havefaith Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 Here we go again. Chad playing his LIST games and annc'g upcoming endzone games. Just PLAY BALL dude. Talent out the arse, but his antics end up getting in the way. Again showing that the coach has control issues with some players. Do you think a Bill Parcels team would have a player like this?

havefaith Posted September 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 lol - Have you seen Miamis WR's. Parcells would love to have Chad.Yea yea, on a good BP team, he would not put up with that crap. We saw how it all ended up the last time he did this stuff. I just think it is over the top. It gets in the press, everyone has their fun with it and before you know it's "what chad ganna say or do next" and not "why isn't he getting more TD's or tackling the dude that just intercepted him and ran it back for X amount of yards". All that happened when he was in full swing with that stuff the the wheels fell off the bengal bus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havefaith Posted September 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 Look at the Colts. They have a good team over the last years and was much of that crap happening there? NOPE. They were winning, not looking for the next PRESS SPOT on TV and Radio. Look at T.O great player but he is bouncing around like a pin ball anymore. Wonder why? BECAUSE OF HIS ANITICS. They think it is all about them, not the team! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bwillycuse Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 Chad is the leading all time receiver for the Bengals. List or no list I am glad he is here. He is eccentric. He has the mentality of a child but you know what? - minus last year - he is generally a good guy looking to have fun. He is in awesome shape and runs the best routes of almost any WR out there. His head IS in the game this year and he isnt complaining about getting the ball. He wants to win. I think he is playing good football so far this year.His lists are harmless IMO. I couldn't really care less what he tweets about or what he u-streams or if the mariachi band will be playing this sunday at the stadium when he scores.

SupaBran Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 I completely disagree!!! Chad is the kinda guy that gets amped up by challenging other players, that in turn challenges himself. That's when he's at his best. It doesn't show that Marvin doesn't have any control, what Chad is doing only makes him better. I hate everyone ripping Chad for whatever he does, give him a break! I'll take Chad's "antics", if that's what you call his Lambeau Leap, if it means 90 yards and a touchdown every week! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyline Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 I've had my issues with Chad in the past, but this isn't one of them. He's just having fun...I really do believe that he performs better when he's like this. It's his way of getting pumped for a game.You can want him to be a Marvin Harrison or Reggie Wayne type all you want, but it's just not going to happen. That's not who he is. Lists aside, he's saying and doing all the right things, so I've got no complaints. When, in a million years, would we have expected to hear him say in an interview that he loves the Bengals' new dedication to the running game? That's just crazy talk...

havefaith Posted September 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 I hope I am wrong but I think I may not be. Sure it pumps him up but at what cost to everyone else. How short of memory we have of Carson ripping off the OCHO CINCO patch of his jersey last season I think it was. Carson was not PUMPED UP for it!

bwillycuse Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 I hope I am wrongYou are. You are..kidding - I think we are missing the point. Today is hate on Hines Ward day and for the rest of the week. Its not the time to be saying anything bad about our Bengals. Need to focus.

havefaith Posted September 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 Wards hit was legal for what? YEARS beofre they changed the rules on it. I think it was a dirty play but legal with in the rules of the time. He was just playing ball hard and making an impact on the field with his play. I just would like to see that out of Chad BEFORE he starts his games off field. He has not proven much yet. One Lambo leap does not make a season.

Kazkal Posted September 24, 2009 Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 If Chad wants to act like Goof but still produce I say let him...He's not hurting anyone and he's actually motivated himself...Would you rather have him return to 2008 form?

I don't get that argument, they changed it to an illegal hit now b/c it was so dirty and unneccessary!!!I agree with bwillcuse, now is not the time for this kinda talk, every topic should be about hating the Squeelers or something productive about the Bengals!

havefaith Posted September 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 Tim, your complaints and shtik are very 2007.Yawn.Thats fair. But Chad was acting like this in 07 and look what it got us, 2007 off season off the chart antics, last years pathetic year from him. I think they win this week but I think Chad does little from the 20 yard line in! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
membengal Posted September 24, 2009 Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 I am seeing NO parallels between 2007 CJ and 2009 CJ. And you are stretching with bitching about the board to make it so, frankly.Like I said, yawn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havefaith Posted September 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 We shall see. Personally I'd like to see Henry get more shots at the ball. He has kept his ass out of trouble. He had shown good talent before his troubles. Bengals need to work him into the game more this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chad hasn't proven much? Go look at some stats for the league after 2 games and tell me how ocho is looking. Take a look at active wide receivers' numbers since 2001 and tell me he hasn't proven anything. Crimanitely man. We beat a broncos team in the season opener on a stellar 91 yard drive.We beat GB in lambeau with a dominant performance on both sides of the ball.We head into steeler's week with a head full of steam about to beat them in PBS for the first time in a long time.People think we should cut carson and chad.Some bengals' fans are just beyond me.

