DC.com: TO Feels He's a Scapegoat

[Doctor32]

Hello.....He was a scapegoat.

They were talking about it on 103.3.

T.O. said Romo had no Leadership (which is TRUE) but I would consider checking out a podcast or an article to get the full scoop.

I'm just going by what I heard from the radio.

Kill me... please just kill me now. Kill me real hard, and NO FUNERAL!!!!

When will Jerry learn that as brilliant as he is in business, his football knowledge, especially at qb is seriously lacking. Carter, Hutch, Henson, Leaf, Stoerner, romo?

And how many excellent quarterbacks will Jerry pass on coming out of college until he stops making excuses for romo. Perhaps this season when romo is among the league leader in turnovers and the team goes 5-11.

Wow.

Romo isn't even in the same league as those bums and TO did exactly what 90% of the fans predicted he would do.

 

[MWILL]

Right...

Stephen Jones said it best. If Irvin didn't buy into Troy, Troy would've had problems... because younger guys looked up to Mike the same way younger guys look up to Owens.

So because Owens stopped buying into Romo and that maybe hurt Romo's rep with younger players, it's an indictment of Romo's "leadership". Sorry, I'm not buying it.

Too bad Romo's not Carson Palmer... nobody questions Palmer's "leadership" even though he's gone through similar craziness with a WR (Chad) and he also hasn't won a playoff game. Hmmmm... could it have to anything to do with... this?

Tiki Barber and Jeremy Shockey had to be out of the picture for Eli Manning to become a "leader".

Aikman has showned the LEADERSHIP on day 1, not the 3rd season.

Romo will have to EARN his leadership and respect from his teammates with better play on the field. That includes practices as well.

Just saying "I'm going to be a better leader" is not goin to cut it.

To prove my point even more (if you live in the DFW area) Romo is the new whipping boy here. Media and fans are questioning Romo mentality and Garrett play-calling. Wonder who called them out first?

 

[MWILL]

Kill me... please just kill me now. Kill me real hard, and NO FUNERAL!!!!

Would you prefer a knife or a gun?

 

[theogt]

Holy cow, he's just answering the questions he was asked. If he doesn't answer them, the media goes full out assault on him and if he does, he gets accused of being a drama queen.

The guy gets asked these same questions literally on a daily basis. He's not going out and holding a press conference out of the blue to whine.

:laugh2:

Hey, secretly going to Jerry and getting TO bounced and then denying it publicly is just the kind of leadership we need from our QB. Whatever it takes. If he secretly got rid of Pacman and Tank, too, that's even better.

hey TO, my popcorn got stale, just like your act.

I am officially tired of hearing about Terrell Owens, I won't be at all sad when he's finally done playing the game of football.

No kidding. He doesn't play for Dallas anymore, thankfully. Can we please move on?

I'm sending another e-mail to this non-creative idiot.

 

[Big Dakota]

The man that pays this dudes salary needs to tell him to stop the TO articles. I think we all get it. Whats next, a Q article?

 

[Hostile]

Anyone besides me think he will now refer to him as Scapegoat Terrell Owens.

Scapegoat T.O. wishes Tony Romo well

T.O. says he still isn't exactly sure why the Cowboys released him, although he has his theories and is sticking with them.

He's heard about Stephen Jones' suggestion that Tony Romo wouldn't be able to emerge as a leader with T.O. on the roster.

"He was the quarterback of the team," T.O. said during his camp for kids today at Duncanville High School. "I think everybody realized that. It was upon him to adopt that leadership role and carry that out. Obviously, they saw that didn't happen.

"So, for whatever reason, I'll be the scapegoat. I'm not here. Now, it's his team. You know, and I wish him well."

T.O., who famously cried while defending Romo after the top-seeded Cowboys' playoff loss to the Giants two years ago, claimed to be confused when asked how the relationship between the quarterback and receiver changed last season.

"Your guess is as good as mine," T.O. said. "I don't know what happened. Obviously, somebody is lying somewhere. I don't know what happened. All I know is that I'm not here. I'm with the Buffalo Bills, and I'll leave it at that."

Much more T.O. coverage to come.

you should have really tried to keep your post count at 93.

:fact:

Once you get used to it, though, you can get a great laugh out of his posts. He's had some doozies since TO was cut.

Great post.

Releasing TO shows how desperate Jerry is to justify his foolish decsion to hitch his wagon to tony romo. They are admitting that they know romo doesn't have the stones to take control, and are keeping their fingers crossed/praying that the move will pay off, and if/when it doesn't then who else is Jerry and everyone else going to blame for romo's inneffectiveness?

Will it be Roy Williams, who we probably already know won't replace TO's production because he can't get WIDE OPEN? Or will it be the offensive line, who will be slammed beacause they only give romo 6-7 seconds to throw the ball, and he gets sacked when he can't hit a receiver who isn't wide open. Or will it be Jason Garrett because he isn't the one fumbling or throwing interceptions, but because his offense is "to predictable." I don't recall that being an issue in 2007.

When will Jerry learn that as brilliant as he is in business, his football knowledge, especially at qb is seriously lacking. Carter, Hutch, Henson, Leaf, Stoerner, romo?

And how many excellent quarterbacks will Jerry pass on coming out of college until he stops making excuses for romo. Perhaps this season when romo is among the league leader in turnovers and the team goes 5-11.

I wish Romo all the best but he's definitely gonna have problems this year without TO....and if RW goes down with an injury, we'll see how everyone's boy wonder turns into a mental midget....

I will try not to laugh too hard at you when you pull a 180 and say you thought all along romo was a joke instead of fessing up that you were wrong. I won't hold it against you because you don't know any better, but I will still have to remind you that you were wrong.

so you just ignore all the amazing stuff he does, and focus on the negative as though it's all that there is and spout off, hoping that the QB of the cowboys fails so you can rub it in peoples' faces?

you sound like a peach of a fan to me.
