Add to that the whole the Garoppolo hullabaloo. Then I read a little of this column. Overexposure?
I guess none of it matters, though, as long as he keeps playing well.

I'm so tired of hearing about Tom eff'ing" Brady. Who gives a shit what he eats, how he exercises, etc. I'd like very much for him to go away.

It isn't that unusual really. Montana's feud with Steve Young was legendary, and Favre and Rodgers weren't exactly chummy. The best players are that good because of insane competitiveness, it's hard to turn that off just because a guy who wants your job is a teammate.
It's great if your star QB is willing to mentor the younger guy, but at the end of the day, that is the coaching staff's job.
This. Brady is the Tom Cruise of sports.
