So now I see...it isn't the fact that he is aging quickly and is no longer a top player....it isn't the fact that he could rarely find seperation with his defender,it isn't the fact that he couldn't run the right routes....
Ladies and gentlemen...the REAL reason why Chad was a failure was because the Patriots asked him to tone down his clown act for the season and not cause a media craze. What a joke!
Did he come out and directly blame the Pats?...no,but if you can't read between the lines.....

I'll grant him that when people are forced to be someone they aren't it can adversely affect them.
That being said - he couldn't learn the (admittedly somewhat complicated) offense and didn't even seem to have the speed or ability to get open on a straight sideline route.
It's tough to blame that on Belichick "not letting him be him"
When they signed Chad I was less than hopeful as I didn't think he showed he had much in the tank in 2010.
I wanted to be wrong. Unfortunately I was right.
