I want to see Terrell Owens and Herschel Walker in the octagon.
It's Time!!!!!

 

[Loso86]

I guess you don't recall TO inability to run routes precisely? All his QB's were mobile: Young, Garcia, McNabb, Romo. TO made plays when QB's extended plays and he adjusted.

Man I remember alot but what I remember most is his stats. You don't just have as many top 5 -10 stats that high with just physicality is all I'm saying.

I might be one of a very few that actually liked T.O. I read his book.

 

[DFWJC]

TO was maybe the best receiver I’ve after seen after the catch. Just an absolute monster.

Dez probably would’ve been right there with him as far as Yac but Jason Garrett was too clueless to do anything but make him run 9 routes all game.


Owens was a showstopper though.

That Metcalf dude in Seattle reminds me of him in that regard

 

[RonnieT24]

Very true, I want to say that TO played that Giants playoff game with a very bum ankle. That was our freaking SB year but the GODS said otherwise…

I'm glad we lost that game because if we HAD gone to the Super Bowl I don't think Wade's defense was good enough at that point to stop Moss and Brady... which means that we would have been on the losing end to the 19-0 Greatest team of all time Patriots.. Which we would still have been hearing about 50 years hence. So.. no thank you....

 

[CATCH17]

I might be one of a very few that actually liked T.O. I read his book.

I was a fan but after his career when he went at Michael Irvin I was kinda done with him.

Having his own HOF ceremony was a flop and a awful look as well.

 

[lqmac1]

I appreciate the persistence, but you have got to be real with yourself at a certain point. You see this often in the UFC where they don’t know when to hang it up and end up embarrassing themselves with knock out after knock out.

He’s in the Hall of Fame and well into his 40s. He needs to leave his legacy alone and just focus on other things at this point, but that’s just my opinion

 

[RonnieT24]

I might be one of a very few that actually liked T.O. I read his book.

If you liked him it's a good bet you probably never met him. T.O. was a great player.. but a first class jerk. I rooted for him when he was wearing the Star but I did not shed a tear when they sent him packing. His insecurities and paranoid delusions precluded his ever being a good teammate. He was always convinced that other guys on the team were out to get him. There is no way a player of his immense talent would have been released by 6? 7? teams sometimes even as he was having all pro level seasons..

 

[jwitten82]

He was Jerry's biggest mistake, bringing that loser in cost us Parcell's and probably a super bowl.

Please come back so you can be used as a tackling dummy...

Give me Amari. Gallup and Lamb over cry baby anyday.

Micheal Irvin was better than that selfish trash...Irvin has 3 rings to prove it. Irvin was well-loved by everybody.

Owen's teammates couldn't wait till he left the team...

Lol no, TO is greater than Irvin

 

[Cowpolk]

I wonder if a team can accept money to allow a player to be on a team? TO pays um 500,000 to be on the team could work!

 

[Cowpolk]

TO had the freaky ability to get 5 yards deeper than the deepest defender. On numerous plays Romo would uncork a frigging BOMB that went above the camera viewing angle, only for it to come down in view in TO's hands 5 yards ahead of the defender. I just don't know how TO did that! It was awesome.

Romo threw him lead passes

 

[Cowpolk]

Saran wrap is fun in those situations

 

[bewp7]

TO is almost 50 lol

50!

 

[ghst187]

He won’t get a shot but if there was one athlete in the history of the sport I would not bet against it would be TO.

Dude is just a different type of athlete.

true. He might have never had to leave if he could act like an adult with some manners

 

[buybuydandavis]

He can’t run routes?

He was one of the best route runners in the league.

As a point of reference, go find the video with all Tony to TO TD passes. Dude generally had 3 yards of separation. I assume it was mainly freakish acceleration, because I don't remember spectacular cuts, but TO got open somehow.

 

[beware_d-ware]

TO was definitely built different. 6'3" 220 with one of the greatest 0 to 60 bursts you will ever see.

Dez is pretty comparable, but even he wasn't as big and strong as TO was. TO's shoulders were just friggin squares, he was built like a fridge of muscle that ran 4.4.

 

[phildadon86]

Folks seem to forget, Owens put up 937 yards, 9 TDs, 13.7 YPC in just 14 games (11 starts) during his last season at age 37.

That’s bonkers.

People seem to forget that TO made Romo look good. But they will have you believe it was the other way around

Dez was never as fast as TO nor the same route runner. Let’s not get crazy here lol.

But his 3 years with Romo were absolutely magical! Lots of TD’s there…
