Brandin Cooks on returning to the Saints, his thoughts on Saints WRs & talking to Derek Carr

[Chuck McGill Esq.]

Nah, I don't like Chipotle, it's not my thing. I can probably count on one hand how many times I've ate at Chipotle.

I think it's ignorant for fans to attack a man for where he took his family to eat. It shows how weak the person is making the comments/doing the attack over just accepting that for Carr and his family it was best if they just grabbed a quick meal at Chipotle at that time. It's absolutely not and never was a bid deal.

Do you know anyone who was genuinely angry over that? I'm not saying there was no one, but I haven't seen anyone doing anything other than making a joke out of it, or for those that already didn't like Carr just using it as another thing to add to why they dislike him.

It just seems like a meme to me.

.... and community?? Like what?

Like this that he got accused on here of doing for the media attention even though no one knew he did it until he got the NFLPA award for it.

Derek Carr named NFLPA Community MVP

Love seeing our players helping their communities.

It's all over this board. They use it as a way to pile on to their dislike of Carr.

I love this.

I'll take your word for it. There are plenty of times I check out so I probably missed it.

I just remember I used that in a post one time simply to tease Carr. No hate at all. And more than a couple of posters got very sensitive about it.

It's been non-stop since he signed so we are over 2 years into dumb Chipotle jabs. They fall flat now.

I’ve heard more about Derek Carr taking his family to Chipotle in these 3 months of 2025 than I heard in the previous 21 months of him being a member of the Saints. It’s a strange thing for people to have latched on to and bring to every thread.

For people to think Carr is off limits for being joked about, it just seems pretty sad to me. And then to lump people who are teasing with being this massive hater who is attacking Carr and his children who just simply needed something to eat, come on.

Not saying you do this Snakehead.

That's why I said it's like a meme. Sometimes memes catch on the internet and no one can explain why.

Cooks is not at all a primary deep threat anymore. See Avg Yards Per Catch and Longest Catch. He's more depth than starter, starting out.

You hope we're getting 2023 Cooks.

If you scheme him right, he should be open and I want him to catch balls that move the chains.

By the way......and this is for everyone, how is Chipotle?
I can't remember ever visiting.

I like Izzo's much better (I've changed my tune from earlier posts on the subject), which I frequent here in Lafayette. I can eat moderately healthy there and I usually eat half of a burrito and save the other half for another meal. But on the road (visiting my daughter in Houston) I will go to Chipotle's in a heartbeat. I totally get why Carr took his family there when they first arrived. What started out as fun tongue-in-cheek ribbing (or so I thought) for not going for some good local cuisine has turned spiteful and ugly with some.

New rule, all new Saints quarterbacks eat their first meal in town at Bobby Hebert’s Cajun Cannon. They have a kids menu, too.

As for Chipotle, it's a great fast food restaurant. Much better than the McDonald's and Burger King that used to be the only fast food joints out before Americans got too obese and needed healthier options.

Derek to me was just being Dad when he said that's where he ate first. One wants Derek to have more awareness on the field, or about the unique culture and history of the city he came too, but it aint happenin'.

Mickey was desperate for a real starting QB, found one cheaper because of cap constraints, but the guy he chose is still the same cat that came out of the Raiders. Then Mickey had to inflate the asset cost of Carr to be able to sign the other players, which yielded 9 and 5 wins in two years.

Slow down now. I don't want to really punish our QBs.

 

[RichB]

None of that matters. He ate at Chipotle.

Maybe we need to add a Chipotle emoji in place of the clown one. Mods?!?!
