I wasn’t crazy about the Ocho stuff either, but the year he did the HOF jacket stunt he had 93 rec 1440 yds (career high) and 8 TD. He clearly had not gone “down hill” yet.

And blaming a guy who was easily top 5 at his position the majority of his career for his team not making the playoffs more is ridiculous. We didn’t make the playoffs more because Carson became a turnover machine, and we never had any defense (outside 2009).

Chad was a 2x All Pro and 6x Pro Bowler who put up huge number in the best division in football with the likes of Ray Lewis’ Ravens and the Steelers always having top defenses. He was also crazy durable all things considered.