BengalPimp Posted September 24, 2009 Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 I've always defended Chad, even when so many others bashed him....Chad is pure entertainment, and funny as hell. The dude's one of the best receivers in the league, and many had written him off after last season's decline in numbers. Forget the fact that he didnt have Carson most of the year, forget the fact that he played hurt, with a bum shoulder. Forget that he is a deep-threat who was playing with noodle-arm Fitzpatrick, who by the way couldnt throw more than 15 yds downfield if his life depended on it.Chad is who he is, and I respect that. There will always be people who bash him. Whether its for his antics, celebrations, twittering, or heaven forbid he gets injured, his stats. Chad is exciting, and fun to watch. He is also a competitor, he works harder on and off the field than damn near anyone. He is in phenomenal shape, and will have a HUGE year. IF YOU DONT LIKE HIM............DONT WATCH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!P.S. If you could Chad, please score this week at Pittsburgh, and for your celebration...............wipe your bottom with their terrible towel !

ArmyBengal Posted September 24, 2009 Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 I have been one of the bigger F*CK YOU CHAD fan club members recently with a few others and with all of that being the case, I don't currently have issue with Chad. He has done exactly, what those of us that have bitched about him, wanted to see from him. He's focused and in watching him to this point, is obviously in shape. He's once again one of the guys that HAS to be accounted for and once again, makes the others WR's better.Am I ready to simply forget all the douchery of 2008 and before that caused problems for this team ?? NO WAY IN HELL. However, that's not the feel I'm getting from Chad at this point and you can look no further than the players comments about changes in the locker room and other aspects of how things go with the team.Until Chad shows he's no longer the WR we think he should be, color me unconcerned. Heck, it's actually amusing me again to be quite honest.If he reverts back to his bad habits, then so will the fan base. Until then, I say role with it and be happy. Just me...

Just play football and if he keeps the other stuff down to a low roar, I'll take it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derekshank Posted September 24, 2009 Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 This ranks fairly low on my list of stuff to hate Chad about.What I don't like about this is that he is still the same douchebag who tanked last season. He's still the same douchebag who got into a fight at halftime in a playoff game. He's still the same douchebag that has continually been willing to take a 15 yard penalty to "entertain" the fans.But I'm not going to get worked up about his antics. My opinion on Chad has been amazingly clear. I'll gladly accept the production he gives the Bengals - but still wish the Bengals would have accepted that trade from Washington a couple years back.

Just play football and if he keeps the other stuff down to a low roar, I'll take it.I'm the other third of the 'anti-Chad' tribune on this forum. He's still Fredo to me. I wrote an article before opening game for him to just shut his yap and play. This past game, he showed me something in terms of being a productive Bengal once again. He gutted it out, made a couple of key plays and even scored. I couldn't care less about his Lambeau Leap, but he produced.So, with Army and COB, I'm backing off. Don't like the guy and I'll never see him like I did prior to the playoff game, but when he produces, I shut up.So, Tim, if Army, COB and I can back off, and you'd have to review our post histories to see that your Ocho complaints just don't rank with those of us who have creatively re-named Fredo in the past, let the man rack up a hundred on Pittsburgh, hopefully six or so on top of that, and...FOCUS!

HairOnFire Posted September 24, 2009 Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 So, with Army and COB, I'm backing off. Don't like the guy and I'll never see him like I did prior to the playoff game, but when he produces, I shut up. That almost describes my own feelings. Where you guys start losing me is the idea that Chad is being so productive right now that it trumps all other issues, including past transgressions. Granted, he's not sucking now, but is that the standard we're prepared to accept? Again, 1800 yards and 12 TD's. That's what the Bengals once said Chad was capable of producing for THIS team as it's primary recieving option within THIS offensive scheme. So if I don't like the guys circus act, and I very clearly don't, then why should I accept less than those standards? f**k Chad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically, I'm just happy I don't have to hear all the bullsh*t we have had to deal with over the past few seasons from Chad. I'm not about to forgive his ass for how he completely spit in the faces of the fans begging for his way out. I think it's more than just his own stats though and I look at what he does for the younger WR's we currently have and their development. Caldwell is a perfect example. He's getting his chances at catching balls because (I think) Chad is more focused and teams once again have to focus more on him. If this continues and Chad keeps his mouth shut, all I'm willing to do is back off of him. Forgive or at least forget?? Yeah, F*CK YOU CHAD !!!Do your job and thank you...
