No. I like Ochocinco, but if Palmer had a problem with having two "me" receivers on one team... then most quarterbacks will. He can go elsewhere.
Wow. no thanks. Not ever. Not in a million years. His best is well behind him, and he can't keep his mouth shut, or behave if his life depended on it.
He's still decent, but he's lost speed last few years. Would much rather add a draftee who can burn ala recent picks like Mike Wallace or Jacoby Ford or Johny Knox. I don't see how he upgrades us at this point.
Agree with everyone here really. No thanks. We need a play maker with speed at the position. Age is a factor also and no one needs his attitude.
He would probably come to Miami because he loves it there, but I don't think he is the right guys for us. If we had a veteran QB who could keep him in check then maybe, but now how it stands.
I honestly think he would be the right guy for us. Seriously. Disregard his on the field antics...Let's just look at it a bit closer. Having a guy like Ocho will definitely free up Marshall A LOT. Look at what Ocho did for TO this year. If we do stick with Henne (which I hope), then a veteran receiver is better for a young QB than a rookie receiver. Not to mention, everyone wants more "excitement" with this team and offense. Would Ocho not bring that to Miami? I honestly never wanted to go nuts this year in free agency, but every day I am hearing new things and liking our options. If we don't go hard after Ochocinco I will be pretty disappointed. Bringing in him allows us to use our 1st or 3rd round pick (maybe 2nd if we do get back into the 2nd) for something else, like RB, OLine, etc... Marshall-Ochocinco-Bess-Hartline-Marlon Moore or Roberto Wallace or a rookie <-That would make our offense much better instantly. I think we can handle Ocho. I mean comeon...we have Channing Crowder, Brandon Marshall, Vontae Davis, and Richie Incognito on our team right now.
I like "85" but we need someone to throw the ball to him too! LOL And someone to run the ball, hopefully Brown is coming back but if not, WR is the least of our concerns. IMO.
2 big things that are wrong with your statements: 1) we should keep Chad Henne 2) you're implying that if we don't get OchoCinco that we should draft a WR in the first day, which is insane considering the other gaping holes this team has. If we get even a good (not great QB) and an OC who doesn't have his head up his arse, our WR corps is definitely good enough. All we need is to bring in a FA WR that can stretch the field. OchoCinco is not that guy. All he cares about is doing TV commercials and reality shows.
not only has he lost speed, he has lost his size, his hunger, and his mind.. My prediction For #85...he gets cut, than commits to a reality show that follows his comeback to another team....he was so much cooler when he slept at the facilities cause he wanted to be great.
Funny we bring up Chads speed but most on here have no problem with Bess. Watching Bess run makes me long for the days of Oronde.
Bess belongs inside where its about agility and quickness in and out of breaks. I would prefer a legit speed guy opposite Marshall assuming he's back. Either him or Sparano has to go this offseason.
Bess speed is different...its quick...its not deep game breaking speed. Ocho doesnt fullfill a need. We already have Marshall, and Hartline...and Id take Hartline over Ocho anyways. We need Ted Ginn speed with Devone Bess guts and hands....
I think Ocho is better than Hartline. Hartline is younger and still developing but he along with almost everyone on O can be upgraded. Either way I don't see Ocho being here but if he were I wouldn't be upset. He'll let the world know where he wants to go for sure.
I don't think we need the headache. We have Marshall and that is enough when it comes to the mouth and attitude at that position. Two of them on the team isn't a good thing. Sure TO put up very good numbers this year, but Palmer suffered because he felt like he always had to feed the ball to both of them. Getting Ocho would be bad, very bad.
like the guy, but the problem is @ QB we'd be better off with Palmer or whoever wouldn't fix or improve what isn't broken too much to replace to worry with 85 real & immediate problems: QB, Center, Guard, RB then of lesser importance: TE to compliment/compete Fasano, ReturnSpecialist, stud ILB
At this point (age 33), I don't think he gives you much if anything that Hartline doesn't already. And he's a QB killer. He doesn't bring that for which we lack (speed). I don't think he takes any pressure off Marshall.
We don't need that character here plus he tweets out injury stuff which is against team policy, even Bill Cowher snapped on him for doing thay. That guy is a headcase on the field and a reality show off the field. Plus he loves calling other players out via twitter.
That's just what we need. Chad Johnson to ***** and gripe about not getting the ball along with Brandon Marshall *****ing and griping about not getting the ball. If that were to happen, God help whatever young quarterback this team will try to be breaking in.
