Deep threat wise, Price, Slater and Ocho are MIA.

Ocho clearly isnt happy here in NE. His Twitter life is a shell of what it once was. No more is Ocho the big NFL celebrity causing a stir with his zany antics. Every game gets more painful to watch. 6 games in and its just not working out. The Pats are already on the hook for the 4.75 Mil, but Ocho will be 34 next season and the Pats need to give Welker a new deal.

At least Randy Moss would run the correct route and Brady would trust him to catch the ball.

Thats not the case with Ocho.

It Is What It Is » Is this the end of Chad Ochocinco in New England?

Thanks for linking an article 4 days old. Not sure how you could have missed something so wonderfully negative.

Whats positive about Ocho?

That his Prius gets 39 mpg.

See you Ocho! Have a nice vacation with the rest of the team. See you at practice on Monday. And see you in the game against Pittsburgh.

Ochocinco is not getting cut. Randy Moss is not coming back.

Get over it already. For better or worse, Ochocinco will finish the year on the Patriots. I have never seen so much debate over the #3 WR/5th receiving option.

And as for Moss, if the Pats were ever going to consider bringing him back, he would have already been back when Taylor Price was injured. Moss is done. People need to stop fantasizing that he has anything left.

Other than his pay I don't get the big deal. People obsess over Moss and Ocho. He is the 5th receiver in this system. It's not like he is going to get a lot of looks, time, or make a huge impact right now. He is obviously better than price because he is getting the snaps.

He's here. He is staying. Moss is not coming back. The Pats have one of, if not the best offense in the NFL.

102 Pat

I think the problem here is that too many people expected him to come here and put up numbers a la Moss 2007.

This offseason, it's almost like Belichick is saying, "I'm never going to let that happen again."

Oh Man. Another duplicate thread based on a speculative and DUPLICATE article written by a lazy writer with nothing better to do during the by week.

For the record and also repetitive. The Pats have the BEST passing offense in the league. Ocho is the FIFTH option among receivers for the Pats. It is what it IS. If you want to beat him up for not beating out Branch, then go ahead. But to beat him up because he is the 5th option is just an example of lazy writers having NOTHING else to write. Never in the history of the game has a 5th option been the subject of so much speculation

The Pats are already on the hook for $6M Chad received this season...which surpasses the TOTAL EARNINGS of Welker, Branch, Price, Gronkowski and Hernandez this season... $5.95M. He will be with us again next season either in person or in spirit (dead cap $3.16M). From both a compensation model standpoint as well as system fit standpoint it is in combination one of the more glaring value mistakes Bill has made in his tenure.

Why they extended him rather than simply insist he take a prove it deal like all the other reclamation projects is just beyond me.

MoLewisrocks

Actually I think the problem here is that Bill expected him to come here and put up numbers that would eclipse Welker and Branch... Otherwise paying him $6M this year makes no sense...

I am still having a wait-and-see approach considering how awesome Brady's chemistry is right now with Welker/Branch/Gronk/Hernandez.

Maybe higher # of deep throws are part of our offensive strategy after the bye week. If that is happens, hopefully Ocho capitalizes and gives us a return for the $ we invested in him.
