Doesn't sound selfish sounds like he felt left out of the win I would too If Im the #1 WR on the team & I get zero targets not that he didn't score or have any TD's because he wasn't Targeted as WR whose team was kicking the Rams a$$ I would've felt at least a little left out He feels like he didn't contribute but It's cool Sunday you're going to have plenty coming your way Cooks I actually like that attitude

I don't get why y'all are getting so bent out of shape. What did Cooks say that was so wrong? It sounds like a bunch of dogs in here. Y'all hear someone bark at nothing and then every dog in the neighborhood starts barking with no idea of what they are barking at.

Sounds to me like he is saying that you can't take things personally and he needs to suck it up and be a professional.

That's what happens when teams are afraid of ya. Had they not doubled him, he would have torched 'em. They doubled him and got torched by someone else.

I don't think it's just that. I think when he addressed the media last Thursday, he said "Quiet mouths don't get fed."

People can take things how they want. While I agree that his first tweet or whatever could have been taken the wrong way, his address to the media wasn't. When a guy says quiet mouths don't get fed after his first initial tweet, it's easy to deduce that he was probably complaining about the lack of targets.

Now I'm a Cooks fan. I think he's awesome. But I don't necessarily believe that what everyone is saying is wrong. You need to remember that he's the one who went on social media in the first place. Then met with the press later that same week and again said some things that point towards him complaining. And it was after a big win.

We're fans of a team that (recently) typically hasn't had any loud mouths on the team, at least very long.

There's nothing wrong with fans voicing displeasure over this. And I don't think anyone here wants to see him leave. But indicating a "me first attitude" isn't going to win the majority of this fan base over.

And I tend to agree with the majority here about him sounding a little selfish. A win is a win. And he did help, just not with catches.

And in the end, if it's deemed acceptable for a player to complain about his lack of plays in a big win, then it also should be acceptable for the fans of that team to complain about the same player *****ing.

A fan base is mostly compromised of people who are more loyal to the team, not an individual player.
