Chris Olave’s brother takes Saints’ situation from bad to worse with one tweet

Chris Olave’s brother takes Saints’ situation from bad to worse with one tweet

Everyone knew that the New Orleans Saints had spiraled after a surprising start. However, it is difficult to say that anyone saw a disaster coming on the level of what is happening around this organization in week 9. But it’s here and, woo boy, it gets rough in the Big Easy.

For starters, the club lost its seventh straight game, even with quarterback Derek Carr returning to the field. To make matters worse, they dropped Sunday’s game against the ailing Carolina Panthers and benched former QB Bryce Young. If that wasn’t bad enough in itself and enough to say Dennis Allen’s job In jeopardy, the team also lost one of its top weapons, wide receiver Chris Olave.

On a real “hospital ball” thrown by Carr, Olave took a big hit and lay horribly on the field. The cart and a stretcher were brought out to get Olave off the field safely and, in good news, it appears the wide receiver will be fine as he is treated in Charlotte for a concussion.

That play and the team’s overall poor performance caused former Saints receiver Michael Thomas to do so go by X/Twitter and destroying the organization, destroying Carr, and generally expressing his displeasure with everything happening in New Orleans right now.

Thomas’ comments then reached Olave’s brother Josh, and things have gotten progressively worse from there.

Josh Olave responded to Thomas for the first time, saying Carr lied about him when he was with the Saints and that the quarterback “needs his ass kicked” with two “100” emojis.

That actually wasn’t the worst! After Olave sent an update that Chris was “up and active,” a Saints fan responded by saying the receiver may need to consider whether it was “worth it” to stay on the field as some of his head injuries are developing started to pile up. a little up. In response, Olave really went for the jugular in New Orleans, saying “It’s not worth it in Nola”.

It’s hard to believe or even remember at this point, when we were sitting around in mid-December thinking that Klint Kubiak might have turned the Saints into a juggernaut. How far and how fast they have fallen since then.

However, when the brother of one of the team’s stars says it’s not worth playing for this team, it’s an indication that something is really wrong institutionally. Whether that’s Carr, whether it’s Allen, or whether it’s a combination of those two and many other things, it now feels like the Saints are approaching a point of no return if things continue in this direction.
