their star DTs and create their pass rush through their interior, the guys that can help cancel them out are going to get paid more as well.
Some folks argued it suggested a likely return to power football. I think it's just a market response to DCs looking to build around the interior pass rush. [Reply]

Ridley-Hopkins-Boyd would've really fucked shit up in 2019. But I still think it's a good group for a young gunslinger.
They basically changed their entire offensive dynamic, they also replaced Henry with Pollard so now their backfield is 2 smaller explosive backs. [Reply]

How much buy-in can he get?
Boyd's a pretty subdued cat but that's three guys with track records and plenty of experience with solid QBs. The issue I could see in TN is if Levis starts off slow and misses some reads/balls. How much rope are these veteran receivers gonna give him?
These aren't guys growing with him. These are guys with a pretty high floor as their expectations and it could get a bit ugly there if Levis doesn't meet that floor quickly. [Reply]

Dude takes his coffee with mayo.
I don’t see the light switch flipping for him, supporting cast or no. [Reply]

Thomas can produce for 8 games until Rice returns. [Reply]
Fully out on Mike Thomas. The Saints stayed in on him while paying him as long as they could and could not get a single drop of production. Why would we think an old injured guy would come here and light it up? [Reply]
