Ex-Cowboy Terrell Owens: I'd be as good as Jerry Rice if it weren't for bad quarterbacks
10:01 AM CST on Thursday, January 28, 2010
From Staff and Wire Reports
Former Cowboy Terrell Owens claims he would be as good as Jerry Rice if not for one thing.
No, not himself. It's the quarterbacks, of course.
"I know hands-down I'd be close to Jerry Rice's records if I had been with quality quarterbacks like he had," Owens told USA Today. "He had Joe Montana and he finished with Steve Young. That wasn't a dropoff.
"Say I had been with a guy like Tom Brady, Peyton Manning or Drew Brees all of my career. Are you kidding me?"
Owens has had problems with almost all of his starting quarterbacks -- from Jeff Garcia to Donovan McNabb to the Cowboys' Tony Romo.
Owens, 36, finished off a one-year deal with the Buffalo Bills and is currently a free agent.
After being asked by USA Today whether certain aspects of his career trouble him, he said. "Regret is too strong a word for me. As you grow older and wiser, there are things you would have done differently."
Owens will return to Dallas soon.
The Dallas Observer reports that Owens will play in the NBA All-Star Celebrity Game at 6 p.m. Feb. 12 at the Dallas Convention Center, though rosters can change. He was the MVP of last year's game in Phoenix.
Later that weekend, Owens joins Dallas Mavericks guard Josh Howard on Valentine's Day night after the game for "An All-Star affair" at the Palladium Ballroom on South Lamar St. in Dallas. If it's half as good a party as the poster, it should be pretty fun. The event starts at 9 p.m., but I'm sure the party doesn't start until the original 81 arrives.
