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.

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?

"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.
