    Cooks is not a ne style receiver. Him and ab are completely diff receivers. He doesn't run the entire route tree like an does. Ab would kill a lot in the slot with ne. And Rodgers would definitely give it to ab he has put up numbers with virtually anyone. He has turned now even davante Adam's into a pro bowler and AB is not the first pro bowl receiver to critique ben. Emmaunel sanders also looked better without ben and called manning a "real qb" when he left denver.

    What Scarpino tweeted was idiotic.

    AB was basically calling his bluff.

    Much ado about nothing.

    AB is playing through nagging injury. Getting held all over the field without getting a call. And not playing up to HIS standards. It's not about the stats. He's frustrated with himself.

    Even then, the fact is that AB gets Ben around 150-200 yards a game just by being on the field, even without getting his normal numbers. You really think Jesse James has a career day if the defense isn't focused heavily on stopping AB? Let's be real.

    So many people whine about players not showing any fire. And then when one does, proclaim him a diva.

    Now, AB can afford to calm down a little. That's true. He has to know he'll get his over time. The success of the rest of the receivers means teams won't be about to double and triple AB much longer. Amd injuries heal.

    I'll take a guy who wants the ball, and wants to prove everyone wrong on my team every day. I wish we had 22 players like him.

    Ben overthrew him several times yesterday... hes the best player on the team according to you all so why shouldn't he be getting the most targets?

    Yeah, that was my take on this, too. AB just reacting to a stupid post, not actually seeking a trade.

    Personally I have much less of a problem with what he does sometimes on the field. He is amped up and a fierce competitor so there is the excuse of emotions sometimes....but reacting to a nobody because of " words" c'mon you have to be bigger than that. It shows bad judgment and immaturity...didn't he learn frm his last social media bs...just grow up ,its that simple.

    Saw this and came to post it in context. Sorry to see master clickbait troll monster do his usual shtick with it first.

    AB could afford to calm down and not draw more drama to the team but only a dullard would think he is asking to be traded.

    I'd like to edit this title with a disclaimer so others don't get falsely freaked out by it. Suggestions?

    Nothing like sensationalizing everything just like the media. This team is going down the wrong path without needed grown ups running the program. .

    Calling the bluff of somebody who isn't even apart of the team or has the power to trade him?

    Bigger issue to me is...... why is AB tweeting the day after a loss? Shouldn't he be hitting the film room or something productive?

    Meh, last thing anyone can complain about is AB's work ethic. Takes 2 seconds to fire off a tweet.

    I would think though that after his threatening of a reporter, he'd be more self conscious of what he puts out there.

    I don't think AB was asking for a trade, but he's got some history with immaturity. It's not the first time he's yelled at a coach. Now you can take his yelling one of two ways: either he really feels he can help the team win or he's complaining because he's not getting the volume he wants to get. I can't honestly say which I think it is. Don't forget in this latest fit, he skipped out on his press responsibilities. Normally I could not care less whether the idiots in the media get their interviews, but I am starting to get a bit worried that AB is starting down the road to being T.O. Hope I'm wrong.
