they are cheering that further mistakes aren't made in keeping him, and good money isn't thrown after bad.

Mostly some people are celebrating that their judgment has been validated by BB against other opinions on this board.

Personally, I maintained cautious optimism on CJ until I read the training camp reports and saw the games this preseason. I'm happy Chad is gone because he wasn't living up to what an NFL-caliber wide receiver needs to be.

The funniest thing is those who somehow or other are still convinced his tremendous physical skills and measurables (which he has) will translate at some point into consistent NFL wide receiver skills. I just don't get it. But maybe CJ will catch lightning in a bottle because that's what I think it will take for him to have anything more than a mediocre career.

I expected it. I was surprised that he wasn't cut yesterday but today is a different story. Will Cassel be another surprise? I hope so.
