Did Michael Thomas slight Drew Brees with tweets?

Michael Thomas is clearly bothered by the notion that he cannot make plays down the field, and the New Orleans Saints receiver appeared to throw his quarterback under the bus to make a point on Sunday.

Thomas was held without a catch in last week’s loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Following the disappointing performance, Bucs cornerback Carlton Davis and many others mocked Thomas by calling him “Slant Boy.” That’s a nickname Thomas earned from people who think he is only capable of running underneath routes and catching short passes.

In the first half of Sunday’s NFC Championship Game between Tampa Bay and the Green Bay Packers, Davis was torched by Marquez Valdes-Scantling on a 50-yard touchdown pass. Thomas immediately began bashing the cornerback on Twitter.
