Owens certainly didn't spoil us this past season. Owens in 7 games last year caught less than 40 yards. 7 times he caught less than 5 balls. If you single adjust, ie removing his best and worst game statistically, his averages drop to bad. If you double adjust, ie remove the two best and worst games, then he goes to absolutely putrid.
IOW, for the vast majority of last season he was simply horrible. He had two good games and for the rest of the season was one of the worst starting receivers in the game.
Is it that hard for you to comprehend that at age 35 a player, especially at a skill position, would have his skills deteriorate.
I was against keeping hium not for the obviously racial BS he was pulling but instead becasue there is no way in heck he is worth over $8 mill. He doesnt produce like he did even two years ago.
1. 2007 = The Player tore it up, made the coordinator and QB look good.
2. 2007/2008 = Romo made the OLine look good.
3. LATE 2007 = Teams started to figure Garrett's coloring playbook out and how effectively to take out their best WR. Because teams figured it out late in 2007, we started to decline down the stretch or have we miraculously forgotten then?
4.Because the recipe was in place to containing our game-changer, Garrett and or our QB could not figure out how to spread the ball around effectively.
5.With this same formula, teams finally went back to the same strategy from the late part of the previous season that worked, and thus brought our offense "down to earth". The only team that had the audacity to single up this player, he was totally abused.
6. Neither Romo nor Garrett has figured out since the last 3rd of 2007, how to survive when your best receiver is taken out of the game.
If you all think I am just picking on Romo and Garrett then think about this for a second. Their has been a ton a QBs who has had 1 great year until defenses figured them out, including coordinators.
I will use 1 for each example. Randall Cunningham when he had Moss and Carter, he was a star.
Buddy Ryan with the Bears, no one had seen that type of defensive set before, the next year teams figured it out.
I know you all are giddy over the QB and the Coordinator, but these guys were the cancers of last years team.
Until Garrett figures out how to be a coordinator, Romo figures out fundamentals, and the fans stop using chemistry, we will continue to fail year after year.
