Isn't that slightly harsh?
Sure, he seriously underperformed last year in relations to his contract, but Belichick knew what he was signing up for when he brought him to this team. Obviously, things didn't work out and, frankly, I'm not convinced he'll ever pick up the playbook. I see the Patriots parting ways with Ocho unless something miraculous happens.

Well Duane Thomas was sent back and led the Cowboys to a Super Bowl even though he refused to speak to anyone including the coach all season (Maybe a lesson for Chad Johnson, if that's his name this week).
Steve Kiner froze in place from an LSD flashback or something, while the RB ran right by him, but he made most tackles, when he wasn't in a daze and was funny enough. (probably my biggest gripe with oucho. Like most narcissist attention whores, he's not funny and never was funny. It's all about doing anything odd to draw attention. It's boring, even if he wasn't a total failure and a disgrace to the organization.)
Irving Fryar was a multiple threat on the field and an exponential threat off it. Even getting his hand stabbed by his wife or totaling his car during half time of a game (I can't remember how, but he did it) the guy could still play some ball and you just had to laugh since he managed not to kill himself. Sucked he found salvation with the fins, but whatever.
Joe Kapp held the organization up for a record contract when he actually wasn't worth crap any more which was funny only in a perverse way. He couldn't throw well enough to make a girl's intramural team, but at least he'd punch a D lineman in the face and run over him on third down. it's not like he was sitting on the bench all season because he couldn't read the play book. Don't think he
could read, to tell you the truth.
Disappointing, sure. But not annoying total losses that should just go away, like whatshisname.
