Dallas did sell at the right time, props to the scouts on that deal, his production finally got to a point where you could no longer tolerate the drama.

I would have loved TO's time here so much more if he hadn't have dropped so many key passes.


Dez Bryant, Receiver. A man who's season is over. Gentlemen, the Cowboy's staff can rebuild him. We have the technology. We have the capability to make the world's first super human receiver.
Dez Bryant will be that man. Better than he was before. Better.... Stronger..... Faster......

For a guy who was only here for about 5 mins, he sure put a hold on some of the fans.
I heart TO.

TO wasn't the problem but whatever.

Garrett just makes it more and more apparent that this whole mess has been his fault. Including the Wade era.

TO was just used as an excuse for every problem the team had. Fans wanted someone other than Romo to point the finger of blame at and TO was the most obvious target. Most Cowboy fans hated TO before he ever came to Dallas because of the star incident years earlier when he was with SF. He was already viewed as a team cancer when he arrived in Dallas in 06 after the trouble he caused in Philly. That made everyone very leery of him.

In 07 Cowboy fans started taking to him because he was producing and the team was winning. When he was injured later that season a lot of fans used his injury as an excuse for why the Cowboys faded and got knocked off in the playoffs. The following year in 08 after the fold job vs the Steelers in Dec Ed Werder's story came out and naturally fans blamed TO for the teams Dec meltdown.

Reports came out that he was destroying the locker room. Most felt the Cowboys were having to force him the ball to keep him happy which was true but no receiver in Dallas since Michael Irvin produced like TO. There was never a TO problem in Dallas it was just a figment of everyones imagination who had their eyes closed to the real problem which is Jerry Jones and the jokes he hires as head coach.

Love him or hate him, T.O is a first ballot HOF and has produced #s that rival only Jerry Rice's in the National Football League. Dez hasn't even come close to scratching T.O.'s arse to be even mentioned in the same breath.

"Team Cancer" or not, T.O. is a top 10 WR who can still produce, but demands the ball too much.

Okay, now you're getting a little carried away.

TO took the blame...that was easy and he was part of it. The "Real" problem was and still is Jason Garrett. That is a fact (please question the fact part so I can lay it out). I like JG but anyone can see the problem unless you have Blinders on. I hope he figures it out or we get an upgrade.

Produce like his days here? No. Be a viable #2 or #3 on most teams? Definitely yes. The guy still runs a 4.45 and routinely got open in Seattle. The reason the cut him was due to his three drops, and because he was gonna be coming off the bench only getting 10 snaps per game. Seattle knew Braylon would be more content with being the #4 WR than T.O. would.

Don't be surprised if they bring him back now that they are banged up.
