Former New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas didn’t hold back when talking about quarterback Derek Carr.

After Saints wide receiver Chris Olave suffered a concussion After a hard hit while trying to catch a pass from Carr over the middle of the field during Sunday’s game against the Carolina Panthers, Thomas took to social media to criticize his former teammate and signal-caller.

Of note, he said New Orleans should get Carr “out of here.”

Dude, it’s scary and panic and just throw the ball. Get him out of here, that idiot.

Thomas was Carr’s teammate last season and finished with 39 catches for 448 yards and a touchdown in 10 games.

It was a far cry from when he led the league in receptions in back-to-back seasons in 2018 and 2019. He also led the league in receiving yards in 2019 with 1,725 ​​on his 149 receptions.

Injuries proved to be an issue from there, as he played seven games in 2020, missed the entire 2021 campaign, and then played three games in 2022. Last season was the most he played since 2019, but he couldn’t replicate part of his previous numbers while catching passes from Carr.

New Orleans still went 9-8 in Carr’s first season with the team in 2023, although it did not make the playoffs.

Olave was the team’s leading receiver last year with 1,123 yards.

Thomas was not happy with the situation and did not hesitate to call out the quarterback who made the pass on the play.
