We'll just pretend he also didn't play with other weapons and (at times) dogshit QBs, right?
Come on; Chad wasn't protected by other players, was double teamed, had dogshit throwing to him for his first 2 years and all of 2008 and still LED THE CONFERENCE in yards.
Using the excuse that, "there were too many weapons," is complete BS (and you know it).

Stop with the excuses. The guy is Bengal great, but he is not at the level of AJ, Chad, Collinsworth or Pickens. The numbers prove it, the peers prove it and he's the only one to have an NFL MVP throwing it to him, outside of Collinsworth (and Pickens for 1 year with Boomer).
I have yet to see a single one of you, "Curtis 1st," people, post or provide any TANGIBLE, physical evidence or numbers, in this argument. Just excuses and, "he looked better."
Stop.
Scott Mitchell..Akili Smith...really....Chad wasnt even a starter his rookie year.
Chad was a raw talent out of OSU.
you act like Chad played multiple seasons with Mitchell and Smith.
Btw,Kitna was a.better QB than you remember. He threw for 41 TDs and 31 INTs
2-seasons as a starter.
Curtis could do everything Chad Johnson did on the field.
Curtis played in a era where teams barely threw over 26 times a game.
Chad dominated no question.
But.you need to realize he played in a era where physicality was the norm
And Ike even had a rule made cause of him
