Really?I also think that he can connect with brady better than we have seen. there was too much productivity from the like os kitna, frerotte, palmer throwing to him to just assume it can't work here
Everything you say makes sense. I guess I'd spin it a little differently.
I think that a guy who's contributed to the league's brand and, let's face it, to the rarely seen "fun" side of the NFL and who has been a very good player under another system (as in, "Run down field and I'll throw it to you" vs. "Run precisely 14.552 yards down field, pause for a beat and then either cut across the middle or keep running down field depending on where the Safety is playing") deserves a chance to "save face" as he exits an organization like the Pats.
And, if he's willing to play for a little above scale plus incentives, I'd still keep him...at that level, all we need from him is one big game-changer in one big game. Otherwise, I can't disagree with you on the substance.
Ocho has done nothing.
Thats the point!
Then let the league take up a collection and pay him. Oh wait, they did. He got his full share playoff money all the way to the superbowl...a first for him.
I for one have never appreciated his antics, particularly when he donned the HOF jacket and then there was that time he punched out Hue Jackson during halftime... Chad has been well paid for his empty statistical accomplishments. Just ask Marvin Lewis. He's been overpaid for his time in NE by about $5M. Enough already.
I really like Chad but not as a Patriot any longer unless he somehow can show improvement on the field. He was one of the past season's most frustrating mysteries.
So you think that justifies calling him a "twitterholic Hollywood POS," among other things?
It's unfortunate he didn't work out last year, but I'm not sure why that's supposed to engender ill will. Especially in light of the praise he's gotten from the team and the fact he's been, by all accounts, a model teammate.

Doesn't belong in the NFL anymore,washed up but trying to hang onto a team to steal a ring while contributing about the same as Doug Gabriel in terms of production ....he hasn't even been that good a few years before he left Cincy,his train has passed the station.
Tiquan fu(king Underwood was able to leap frog Ocho and learn the system faster and some of you want Stinko back for another 300 yard season?
You have to be fu(king kidding me.
If you want an entertaining player and a funny guy on the team then sign Bozo from Ringling Bros. to a 1 year contract.
Some players don't know when its time to go,they just don't have it anymore.
I don't know what any of this has to do with the point I was making.
All this invective, yet BB has chosen to offer him another contract. Clearly you know more than he. I tip my cap to you.Doesn't belong in the NFL anymore,washed up but trying to hang onto a team to steal a ring while contributing about the same as Doug Gabriel in terms of production (yes,Doug Gabriel had more yards and more TDs in 2006 but no one wanted him back either)....he hasn't even been that good a few years before he left Cincy,his train has passed the station.

The because there was no off season, and a decade of playing in a completely different system, OCHO didn't "get" the Pats complex offense for most of the season. That was clear to everyone. Then when he got on the field he was always the 4th or 5th option. There are numerous reports that by the end of the season, he HAD "gotten" the offense, but by then he was still just Brady's 4th or 5th option.
