It may not at all, but age eventually will. He may play out his career like Rice for 4-5 more years, but the years of him being a deep threat + dangerous over the middle & tough to tackle are numbered.

I don't think he has 4 or 5 dominant years left either. But he is still putting up all world numbers. He's got 2 or 3 very good seasons left IMO. He is a total athletic/physical freak. Comparisons to Rice aren't really fair. Rice was never very physical or fast. He got by on finesse and second-to-none route running. TO is one of the best overall athletes in NFL history.
Remember how fast the Cowboys dumped Keyshawn when TO came into the fold? I know CJ is way better than Meshawn, but the point is you simply cannot have two personalities like that on the same team. I don't think Chad would be the problem of he became a Cowboy. I think TO would throw a fit though.
