Michael Thomas has made his feelings about Derek Carr abundantly clear. The former All-Pro wide receiver, currently a free agent, voiced his discontent with the New Orleans Saints’ starting quarterback on social media during the Saints’ matchup against the Panthers.
Thomas’s commentary followed an intense moment in the game where fellow wide receiver Chris Olave took a hard hit and exited the field. In a series of posts on X, Thomas expressed his frustrations regarding Carr’s performance, which has been a point of contention since he joined the team. Carr’s career statistics and Pro Bowl selections might be impressive, but his effectiveness in leading a team to victory has often come under scrutiny. Notably, he never won a playoff game with the Raiders and has maintained a mixed record during his time with the Saints, winning as many games as he has lost over the past year.
From Thomas’s posts, it’s evident that there is no ambiguity regarding his perspective on Carr’s role with the team.
This situation highlights a growing concern among Saints fans about Carr’s ability to lead the team effectively. Thomas’s comments might serve as a wake-up call for the Saints organization, prompting them to assess their quarterback situation moving forward. With the right adjustments and a potential change in leadership, the team can pivot toward a brighter future, fostering hope among fans for a return to competitive form.
