Everybody enjoys debating which NFL team has the best position groups. Especially the wide receiver position.
Having a loaded wide receiver room can really benefit any team in football, as the quarterback has plenty of options at their disposal.
Recently, New Orleans Saints receiver Michael Thomas shared his take about himself and his teammates and now NFL fans are roasting him for it.
According to PFF Fantasy, Thomas claims that Chris Olave, Rashid Shaheed, and himself, for a “Big Three” in New Orleans.

That’s quite the bold statement, so let’s break it down real quick.
First, Chris Olave is a good receiver. He’s probably the best pass option on the team right now. Meanwhile, Shaheed is an unproven player who flashed a little bit last season.
Then, that leaves Michael Thomas, who has barely played for the Saints these last three years.
Here is the situation, the Saints definitely have an improved group, but let’s not get ahead of ourselves here.
Based on how NFL fans reacted to Thomas’ statement, they seem to agree.

If the old Michael Thomas returns then we can open up this discussion again.

From the top rope!
Looks more like 2 and a Half Men

It’s hard to argue with this guy.
The only right answer for the big three is Chase, Higgins, and Boyd

Maybe Michael Thomas can finally bounce back for the Saints though. If that’s the case, the New Orleans could be an incredibly dangerous team for the 2023 season.
Unfortunately, it’s been a while since we’ve seen him at the top. For that reason, many just can’t agree with Thomas’ take.
Look for Thomas and the Saints to prove everyone wrong this coming up season though, as the NFC South is a wide open race this year.
