You made my point for me though. Brees will throw to Thomas with a small amount of separation. He won't do that with other guys. While this has a lot to do with the fact that Michael Thomas is reliable and catches pretty much everything thrown to him... I do think he has trust issues with receivers not named Michael Thomas. I don't want to ever see MT out in a game that is competitive. If we ever play the Dolphins or something, it'd be nice to see Brees get some work with other receivers. I'm not sure I believe that the only reason Cook is getting more passes now is because he's getting more separation. I think it has a lot to do with Brees and Cook being more on the same page and a sense of trust being established. A lot of Brees throws are based on thinking and being on the same page as his WR. He'll throw the WR open or throw the WR into YAC. Brees is very meticulous, and when it comes to his receivers he can be a bit OCD. He's not the only QB like that. For example last year, Weinz threw to Tate and Ertz. Foles liked to throw to Alshon Jeffery. I highly doubt that these receivers were getting separation differently for the different QBs. What it came down to was trust and the QB being able to be inside the WRs head. When such a high percentage of passes go to MT, developing that rapport with the other receivers can be slow. Just having one game where Brees is forced to go to someone outside of that comfort zone could help.
