T.O. has always produced on the field and so if he can be a pro in the locker room he canmake the cut too. if you dont follow the hawks its real simple. our secondary was killing our wide outs in practice. KILLING THEM!!!!! thats way they brought in edwards and T.O.

The rest of the NFL will be treating Johnson like a deadly disease.

They were all misused, but the great Pete carroll knows best.

He was their best WR.
He was VERY good in practice and he dropped one pass in the game. Big deal.

And I’m pretty sure Joe Haden repeated the same thing 2 or 3 years ago.

Chad never had nearly the talent of T.O Johnson hardly ever created any separation from dbs. He put up some numbers at times bc Palmer would force the ball to him bc he d constantly be yelling hes open and bringing the qb aside telling him he was open. So the qbs would force the ball to him. I would likd to see the comparison of the avg completion % to ocho against avg reciever. He prob gets 50 passes thrown to him for every 10 receptions. I hope he gets another chance but the next time he gets sent packing is going to hurt more when they say its bc hes not good enough to make the team. Bottom line if he played anything like he says he does the Dolphins wouldn’t be dropping him for the incident.

“He was great now he’s washed up get over it people.”

He never really was great even. Very good sure but never great. He looked dumb with his custom made gold hall of fame coat and he’s the only one that thought he had a chance to make it there. He’s been done for almost 4 yrs. now.

——————————————

Never great?… he just led the AFC 4 times in a row (something no one else has ever done) in a time when people like Marvin Harrison, Andre Johnson, and Derrick Mason were all also in the AFC.

Hate on the guy all you want now, he’s old and is no where near as good as he use to be… But he was one of the best WRs of the past decade without a doubt.

One of the all time greats? Well he’s not HOF worthy, but he was most definitely one of the greats of his era.

You spend a lot of time whining about the Seahawks, the dog that barks the loudest is usually the most frightened. Your team is old and the Hawks are very young and fast. Keep on trolling the posts about the Seahawks, you’ll end up looking foolish soon enough, bud.

fans tend to get caught up in names too much, coaches and football people look at what you can do on the field, T.O. and Braylon can flat out ball, but Chad has declined below NFL standards.

————————

Braylon can “flat out ball”? Since when? He’s had ONE good season, and has been average at best since then.

I believe he is 2nd string, so Pete gets somewhat of a pass on that. Honestly though, if the Hawks get good qb play and the rest of the team plays up to its potential, they will be a force. As a Niners fan, I don’t think this division is a lock to win.

Dude got booted from the Dolphins! No offense to ‘Fins fans but c’mon, Chad! You couldn’t make a team w/that receiver lineup? Are you kidding? Say what ya will, the guy’s still young enough to pull some stunt that’ll somehow squirm him through someone’s locker room doors in the next year or so, if not sooner. Somebody, somewhere will be desperate enough to give the guy a chance, if for no other reason, the publicity…I hate to say. I’d love to not ever hear the clowns’ name again but I know for damn sure this won’t be the last time, and as long as I do hear his name, I’ll be happy to laugh at (er, make fun of!) him and his zany antics.

———————————————————

People are over it! I haven’t seen anyone with “fascination” over Cad Johnson. Everyone is bashing him and saying he’s done. Only the media is talking about him! But that’s just how it goes, he’s in the news and it pays to wright about him…..And he was never “great”

He needs to get hungry, humble and focused on being the best football player he can be. Everything needs to be stripped away from him for him to get it, the NFL, the fame and attention and such. I think it sucks his marriage failed, publicity stunt or not.

His days as a decent to elite NFL WR were over long before this but he did not get that memo. It got old when he was decent (albeit funny at times) but now that he’s washed u,p it’s tired, played out and ridiculous.

These NFL diva’s will never get the point to just shut your mouth, keep your nose clean and play the game you are PAID to play! That and/or they are just too ignorant/arrogant to watch and learn from what is happening to other diva’s that are struggling to find work.

Don’t you guys worry, you know some crappy Sports show will snatch this guy up and we’ll be subjected to listening to how great he thinks he was.

He is a phenomenal athlete who frequently doesn’t know the play or the route. Past teammates have said they had to tell him where to line up. That “might” work if you had an experienced quarterback and he was surrounded by other receivers who were very experienced. We have a brand new starting QB (Flynn or Wilson) and a receiving corps that is a mixed bag on years of experience. Not a good fit.
