Ocho "Stinko" A Bad Move For Patriots

Well, the Patriots have made a lot of brilliant moves in the past such as Randy Moss, but today they made a bad one - a real bad one. In desperate need of a deep threat at wide receiver, the Triots traded for Chad Ocho "Stinko". Why? Stinko is not a true deep threat. He can't really stretch the field like the Patriots need. He wants to be a celebrity more than a great wide receiver. Most of all, he acts like a 15 year old and will never be a "pro" mentally.

The Triots could have went after other wide receivers such as Sidney Rice or Plaxico Burress. Rice has more upside than Stinko and Burress is more motivated right now after missing the last 2 seasons in prison. Both of these players act more professional on the field than Stinko. Stinko can't help himself when it comes to SHUTTING HIS MOUTH AND AVOIDING THE CAMERA. He will become a distraction on any team. He has to be in the spotlight and cannot just focus on football. Stinko will always say something or do something totally immature and stupid that will be a distraction from being the best player he can be and keeping his team from being the best they can be.

The Triots have already added a possible headache by acquiring Albert Haynesworth. However, Haynesworth is somewhat over a barrel if he wishes to continue playing football. If Haynesworth doesn't perform with the Triots, his career may be over. After literally giving no effort at all for the Redskins last year, Haynesworth has a lot to prove to a lot of people. If Haynesworth falls in line and gives good effort, he is worth the risk because he can contribute greatly to the Patriots pass rush, which was nonexistent last year.

Every NFL team needs players with some attitude or a mean streak. Squeaky clean teams don't reach the ultimate goal of winning the Super Bowl. The Patriots have been great at having a blend of the right personalities and attitudes in the locker room. You either do it the Patriot Way or you are shown the door. Ocho Stinko is the wrong guy for this locker room. He won't make a huge mistake to get shown the door. He will contribute just enough on the field, but off the field he will be that zit on the end of the Patriots nose - constantly reminding everyone he is here. Ocho Stinko will never learn how to just SHUT UP, WORK HARD, and LET HIS PLAYING DO THE TALKING!
