I don’t think TO really went over the top behaviorally until he had a lot of success. But it was a long time ago to remember. 
 

 

It didn't reach ridiculous levels until he left SF. 

The shirtless situps in the driveway kicked off the ridiculous era.

I think you've forgotten much of his antics. There is much that had already happened before he was doing sit-ups in his driveway. To be fair though, he did very much age out in regards to behavior.

A lot of his "antics" were generally nothingburgers inside of a locker room. It was the locker room stuff that got him passed around. All that outside football stuff was only meaningful to the media and by proxy the fans.

Exactly. He should be smart enough not to be fuging around with internet edge lords but duping an NFL star into doing something like this on camera unknowingly is exactly the type of poo they do for clicks which is exactly why he should be smart enough not to fug around with them.

I have no idea who those fat kids he is with are. If they are streamers, he should have a team around him smart enough to intercept those kind of "opportunities" and shut them down.

Might just not have been publicly known before that. Social media probably wasn't as big a deal back then either.

I know some of the crazy sh-t Charles Haley did was kept under wraps for quite a while.

If you listen to teammates going back to SF he was always a complete nut. Not always in a really bad way, just a general nut. 

I think the steadily increasing platform amplified his ability to broadcast what a complete nutter he was, therefore all the extra press followed. 

The only really bad poo that he truly did was creating some locker room rifts a couple of his latter stops. That's the kind of poo that will really make you wear out your welcome. Sounds kind of similar to all the stuff that is coming out about Chris Paul and his split with the Clippers in the NBA. Eventually you aren't a good enough player to deal with all your BS.

He never reached the level of Aaron Hernandez

Was watching when that happened.

The assistant or whatever she was that talked about "a man of his statue" didn't exactly help things.

For the most part yes. Joining the cheerleaders to cheer on a touchdown when he was on the Niners is harmless.

His repeated solo look-at-me celebration on the Dallas star rubbed a few the wrong way.

All in all, major talent, and I wouldn't be surprised at all to hear he still thinks he could play on Sundays, if some team would only give him a shot.

I will say that as bad as some coaches can be about wanting to fix headcase players, fans are worse.

A while back, somebody on here wanted us to go after Titus Young.

Think he would beat out XL for a spot on Sunday?

Sign him up.

I am willing to bet he wouldn't finish a game with -2 yards.

Fitz is criminally underrated because he wasn't a freak of an athlete. He's #2 on the all-time receiving yards list by a comfortably margin and #6 for TDs. He's another guy that I wouldn't put at #2 but the argument can be made. 

Id probably say Rice, Moss, TO, then a bunch of guys can be argued for top 5 for the other 2 slots
