TO Blames ESPN For His Unemployment

Terrell Owens is just about done and he's the only person that doesn't know it.

I'm glad we passed on Moss and was one happy Cowboy fan when TO was released.

Moss is the type of player that can suddenly make the other 52 guys look better.

He would've instantly made this team better, he wouldn't have been able to hide all the warts - but we sure would've been a lot more competitive than taking an above average pass rusher instead.

Moss would have had fun in the white house. Aikman was almost done. He wouldn't have had the impact he did in Minn. At the time Ellis was the right fit IMO. QC throwing to Moss would have interesting to watch. :laugh2:

And yet Moss has won how many rings?

I think Moss is a very talented wide receiver. But I don't think Moss is a leader. He doesn't strike me as a Michael Irvin or Jerry Rice in intensity and leadership. He'll make a spectacular play. But Moss isn't going to sell out to make a play, IMO. Most of his plays are made within his "giftedness," i.e., outjumping and outleaping people. I just haven't seen him go all out to catch a ball like David Tyree did.

But that's my opinion.

Could not agree more.

But there is not one instance of him sabotaging on the field those teammates whom he bashes. Or shirking his on-field responsibilities to them.

It doesn't matter. If it causes dissention and hard feelings and leads to division it still hurts the team. There are more ways to hurt a team than just dropping passes. Unity and communication and trust are vital. Those are the things that turn a group of talented individuals into an outstanding team.

Let's keep in mind that Moss was so much of a problem that both Minnesota and Oakland were willing to let him walk with basically nothing in return. That doesn't say much for how much better Moss would have made us. He would have made us more exciting, no doubt, but there is no reason to believe that we wouldn't have made the same choice after a couple of years of tolerating him that those teams did. The Moss of today is actually better for a team than the Moss of back then, despite having lost a step, because the Moss of today has learned to fit with a team.

Oh please. Your description does not match the facts.

His career of "trying to rip the fabric of the team apart and breed mutiny amongst your quarterback and coaching staff among your teammates" huh?

In reverse order:

Dallas: You CHOOSE to believe the allegations in the face of repeated assurances to the contrary. At some point you have to accept that the most likely "truth" is that Owens did not do what he was accused of.

Please, you don't have any "facts" or any "truth" any more than anyone else. You choose to believe what you want to believe because TO is your hero and you'll defend him until the day you die.

You have your belief of how things have went down, and I have mine. Mine is just supported by the fact that he's been dumped from teams repeatedly for lockerroom antics, and none of his former coaches who have witnessed his behavour first hand want to touch him again with a 10 foot pole.

I'm getting flashbacks of 5Countem5 and JordanTaber.
