Are the New England Patriots treating Chad Ochocinco fairly? I don't think so. The Patriots are barley letting Ocho have playing time.I have to disagree with your opinion. I feel like the Patriots are giving Ochocinco as much playing time as he deserves. He has not yet earned his spot as a starting receiver for the Patriots. He is just not the same wide receiver as he was on the Bengals. Just two weeks ago, the Patriots played the Bills. Chad was playing in the fourth quarter with about eight minutes left to go. Tom Brady threw a perfect TD pass to Chad, but he dropped it. The Patriots were able to later score a touchdown, but it took up five more minutes. The Bills had just enough time to kick the game wining field goal as time expired. If Chad Ochocinco were to catch that ball, the Patriots could have gotten the ball back and won the game. This strengthened the doubts on if Ochocinco could still be a top notch wide receiver.
He was on the Bengals his entire career and now has to learn an entirely new play book. New plays and a new play book is hard to adjust to in a short period of time. Also, Chad is getting old. As Nick said, he has been in the NFL for 11 years, and he is now 33. Last season with the Bengals was one of the worst seasons of his career, even though he started in almost every game. Nick said that in 2006, he lead the league in receiving, but that was five years ago. He is not the same player now. Hopefully, Chad Ochocinco will soon learn the team better and earn his starting spot.
