If this latest situation where one of the starting WRs is injured has shown the team anything, it's that they need to have quality depth ready to play. The only way that happens is with live reps, not soft 7 on 7's in mostly non-contact practices.
We've seen him after wins where he hardly gets the ball and he's been perfectly good with it. He's always questioned things when he's not getting the ball and the team loses. Even before this year.
If you want him to be good with not getting opportunities that are going to others, get others around him that can make good on those opportunities. If you're going to give guys like Gesicki, Iosivas, and Irwin similar targets while he draws coverage and they suck, he's going to want those opportunities.
It's like he should be happy with losing as long as everyone touches the ball like it's youth soccer or something.
