DesperateDerelict Posted January 29, 2008 Report Posted January 29, 2008 Does this bring any Bengal to mind?Nope. Quote
DC_Bengals_Fan Posted January 29, 2008 Report Posted January 29, 2008 Despite his immaturity, I don't get the impression right now that the Bengals' players dislike Chad in the way that the Giants players apparently can't stand Tiki. I do think there's a point where the time the team has to spend trying to get Chad to act like an adult could be spent elsewhere.The question is, what Chad do we get this year? He's still one of the best WRs in the game if he gets his head straight. He runs precise routes when he's not running the wrong one. He can make incredible catches, but he also gets a case of dropsy sometimes (like this past year). He has the best sideline technique of any receiver I think I've ever seen. Only hole in his game is whenever he has to be physical, which shows up in his inability to get YAC or blocks downfield.There are a lot of issues to work out. Can he and Carson get on the same page in terms of routes? Can he get his hands back to where they were? Is he going to keep trying to weasle a trade out of town? Is he willing and able to dedicate himself to winning next year in Cincinnati?I don't know if anyone other than Chad knows the answer to those questions, and that's the problem. Quote
DesperateDerelict Posted January 29, 2008 Report Posted January 29, 2008 I thought he was talking about Corey. Quote
DC_Bengals_Fan Posted January 29, 2008 Report Posted January 29, 2008 I thought he was talking about Corey.That was my second guess, but from the timeliness of it I assumed Chad. If so, I can only assume that if we trade Chad we'll get to the Super Bowl.I don't get to read the Cincinnati media much, are people making much of him supposedly wanting a trade to the 'Fins? Quote
Sportsdoc Posted January 29, 2008 Report Posted January 29, 2008 Sounds just like Kevin Kaesveharn. Glad he left. Our defense got much better. Quote

He was a capable backup coverage safety who stepped up big when forced into a starting role. And, if memory serves me correctly, iced a couple of games with big-time picks.He wasn't an all-pro, and he's not a guy you'd intentionally enter the season as a starter, but let's give the guy some credit.

walzav29 Posted January 30, 2008 Author Report Posted January 30, 2008 I thought of Chad to be honest. I love him and think he's a talent, but it seems that his teammates resent him. WIllie, Rudi, TJ, Palmer, and Chad. Which one of these seem not to fit? They're all pro-bowlers, but Chad is a different type of player. Quote
