Well i am going to put it like this. TO was a great player, we should not have cut him. TO came to play which is what I can say more than many other players on the team.
What should have happend was we take a serious look at Romo. He had 21 turnovers. That is more than 7 NFL TEAMS had total. He had 7 Fumbles lost, which is more than 5 NFL TEAMS had. Honestly, we need to draft Romo's replacement this year.
Perhaps why the defense liked TO better than Romo is that TO wasn't constantly turning the ball over and putting them in poor positions. Romo's cavilier attitude about ball security has done far more damage to this team than TO ever did. Romo and his, lack of ball security and RHG lack of imagination are truly disheartening.
I like TO, I like what he brings to the Table. RW11 hasn't shown he can even produce close to the level of TO. I hope this move was for the best. However, I am not sure that it is. I will always support the team, but I think we have take a step back. I would have waited one more year with TO before releasing him.
Honestly, Hos, I am a bit suprised that you called TO a sack of crap. On the field he produced, he practiced hard. His "TO" media personality may have caused some problems, but on a personal level he seems to be a very compassionate and stand up guy. There are a lot more people on this team I would call sacks of crap before I would call TO that.
99 times out of 100, I am going to agree with your posts. Not this time. When I am reading the stuff about the locker room like is in the first 2 posts...he had to go. Had to. There was no other choice.
You can replace WR production a hell of a lot easier than QB production. That is a fact of life in the NFL, and you know that. I'm not telling you anything revolutionary here.
I have said many times that TO is a great player. That will be completely forgotten over the next few months even if I say it again and and again and again. I said it long before he came to the Cowboys and I will be saying long after he's gone. On the field, great player.
I got to talk to the man twice to thank him for the football camp and meeting the 5 boys we sent over the 2 years we sponsored kids going to his Camp. I think he genuinely is a nice guy. I admire any man who will do that for kids. That's going to be forgotten over the next few months even if I say it again and again and again.
I never wanted us to sign TO. I have never bashed him for his production on the field other than to say he dropped passes he should have caught. I even went so far this off season on several occasions to say that my one hope if he stays is that Roy Williams learns from him because of how hard he works. That will be forgotten over the next few months.
I defended him against Bill Parcells over the "The Player" stuff. I felt that was terribly disrespectful. That will be forgotten.
I am a football purist. I do not apologize for that. It is who I am and I am too stubborn to change. This team needed TO in 2006. I cannot deny it. There was a dearth of talent and we needed a shot in the arm. He provided that shot. He promised Jerry Jones "I will not let you down." He promised he had learned from his past mistakes. Apparently he didn't.
I don't care what anyone's opinion of Jason Garrett is, if you condone a player openly bragging that he told a coach to his face that he does not respect him, then we are nto goign to agree with each other on that topic. I could not stand Bruce Read. I will not condone Bobby Carpenter or Keith Davis or Crotch Rocket bragging to the team that he disrespected Bruce Read.
No matter what you think of a Coach on the staff, they deserve the respect of the players and that was open, blatant disrespect and Owens is a piece of crap for first saying that to one of his coaches after he promised Jerry he would not let him down and he had learned from hsi past mistakes, and he compounded the size of the piece of crap by bragging to teammates that he had done it.
I cannot respect and will not respect a man who divides a locker room. Understand something, I am someone who considers a locker room a sacred place. Not secret, sacred. There are guys on my college team that I did not like. I would never disrespect those guys in the locker room. There were coaches I did not like. I would never disrespect them in the locker room.
Owens felt he was bigger than the team. No he's not. He can feel that way in Buffalo and good luck to that piece of crap. He disrespected the Dallas Cowboys locker room and I will not shut my festering gob about how little respect I have for that.
Tony Romo does need to cut down on the mistakes. I agree with you on that. But I will take Tony Romo and his mistakes over TO's locker room division prima donna piece of crap act any day of the week and twice on game days. I will not miss him. I appreciate his 3 years here. I wish he had truly learned from his past mistakes. I thank him again for the football camps and the treatment of our boys who went.
He's gone. The mood in Big D will change and this will be a better team. It still is a team sport despite what Madden 2009 teaches the gamers. Give me 11 guys who believe in each other over 10 guys trying to please 1 guy who believes in himself.
