A great player/talent but a terrible example for teammates.  Compare him to AJ and you get the complete opposite.  Guarantee Chad would have had an even better career had he devoted his idle time to football rather than entertainment and McDonald's cheeseburgers.

Carson and Marvin both wanted out because Mike Brown refused to make changes they felt were cost-of-entry for running a professional franchise in the NFL, not because of Chad and/or TO.  I figured 6 years without a playoff win and a legit 6-win season post-Chad and TO would have opened people's eyes to the notion that 2 WRs who haven't been on the team for years weren't the reason the Bengals couldn't get it done, but nope.

26 years of Mike Brown and no legit success.  Maybe if it were 50 years we wouldn't bother blaming a WR who played 14 games here.
