Stills.... who cares... see ya later.
COOKS is who I'm watching now!!!

Re: Stills is getting too much hype
 

We are going to regret getting rid of him and graham without replacing them with one above average receiver.
Which would be fine if I thought our defense was going to be any better.

Re: Stills is getting too much hype
 

Stills liked to party into the early morning hours on game days. At least that's what I've read. Brees was probably pissed that he was hungover on Sunday's. Now he's in Miami... Whoa good luck Dolphins.

I believe willie Snead is like k stills without the speed

Re: Stills is getting too much hype
 

Partying to the wee hours on game day? If true then he broke curfew and was never disciplined?

Re: Stills is getting too much hype
 

Probably part of the reason why our player's don't respect Payton that much anymore.

Re: Stills is getting too much hype
 

who knows he maybe one of the guys that was always showing up late. on the field does not justify the trade. it has to be off the field.

Re: Stills is getting too much hype
 

Yeah, like WRs with a "I don't give a ****" attitude in the offense he leads. Why would Brees be concerned about that? Not like it undermines his leadership or anything.

The reality is, even if we know the plays, we don't see what the QB or coaches see. When you see an incomplete pass, or a pass not thrown someone's way, none of us really know why that happened. Only the coaches and the QB know exactly what should've happened. So we really don't know how the team viewed Stills' play.

Re: Stills is getting too much hype
 

Seems to me for someone with a "don't give a **** attitude, he played well enough on the field not to justify a trade and going 7-9 there were probably many in that locker room with attitudes. And Brees is just a player, he doesn't need to like any of his teammates as long as they do their job. Brees has jockeyed for players to be Saints before who's to say he couldn't jockey to let them go?

Re: Stills is getting too much hype
 

"Well enough"...
And how do you really know this "well enough" that you saw, meant that, in the eyes of the coaches, he played poorly based on what was expected of him?

And Brees is not "just a player". He is the QB of the New Orleans Saints. He's the one who throws the ball to the WRs. And he's the one who expects WRs to do certain things, depending what he calls in the huddle.
