Are you serious?
Richard Seymour – 1 All Pro, 2x Pro Bowl
Adam Vinatieri – Super Bowl with Colts
Matt Cassel – 1 Pro Bowl (27 TD, 7 INT in 2010)
Ty Law – 1x Pro Bowl, 2005 NFL-INT leader
Assante Samuel – 2x All Pro, 2x Pro Bowl, NFL-INT leader in 2009 & 2010

Isn’t this the same team that got in trouble for spying on other teams? Trying to elevate themselves to be more than what they are at the expense of Ocho is so sad.

I don’t get why only those in our media are allowed to be egomaniacs who love attention at anyone’s expense.

aaaaaahhhhhhh, the Patriot way. Throw a guy you don’t like under the Bus and then come up with the idiotic reason of not learning a playbook as an excuse.

You slamming the Pats/ calling them liars?? Belichick loved Chad/ gave him WAY more time than he would have anyone else/ overpaid him!!!

I think ocho is addicted to attention via twitter, facebook, ustream, reality shows, etc. Marvin Lewis scolded him for it during TEAM meetings- more than once!! I think he did that so the whole team would get after him!! TJ whatshisface used to help him know which plays to run in college and Cincy!! Maybe he has too much pride to tell a coach he needs help in learning!! Maybe he lit his playbook on fire and flushed it down the toilet because he couldn’t use it in the traditional way!!

And I like him/ think he’s a RIOT!!

I don’t think he wanted to be there……I’m glad he is no longer a Patriot and I could care less about him as a player……

Ah well, he wasn’t a good match for NE but that doesn’t mean he can’t fit into a more ‘visual’ offense. I wish him the best.

Did he not participate in that Dance show, he learned dance moves so he can learn. He really needs to get professional help to find out why he cannot learn from reading books but can learn from being taught by actions and example, monkey see monkey do.

How long do you think an Offensive lineman would last in the league if he didn’t know what his assignments were? He would have been cut in his first training camp. And never would see the inside of a facemask again.

Football is just a stepping stone to an illustrious irrelevant career once he’s done with the NFL!

Is it too late for him to join that concussion lawsuit thing to gets some of dem money those people are goin after? He gonna to need it!

There have been a few that have done well. Seymour, Samuel, etc. but not many under BB.

And I’m pretty sure that Davo’s statement did not have any time line qualifiers.

I calls them as I sees them.

Buffalo, Miami, Carolina, Minnesota. Possibly all 4, 4 games each before being dumped if he keeps up the issues.

Scratch Carolina off your list. If Chad EightFive couldn’t learn the NE playbook, he doesn’t have a snowball’s chance in hell at learning Rob Chudzinski’s playbook.

Learning disability? Possible, but that’s not a justifiable reason for knowing so little about the playbok nearly a year after getting to NE. Most people with learning disabilities can learn, but in most cases just need more time when taking tests. I worked in the disability services office on campus when I was in college. The vast majority of the students with learning disabilities we helped needed no accommodation other than an hour and a half to take an exam instead of the 45 minutes they get in class.

No offseason? Doesn’t matter. Cam Newton didn’t have one either. Yeah, he had the playbook during most of the lockout, but he mastered the complex offense by putting in very long hours at IMG and in training camp after the lockout. All the idiots that were questioning Cam’s work ethic should have been pointing their questions to Chad EightFive.

The only thing that truly baffles me about this situation is that Florio actually considered Carolina on the list of places EightFive could land.

There have been a few that have done well. Seymour, Samuel, etc. but not many under BB.

Won’t be able to come to Buffalo then, Chan Gailey’s offense is too complex. Ryan Fitzpatrick doesn’t get to hold the ball longer than 3-5 seconds, there are many different screens, tricky runs, play action plays and a lot of precision blocking. Probably too much for OchoCinco to grasp, but I could be wrong, It could be the teacher and not the student of the playbook. Belichick doesn’t seem too approachable, Gailey is easy to get along with.

I like Chan a lot and agree he seems to be a player’s coach, but IMO you’re way off base with the rest of this. BB ADORES Chad. He loved Moss too. Both those guys were in NE partly BECAUSE BB loved them as people. BB likes some very differing and difficult type people at times. For example, he and Jim Brown are practically BFFs and Jim Brown is a total DB. There’s a reason that even some players he had public/semi public tiffs with eventually come back to considering themselves Patriots (Milloy, Law, etc.). And it ain’t because they’re still paying those guys.

BB can coach any position or scheme out there, and he does, still. Criticizing some of his draft picks/decisions, etc, I get. But the man is a fabulous teacher of all aspects of the game.

Remember what Marvin Lewis said a while before Chad was traded to the Pats? Someone asked him about Chad going to NE and Marvin said BB isn’t that stupid. It still makes me laugh.

Jim Plunkett. Stunk in NE, won 2 SBs in Oakland.

I hope he does well wherever he goes. Dude has never been in trouble with the law, and if you actually follow him on Twitter you’d know he’s a genuine, nice guy. Aside from his poor season in NE, he’s had a solid career and you can’t begrudge a guy for that.

Buffalo, Miami, Carolina, Minnesota. Possibly all 4, 4 games each before being dumped if he keeps up the issues.

Since Lewis came to Cincy in 2003, Belichick has been to five Super Bowls, winning THREE, while Lewis can’t get past the first round in three tries.

Lewis is definitely the better coach. Right.

There’s no way he would’ve had those great seasons there if he weren’t on the same page with Palmer or Kitna.

I definitely think he can still play though. When things were simple for him in this offense (hey chad, go run a 10 yard in) he would still get open.
