If Chad Johnson is an NFL veteran... How is it hard for him to learn a playbook??

[The_Sheff]

Let me school you to something. Ratings make television pop, which in turn means dollars.

No business man in that industry will leave this up to "chance" when he knows that he can influence certain instances in the show, that would evoke a response from viewers that benefits him monetarily.

That's like saying that college football is a free and true competition sport with no outside influence that embodies the true nature of competition

So according to you Hard Knocks is scripted. Was Chad headbutting that bytch and getting cut part of the plan to boost ratings? So my nikka just chilling on a beach somewhere sipping Mai Tais enjoying life while the show goes on?

Says the fact that everyone has always raved about Moss' football IQ from Minnesota, to Oakland to New England to San Fran.

To the fact that one of the 5 greatest quarterbacks of all time co-sign Moss as being brilliant. Such accolades he enver gave to Chad.

Chad didn't have an offseason last year, sure. This year he was still fukking up and Deion Branch was having to tell him where to go.

The fact is this, Chad Johnson spent a decade in one system and after that decade he was forced to learn something completely different and he had to ignore instincts and everything else. All that Welker wasn't shyt in MIA stuff is not true because he was putting up decent numbers but never had a Brady type of QB. He was progressively getting better every year.

But how is that relevant to Chad?

All this talk about a white player being criticized that way is pointless because most dominant wide receivers are black. So who exactly are we supposed to be talking about? Plenty of whtie QBs get criticized for being trashed, Kurt Warner has been getting at Kolb all summer. This is just a case of guys coming to the argument with pre-made talking points and attaching them to anything that is tangentially related. You all have agendas and won't admit it. This isn't the right fight.

I asked 3 questions. you didnt answer 1 of them.

White QBs get trashed, after they get their money. Kolb got a big contract off 9 games. Flynn got a nice deal off 58 minutes. No other position can get it like that, especially not a black QB. Its not an agenda, its just real life staring you in the face. Just calling it like I see it. Your response was great.

I don't deny those guys get overrated, but Jamarcus ate the same way (literally). The thing is, being from New England, you have no idea how much the fan base wanted that guy to succeed. We were ALL behind him. My mom doesn't even watch football and wanted Ocho to get it in. At the end of the day he never earned Brady's trust. I couldn't believe this dude Ocho wasn't on the field more in that SB with Gronk hurt. We needed him.

Talk about derailing a thread. This race baiting troll took this sunnofabytch 6 pages even though 3 different posters pointed out that Chad himself told the media he didnt get the playbook on the first page, which is where the whole story line originated from.

This shyt might a record.

Only made it one post, before I commented. Is this a racial thread?

The OP didnt make one, but this PV dude certainly has.

You betcha. Dudes grasp for straws when it comes to the race shyt..its fukking disgusting.

Over Chads understanding of offensive concepts tho? This can't be life.

I'm still tryna figure out how Chad being dumb = all black WR's are dumb. It's even more stupid to say because the majority of all WR's in the history of the NFL are black and I'm pretty sure they didn't have issues with their offense.


On topic:

Running sight adjust routes at full speed is hard as hell for anyone, but it's especially hard when you've lined up at one side for 2 decades and told directly which route to run. NE was the first time Chad probably ever had to line up in a different position in a set. All he had to hear before was whatever referenced his position, but in NE he had to pay attention to everything. Also, for reference, the plays they say aren't your basic "eagle right 425 swing" plays you heard in high school or junior high school. The playbooks are 6 inches thick and the plays take 10 seconds just to say.

Yeah i dont get it. This shyt just falls on Chad. I mean, NE's offense is about as complex as it can get and coming from one system to another is tough. Even in Miami though dude still couldnt grasp it. He probably just cant play in those complex offenses.

Shoulda used a cheat sheet

^This.


It's not really a knock on Chad. Dude played one system for a decade. He ran said system for a decade. Then he comes to NE and it is, read the D, read Tommy, make the play...



shyt, I did not envy dude at all(No OTA'S no TC b/c of the Lockout). And I am still rooting for chad. But it is what it is.

I came down on Chad pretty hard, but he's been taking Ls left and right. I gave him a pass in NE...but idk if he has one for the Miami ordeal

Chad was not making Miami's 53. Philbin was Green Bays OC, Chad never fit. Chad was Ross's and Irelands hard knocks experiment, to sell tickets.

I would understand the Race card with Chad better, if Ross's name was mentioned more...

This dude Peter Vescey is nuttier than squirrel shyt. Everything that doesn't match his world view is either a conspiracy or not true.

Ziplock bags keep out more radio waives than tinfoil hats. Why don't you seal your head in one, a small one should fit perfectly.

With all the white boy responses in here, nann one of them still didn't answer my question on when has a white football player been denigrated for not knowing the playbook.

Maybe if I was Mike Lupica I would get a stronger discussion in here.
