Chad just panicked. The heat was on and he couldn't respond. There are a shitload of guys who have all the physical skills but just can't perform when something is expected of them. Example: I saw Henry Burris as the Packers' 3rd string QB in a 2001 pre-season game. The kid looked like he had the stuff. I was giddy like a hooker on half-off Tuesday when I heard the Bears signed him off their practice squad. Kid could scramble, had arm strength. I even put him on my franchise on Madden 2002 (even though he was ranked like 57 overall) and won a title w/ him. From the first snap of his first preseason game as a Bear, when he knew people were starting to whisper about him being a sleeper prospect, he wet the bed. He wet it every time he saw action that season. He is now in Canada where nothing special is demanded of him and where he knows he can be at least halfway decent.
