Do Bengal Fans Miss Chad Johnson??

Besides, the Bengals had drafted AJ Green and didn't speak to Chad in April when the lockout was temporarily lifted. He knew his Bengals career was finished.

2. It's really not that simple, Fred. The 2008 season was marred by injury and terrible QB play. This isn't debatable. It surely had a huge affect on his play. In 2009, he posted 1047 yards and 9 TDs. Not up to his previous standard, but we weren't passing as much. Carson had a measly 466 attempts and 3094 yards. Chad accounted for 33.8% of the total passing yards. In a more typical 4000 yard season, that would've calculated to 1352 yards. By 2010, we added numerous weapons including TO, Shipley and Gresh. Chad was 32 and it's just as easy to argue that he was on the decline as it is to say he wasn't giving 100%.

3. It was a headbutt and it didn't happen as a Bengal. It kills me anytime people rip any players off field incidents while at the same time we cheer for a guy like Pacman. Lets be honest, most of these guys aren't saints off the field.

4. Terrible analogy. Chad asking for a trade and then playing the entire season through a torn labrum is nothing like my wife screwing my best friend. That would be more like James Harrison leaving the Steelers to play for the Bengals. Steelers fans still love James BTW. 

James Harrison and Brett Favre have taken their teams to the promise land. And the Packers were horrid for years until Favre. Plus both men are active in those communities presently.

 Chad compares well with Carl Pickens though, except Pickens had worse QB's than Chad.

Pickens had in 8 years  540 rec. For 7,129 yds 63 tds.
Chad had in 12 years ....766 rec for 11,059 yds 67tds.

So their average per year was

Carl..................................Chad
67.5 rec..........................63.83 rec
891 yds...........................921 yds
7.8 tds.............................5.5 tds

No slam, Really liked Carl Pickens but a comparison to Brett Favre is absurd.
