At first glance, you're like "Ooohhh...Chad Johnson! That's great. A truly elite WR. I mean, I know he has some attitude problems, but maybe that's just his surroundings in Cincy. Look at what TO did making the leap to Dallas. He's been fine - and Chad Johnson isn't half the malcontent that TO is"....
And you might be right, if you thought like that.
But truthfully, I have never see a wide receiver berate, and openly show his displeasure with his QB the way that Chad Johnson does with Carson Palmer. He berates him on the way back to the huddle. If he was open and the pass wasn't on the money, he flails about like a child before going back to the huddle. If the series went poorly, and Palmer missed Johnson, Johnson is in his ear the whole way back to the bench.
By the end of this year it was clear that Carson was simply tired of his act. Tired of having to hear about every screw up he makes from Johnson. Tired of his demands for the ball.
And that's with Carson Palmer.
Can you imagine how he would treat Jason Campbell?
I can. And it makes me giddy.
