So let's talk about Chad Johnson wanting out of Cincy. Now even if I wasn't a Giants fan I'd believe that the Giants have a puncher's chance to pull the biggest upset of all time, but let's just say the Patriots do go 19 and 0 for this post's sake.
Chad Johnson can be the player to tip a team over the top to take down New England next year. Let's look at my top five prospects of teams Ocho Cinco can go to and be the "Randy Moss" to that team to take them over the edge to dethrone the Pats.
5. The Minnesota Vikings "What are you smoking?" is probably the first thoughts that came to your mind, but think about it. Tarvaris Jackson has made some stupid mistakes, but this team drops more balls then a group of boys hitting adolescence. They have one of the best running backs in the league, an under the radar defense, but their top receivers wouldn't start in NFL Europe. Adding Chad Johnson to this team would make this team an immediate Super Bowl contender, especially in the NFC. Teams would not be able to show Minnesota that 8 man box with Ocho Cinco out there so teams will have to pick their poison. Chad Johnson or Adrian Peterson. They both can kill you.
4. The Denver Broncos. Let's face it this team with the St. Louis Rams were the biggest busts of the past NFL season. Other than their awful run defense, Jay Cutler had no one to throw the ball to. Marshall and Stokeley are both slot receivers, not go to guys. Chad Johnson would be the receiver to make Cutler into the great quarterback that he can be. They still have Bailey and Bly in the secondary and some good linebackers in Denver. You don't have to worry about the run game in Denver with their blocking schemes, add Ocho Cinco as a receiver, fix your run defense (which Shanahan is probably doing right now) and this team will be back into the contender they should be.
3. The Tennessee Titans. You have a great quarterback in Vince Young, a solid defense, and an improving run game. You add Chad Johnson and this team can make a lot of noise. No explanation needed.
2. The San Diego Chargers. You have LT, Gates, and a great defense. The receivers showed show improvement and Chris Chambers was their "super star" edition, but even when he was in Miami I never saw him as that go-to reliable receiver. Add Chad Johnson to this team and you may have an offense that can break the records that New England put up this year.
1. The Jacksonville Jaguars. David Gerrard is the quarterback that was MADE for Chad Johnson. They could wear matching pimp suits during post game interviews. They all ready have the two running back attack you say? Well how much juice does Fred Taylor have left in him? Yes he's had some of his best years recently, but that injury bug could bite again, and even if it doesn't Chad Johnson would be the player to set this team over the top. They all ready have a suffocating defense. Gerrard doesn't make mistakes, but he doesn't have that big play receiver. You can't always rely on your two running backs to break one for a touchdown, Chad Johnson would give them the perfect play action game. This team WOULD be Super Bowl bound with Ocho Cinco.
I write my opinion like I'm chatting with my friends .I'm a college student. I go to the University at Albany. I'm a Psychology major as of now, and I'm not looking to spark a career off this blog. I just want to have some fun with this. I'm 20 years old. I'm from New York but I've only been a homer for the Giants during my life. Not too big on any other New York team except I'll jump on the Knicks bandwagon if they're doing good. I'm a big fan of the Lakers and Chargers. Other then UAlbany sports I'm a big fan of USC football and basketball. I'm a sucker for players though. I'll route for teams based on their superstars alone, especially when my teams aren't doing well. I try my best not to be bias with my opinion and I hope you enjoy my writing.
