We have the worst fans in the NFL. The amount of crying that goes on here is unreal. First year head coach lets try giving him a chance to work out his plan. It really doesn’t matter what product we put on the field you so called fans don’t go to games anyway. How about supporting your team. Shut up and let the season develop. Wow you fans are like women. Just relax.

Johnson had been impressing the coaches up to the point his personal life got a lot screwy…he appears to be truly contrite about his trespass, why not give him one more chance?? Any body drops accidental F… bombs from time to time.

(2) Chad, you may be open, but it’s too little too late. After his stinker year with the Patriots and now this, I think his career is over.

(3) I honestly believe Chad has a learning disability. You take his past academic record and reports of him never actually learning the playbook in Cincinnati, plus not being able to learn it in New England or Miami and it all shows a bigger picture. Not to mention his outlandish behavior as a clown, which is typical of someone trying to cover up a perceived “flaw”.

And if that is the case, then shame on these schools. They pass these kids along , without any regard to their actual academic performance, thus not preparing them for the actual world. Another one is Vontae Davis. Just looking at him and his reaction to being traded, “can I call my grandma”, was enough for me to think he also had issues. It’s nothing new (see: Michael Oher), but it’s still frustrating. And in retrospect, makes me feel sorry for Chad in a lot of ways. Yes, he got paid millions to play a game, but in the most basic of senses, he is simply not prepared for life without football.

We have all made them at some point in our life. Sometimes when it rains it pours because of the decisions we made. No one really knows what exactly happened in the car that night, but he’s taking responsibility for his actions and thats a good first step. Chad seems like a cool guy, i hope gets another chance and he and Evelyn work things out.

Dude is a major mental case. He honestly and truly needs a psychotherapist….fo real, yo.

Miami will not be any good until Steve Ross and his band of goons has left town. Ross and Dee have turned the Dolphins into a minor league baseball team.

He didn’t/couldn’t do it…Then he goes to Miami & says the reason was his ‘personality’ was held back.

Too bad…guy has talent..but doesn’t have a brain.

He WILL be lucky to play another down in the NFL. The sadder issue to contemplate for him is simply what he can do for the next forty to fifty years of his life. Other than catching a ball, exactly what job skills or training/education does Chad have exactly? Immature actions indeed.

You got fortunate and got picked up by the WR needy Dolphins, getting another chance. You blew that by your stupidity and don’t deserve another chance because you were given another one already; you failed. I respected you before this debacle because I thought you were just a jovial load mouth but now I shouldn’t be too surprised when you are starting to show your more alike T.O. than we knew since he is your friend after all.

The problem is that once he made it to the “big time”, no one ever seemed to take him aside and say, “You’ve made it out of that hellhole, you’re not going back, now how about chanelling all that energy into your PLAY?”

My favorite seasons were the Jets and Ravens and I am a fan of neither, what made it entertaining was that the people from those two organizations actually display personalities.
I’m afraid that there will be no more Hard knocks after this crappy season and showing the butt crack of the NFL in the Miami Dolphins. I am a Bronco fan and would have loved to see Denver on the show, however the only teams that will now do the show are the lower tier teams like the dolphins because they can’t make money with the product on the field.

Your act was tolerated when you were a productive player. Not liked, tolerated. You’re not productive anymore, so NO ONE WANTS TO PUT UP WITH YOUR ACT.

Shut up and go away. Permanently.

All of the consistently successful franchises are way too smart to join that circus. The teams that have done it in the past have probably now realized it was a mistake.

If you are a loudmouth or troublemaker with diminishing skills, no team will pick you up (TO, Chad, Plax, Tiki & you can even throw Winslow in there too now). Santonio will be joining that group in the next year or 2.
