Only way Jerry regrets it is if he goes and gets a championship, which aint happenin. The bone-headed move was signing him in the first place.

It's about championships and we didn't get one with him. Period. If he thought his presence would bring it now he would still be here guaranteed.

Tony Romo hasn't brought a championship in the 2 and half years he was starting. Sorry, but TO wasn't on the top of the list of problems of why we didn't win a championship. Further, it is about putting a team in the best position to win a championship. And TO does that, while Roy Williams and Patrick Crayton don't.

Sorry... Your whole assumption is rooted in the fact that Peyton Manning won't be getting TO the ball. They don't have a garbage OC like we do. Further, while Tony Romo is good, he is not even close to the level of Peyton Manning. TO won't be complaining because they will be getting him the ball and they will be using him in motion, and they will be having him run short and quick slants.

Like I said, TO doens't complain in 3 minutes. He complains when the team is losing.


Cause they'll get him the ball...San Fran, Philly, and Dallas didn't get him the ball? The dude caught almost 40 TDs here in three years. He got the ball.

My assumption might turn out wrong, it wont be a first for me to be wrong, but I feel perfectly comfortable in saying that I don't believe there is a single chance of him playing with Peyton Manning unless he goes to another AFC team and they both make the Pro Bowl.

And again how many teams has he actually helped win championships for you to make the claim that he actually does put teams in the best position to do that?

In his entire career exactly one team he's played on has made the Superbowl and they won their two playoff games with him sitting on the bench.

NEXT QUESTION. I think TENN would benefit from him though. Fisher would tell him to shut the #(@$&*#*0 real quick if he started yappin.

So did Parcells and Haley. Where they now?

Were you calling him inept in O7 when your boy was putting up BIG numbers?
I think he tried too hard to get ONE player the ball.

I'm sooooooo glad he's gone!!!! :clap:
Actually, he was inept, by the end of the season, when he lost TO to the high-ankle sprain. Tony Romo didn't look that good without him either. Further, teams figured Jason Garrett out by the end of the year, as TO said this year. Whatever TP has said came to fruition. What your telling me is like telling me the 4-6 was great when the Bears won the Superbowl. Guess what? The West Coast offense came and pretty much ended it as a base defense. Nobody uses the 4-6 anymore as a base defense.

One more time, so that was TR forcing the ball to TO into triple coverage the last offensive play of the Giants play-off game or Terry Glenn? That was TO, Tony Romo threw the ball to against the Ravens on that final INT or Witten? I thought everybody use to say that Tony Romo has a tendency to force the ball once in awhile, costing us INTs, but that we could live with it, because he makes so many great plays. Guess what? Jason Garrett's offense exemplified this problem of TR. Why was Wade saying we need to establish a running game to reign in Tony Romo? I thought Jason garrett was a QB coach prior to hsi stint with the Cowboys. What was Romo's problem is now suddenly TOs fault? Hypocrisy on this board is amazing.

Like I said, the Giants beat the Cowboys last year in the second-half of the playoffs with the same game-plan that teams did this year. Garrett has never adjusted since then. Garrett has destroyed this team.

And yet, we are about to give Ware one of the biggest contracts ever. How many championships has he helped us win? Tony Romo hasn't won a playoff game. How many years did it take Manning to win one? What about Westbrook? Andre Johnson hasn't taken his team to the play-offs. Larry Fitzgerald hasn't won a Superbowl. TO should have won a Super Bowl is McNabb didn't choke.

That is just a stupid reason to argue we don't need TO. Everywhere TO has went, his QBs played their best ball ever. Hell, even here, the games TO didn't play with a high-ankle sprain, the offense looked inept. TO makes us a better team period and that is all you can ask for. People act like it is easy to win a championship, even with great players. The Patriots had the most dynamic offense ever and they didn't win because of one bad game.

This team's problem is bigger than TO and it just got bigger without him.

LOL! Games! As if he missed a huge amount of time.

Bro...Romo played a little over a half of one game, of consequence, without TO cause of the Ankle sprain and that was against Carolina when he got hurt. A game, you might remember, that we still managed to win.

The other 'game' we played without him was a nothing game in which the starters were only playing long enough to get certain milestones and then taken out.

They had TO back by the Giants game and with TO in the line up they didn't win the playoff game. You're making it out like Romo had to go 6 games without him or something. Please.


And it's just as silly to assume we need TO to be in a better postion to win championships when the guy has, you know, never won anything as it is to say we should or shouldn't give Ware or Romo money cause they've never won anything.

