ESPN'S Sal Pal says T.O. most overrated WR!!!

[iceberg]

you mean an espn reporter said something bad about the cowboys?

will the wonders ever cease?

 

[Seven]

The funny thing is, everyone on this forum would be agreeing with Sal if TO wasn't a Cowboy.

The hypocrisy is hilarious.

EVERYONE!?


Spank-you very much Mr. glass 1/2 empty...................Sheesh. :bang2:

Another disgruntled Eagles fan who fails to recognize McNabb was at his best with T.O. in town.

Sal's another idiot fanboy posing as a writer/reporter for ESPN. With Owens the Eagles went 17-6 (13-1 in regular season, 1 loss in the Super Bowl versus the Cheatriots).

Please do not call this guy a reporter. That's an insult to those of us who are.

A reporter delivers facts/news to his audience, with no opinion (or very little subjectivity) mixed in. All people like Sal deliver are their opinions, most often not based on any facts.

I don't think defensive coordinators think he's overrated.

 

[Boyzmamacita]

I don't think defensive coordinators think he's overrated.

Bingo! Where are all of these critics when TO has a 4 TD game against the Stinks or when he tears up Philly on a Sunday night at Philly? They have nothing to say about production like that, but let him drop a pass and the bash fest begins. The fact that people say nothing when he does well is proof that he is expected to do well - the sign of a good, if not great, receiver.

Sal Pal is nothing more than an eagles homer and has always bashed T.O ever since he left philly he is so annoying with that stupid accent and his arrogant ways

 

[BHendri5]

That guy is an idiot, and anyone who cannot man up and admit that someone is good/great even if they do not like them personally, cannot be any thing other than an idiot.


I have always liked T.O. as I have always liked Rice, wished Rice could have played for the Cowboys, but T.O. got his chance and he's playing and playing great .

Funny thing, about me, and I believe I am the only one in this forum (because I have not read, nor did I read any post that said the same thing I said, when T.O. stood on the star).

Back then and still to this day, I get angry at the My Boys for playing the way they played back then so when T.O. stood on the star he earned the right to do that and the Cowboys deserved what they got by their play.

I never felt any animosity towards T.O.. The Boys deserved that treatment.

You're exaggeration is hilarious. I've just about always commented on Owens being a top 3 WR in the league. I may want Harrison or Steve Smith over the years and I've often disliked Owens, but the only way I would have said he's overrated would be in regards to Owens' opinion of himself over the years. It's more than alright to have disdain for Owens the person, but as far as his production and skills and calling him overrated speaks volumes about Sal Pal.





YAKUZA

I read this earlier and simply laughed. While I don't think T.O. is anywhere near as great as Jerry was (Who IMHO is by far the best WR to ever play the game) he isn't over-rated.

But, then again, Sal doesn't say much that doesn't just make me laugh, shake my head, and feel sorry for him and how stupid he makes himself look and sound.

Sal is just pissed that the Eagles crapped away their window and have ZERO to show for it.

I love it!!!

Saying he has serious negatives is a bit extreme. You don't score 129 TDs in the NFL with serious negatives. He has some negatives. He does drop a lot of passes, but not enough to say it is a serious negative.

Aren't "big plays" part of "actual on the field production"? Those big plays do occur on the field. TO averages 14.8 yards per reception, so I don't think he relies just on the big play. Michael Irvin averaged 15.9 yards per reception and he definitely was not reliant on just big plays.

Terry Glenn has much better hands than TO, but he is not near as good as TO. Crayton has better hands than TO as well, but he isn't close to TO.

TO is good. It is a fact. Like him or not and I don't like him. Actually, I don't trust him is a better way to put it. Overrated? That is a stretch. He is not underrated, either. He gets as much respect as he deserves.

If any receiver is overrated, it is Marvin Harrison and I am a fan of his. He truly is a player that disappears in the playoffs. His receptions per game and yards per game drop drastically in the playoffs from his lofty regular season numbers. He also has only scored 2 TDs in 15 post season games and both those came in the same game. No, I don't truly believe Harrison is overrated, but it is a similar argument for TO.

T.O isn't a better wr than Glenn. Glenn just had a knee injury this year. Glenn was the better one the year before by far. And if you don't think T.O's hands are a serious negative, then I'm glad you don't run our personnel dept. Hands come first. Also, Aikman thinks Glenn is our best wr too. Now, what will happen at this point with Glenn after the knee injury is anyone's guess. Sanders wasn't a better cb than K. Smith untill K. Smith's knee injury. However, the self-promotor sure made everyone think he was.

I dont even wear glasses but im going to put some on just to see if i read this correctly. oh my

... Nope still couldn't understand it either.

Didn't Sal also write in a book or something last year that Romo was one of the most overrated QB's in the league. Let's just hope Sal doesn't fill in for anymore sick analysts.

 

[LittleBoyBlue]

W/O Owens they've gone 22-21 from the time he missed due to injury + from when he was suspended to 2006 and 2007.

22-21 as a team

Now tell me what Donovan's record is since TO left? :laugh1:

 

[ABQcowboyJR]

kinda like how several people in this thread don't think he did anything wrong in san fran or philly. but before he was a cowboy i bet they did.

O come on Rampage. Most people on this forum don't like TO. I will never forgive him for the star. TO does drop a lot of balls that end drives and occasionally lose games. But anyone can see that he has remarkable talent. To be that big fast and strong is something special. Most of us will call it how it is and add our opinions.

Sal is a moron. I doubt he's an Eagles fan. I think he trashes that team more than any other.

He's just another reporter that doesn't like TO. That's not a surprise either. What would be a surprise if there was a reporter that actually liked him.

 

[I LOVE ME SOME ME!]

TO is a top 3 wide reciever in the NFL. How is he overrated when thats where he is supposed to be rated?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

 

[Blue&Silver]

22-21 as a team

That's an excellent point. You should also note their record before TO. That just goes to show he can really blow up a team. It couldn't have happened to a better team, that's why I was thrilled Philly signed him. Hopefully when they become a decent team again, he goes back and dominate, I mean decimate

 

[Sitting Bull]

I'm not a T.O. guy but I would argue that he is the least underrated WR in the history of football. There's never been an article written that didn't mention, at length, the drama and disruption that goes along with his production. Most people would love nothing more than to bury him for his on and off-field antics. The fact is, his numbers (big game, small game and every thing in between) are indisputable.

 

[AmishCowboy]

Sal's a Philly homer, it should be no Surprise that he takes a Shot at T.O..
