C'mon Brandin, you're better than this.
The article is also assuming a lot. We don't know what he means when he says it's time to become a "business man"

I don't know if being a diva qualifies but I'd feel a certain way about not getting anything. I just wouldn't post it and get people going.

He's frustrated because he's running routes and not getting looks because he's used as a decoy.
WR1's love to prove themselves and dominate their opponent, not giving him the chance to do it is just a disappointment.
Force feeding is one thing, but there were times where the throw could have been made his way and Brees just scanned past it.

he alluded to Brees being the GOAT just a week ago on instagram so I'm going to say you guys are looking way too much into this.

I mean I could see that comment as a negative or a positive. There is certainly some room for interpretation when you leave so much ambiguity.
He may just be saying he needs to adapt to the world he lives in. Referencing his analogy I think he is simply saying he needs to adapt to be successful. Not necessarily saying feed me as much as he may simply be saying he needs to make himself open or a more attractive option in the progressions and reads.
so if catching balls and making plays is his business he needs to work on ways to get his sales up.

I trust Brees' decision making. He spreads the wealth, which is a big reason why the offense can be dominant. Cooks will get his. Watch, next game he'll have 100+ and a TD.

Guaranteed, expect a big over correction next week.

So you're saying I should sit Micheal Thomas next week... 
Posted on 11/29/16 at 2:24 pm to mylsuhat
Well I guess we'll be trading him for a right guard soon
Posted on 11/29/16 at 2:26 pm to mylsuhat
Nah, MT is the most consistent WR by far. Expect another double digit game in PPR. Great weekly flex play. I should've traded him when I had the chance, can't see myself playing him over Julio/Evans/Nelson. But I suppose having him as a backup in case one of these guys goes down isn't the worst thing.

so he "hints" at frustration and now he is a diva.
Posted on 11/29/16 at 2:28 pm to mylsuhat
He a competitor and wants to prove himself every Sunday. I get the frustration of not being targeted at least once in the game. Any guy in the league that wants to be great would be upset. If he wasn't, I'd have to question him being on the team.
Posted on 11/29/16 at 2:31 pm to Chad504boy
I was hoping he wouldn't be like that. Payton won't like that and would tell Mickey to ship him immediately.
And we don't need that. We do need to find a way to get him the ball, but we don't need to force it to him.

the squeaky wheel, always gets the grease.

We're a 2 back and a 3 WR system putting up astronomical offensive numbers. eat a dick cooks if you want to whine.
Posted on 11/29/16 at 2:36 pm to mylsuhat
Can't controversy means clicks.
Posted on 11/29/16 at 2:42 pm to mylsuhat
He's definitely frustrated. Every other week he is basically nixed from the gameplan. He's gonna get his stats over the next 5 games though so I'm not too worried

Not to a 5'10 speedster with no hops.
He did his job. Sucks for him he didnt get the numbers in a blowout but he drew double coverage.

It's just part of being the number 1 deep threat in the lineup. They're going to isolate you and try to bait forced throws. We just have more targets this year and therefore less of a need to force the passes to him. It's not his fault, but he is a good reason Brees has gotten some of the looks downfield to other receivers that he has this year. It's kind of an unfortunate side effect of being a good, small receiver.