Most of what was there when he was is pretty much gone now. Player and coaching wise. i don't know about the front office stuff.

And how does that change the argument? I thought he disrespected the team that was the 49ers and the fans of the 49ers that were the same people? So the actual issue was TO and the front-office right?

Jacksonville, they need to sell tickets, their coach needs to win so would probably would take a chance, they need a receiver and if it blows up their fans don't care anyway.

The fact that Glenn was triple covered and TO wasn't open on that final play isn't exactly a shining example of how TO is so great and everything that ever goes wrong on the teams around him is always everyone elses fault and he shoulders no blame.

The guy has never won like a lot of other guys but in his case it's not his fault it's everyone else around him whose at fault?

LOL thinking that TO is going to get paid at the ripe age of 35 and at the WR position to boot. He might get signed somewhere if his ego can stand taking a pay cut. No contender is going to sign TO, they know better.

I would imagine it wouldn't matter to SF, one bit, if it angered their fans to bring him back. The issues were between TO and the team.

Pretty much like how most Cowboys fans hated him cause of the star thing but I don't recall that keeping Jerry Jones from bringing him here.

I am just telling you plain facts. Every single QB TO played with, from McNabb to Garcia, to Tony Romo, had their best seasons with him as their WR. It is a simple fact. While it may be too early to say that about Romo, we have a long track record to prove that TO makes QBs better. The only complaint where he allegedly caused a problem with the offense was this year in Dallas, yet, even here again, we have no evidence of it. This team didn't do anything without him. That does not mean that TO is the main engine that runs the offense, it simply proves he is a main factor in this offense. We didn' do anything with Romo out as well. It is just strange that Cowboys fans have bought the reason that it was TO that caused a degradation in performance of this offense. Hell, it is no coincidence that Michael Westbrook actually started to become a main piece of the offensive puzzle in Philly the very year TO signed with the team.

As far as our starters not playing, you are incorrect. Tony Romo was still playing, and our started did play a few quarters, even in the Commanders game, and our starters, for the amount of time they did play, looked pathetic.

CLAIM OF INTEREST IN T.O. GENERATES SOME SKEPTICISM

Posted by Mike Florio on March 6, 2009, 9:14 a.m.

Many of you are flooding my e-mail box and the comments with skepticism regarding the claim by agent Drew Rosenhaus that “several teams” are interested in receiver Terrell Owens.

Our official position on whether “several teams” genuinely are interested in receiver Terrell Owens is this — “time will tell.” Since Rosenhaus has predicted that a deal will be done by the end of next week if not sooner, then if a deal isn’t done by the end of next week if not sooner it supports a conclusion that some huffing and puffing might be happening.

One league source has opined to us that, if the agent or the player won’t name the teams that are interested, then there are no interested teams.

Again, time will tell. For now, we’ll give Owens and Rosenhaus the benefit of the doubt.

I actually thought of them, at first, as a potential place cause they badly needed recievers but then I remembered that their coach just kicked their starting MLB off the team for causing any kind of trouble.

I can't see him being willing to take on TO and everything that comes with him, even with TO being a great reciever who produces.

A precise guy like Manning could never deal with TO's shoddy route running and freelancing. No way.
I agree. And Manning would be strong enough to not put up with TO's antics, which would only make the problem worse because TO never backs down from a 'slight'.

It absolutely cracks me up that a vague blurb in an article that the 49ers haven't closed the door to him coming back means he was NEVER an issue in the first place.

I'm spotting over here.

Re-read what I said please. i said they did play till they reached certain milestones in the Commander game and then they were pulled. It was pretty clear not a single player on that team, offense or defense, gave a crap about that game cause they had already locked up homefield, and 13 wins, and were going to leave the game early.

I believe Romo and Witten played one series into the 3rd quarter and were then pulled.

The only game that they played the whole way, and it mattered, was the Carolina game that TO got hurt in the second quarter of. They played a little over a half without him. The first full game that mattered that they played in after he was hurt was the Giants playoff game and he was back for that, had 4 catches and a score, in a loss to the Giants.

I hope he goes to the Raiders. Or that if he goes to a contender they suddenly flop. The reactions of the TO cabal will be hilarious.

It would be the first time he's ever arrived at a team and they've gotten worse, if that's the case.

I'm not a TO worshiper, but it's ridiculous to say he makes teams worse on Sunday. His issues have always stemmed from incidents regarding team chemistry, not that he doesn't produce on the field.
