Why I think Terell Owens will be a Cowboy.

[cobra]

To those who want TO on this team and those who have offered reasons why or suggest the possibility he is going to be on the team:
Could you please include your address when you make such statements about him being a Cowboy so I know where to send the anthrax?

 

[Yeagermeister]

Yeah maybe, but even smellier is the stink of regret. Just ask Andy Reid and Donovan McNabb.

We have a corps of fine young players who are also fine young men, drafted on intelligence, leadership, and responsibility as well as ability to run and catch. Julius Jones, Jason Witten, Terence Newman, Rob Petitti, Roy Williams, Patrick Crayton, and the rest...all of them accountable individuals on which you can build a team that plays like one. Certainly they are not so impressionable that a joke like Terell Owens is going to influence them, but why even make them suffer the 'tude, the strutting, the potential for a meltdown, and even a fistfight.

Last year we rid ourselves of a young receiver with potential who was too selfish to fit in..one drafted a Cowboy...to bring in an aging egomaniac now makes little sense.

We have young stars like JJ who publically proclaim they don't mind sharing the ball with MBIII and TT, vet receivers who refuse to compete with each other for touches, defensive players the quality of Glover and Ellis and Dat who not just got with the rotation program, but are embracing it. We have LA tutoring Tucker, and Marco, Rob. We have Aaron Glenn taking Tnew under his wing.

This team is demonstrating, man to man, more unselfishness than I can remember on any team. And they aren't just paying lip service to 'team', they are living it. This didn't happen overnight - it's taken Bill and Jerry three years now to create the right mix.

It's too good a chemistry to fool with. Folks can and do change, but Owens has done nothing to merit the benefit of the doubt. I don't wanna see this guy within 500 miles of Valley Ranch...not out of self rightousness but out of love of the players we already have.

as usual

I guess if TO had when to camp, then said I don't want to play anymore, leaves his teammates high and dry, travel the world smoking pot, retire, get suspended, come back because he don't want to repay his signing bonus, comes back and he is accepted...give me a big mouth TO who shows up to play....

 

[royhitshard]

Say no to TO!!! He disrespected the star...that is enough for me.

 

[mr.jameswoods]

I'll be honest, if we won with TO, I wouldn't feel good about it. I don't believe in the idea that you win at any cost. I'm proud that our team isn't like the Raiders or the Eagles. I want us to stay clean. I don't think there is any way in heII that Jerry Jones would succumb to such an act. He could have made an effort to acquire Moss last year and did nothing so I hardly see why he would recruit and even bigger menace in TO.

 

[ZRO]

Ok, I'm NOT a TO fan, but if the Eagles are forced to cut him within the next week or so, we need to give it a serious look. At least for the rest of this year and maybe next season, NO long-term deal though.

What do you think?

 

[big dog cowboy]

Why would the Iggles be forced to cut TO? And NO we DO NOT want him. Please people!!!

 

[KWMIKE]

I would like to add one point. BP loves players that have their backs to the wall. That was his comment when he talked about drafting Clarrett. TO has his back to the wall. The media was saying the same things a about K Johnson before we picked him up and now he is a model player. I believe he is worth the risk.

 

[Silverstar]

Peter King thinks the Cowboys will sign him next year too.

I'm not a fan of King, but him saying it still scares me anyway.


I just don't want T.O. in a Cowboy uniform.

 

[Galian Beast]

I'll post the positives and the negatives.

On the plus side, having Keyshawn, Terry, and Terrell would probably create the best offense in the nfl in addition to what would probably be the best defense in the nfl next year.

On the negative side it would simply be stupid. We have a really good amount of chemistry building up, and we don't want trouble makers in our locker room at this point.

The difference with Keyshawn and Terry and Terrell is that Key and terry were Parcells players, and he had previous relationships with both players. He has no relationship with Owens. And the only relationship owens has with the cowboys is disrespect, and probably bitterness between himself and Roy Williams.

 

[Galian Beast]

Another funny note is that when we got Keyshawn, many people were angry about it.

I was all for getting Keyshawn, but quite frankly I don't want Terrell. If somehow Jones felt we needed him, and signed him. I'd root for him, cheer for him. And expect the best offense in the nfl. I'd have no problem with it, until things became ugly.

 

[yennor24]

The eagles are not going to let T.O. go to another team this year. They will shelf him and then cut him in the offseason....And I am all for picking up T.O. with strict contract details. So if he acts up just cut him. The man has 3-4 good dominate years left in him. And if any coach can handle him I think Parcells can. I think wide out is the one position if football that you can be selfish, Irvin was, so was Rice, So is Moss hell all the great ones are. Now if he has a good contract that he likes and he still acts a *** then by all means cut him. The problem with sports is the fans (us) try to put our real life into a sports players life...We talk about money, but it's not ours...We talk about how they should act, but none of us Run head on into a 250 pound man every sunday.I'm 6-3 190lbs and there is no way I would get on the field and do that every sunday....Now, I will bust you up in B-Ball. But from what im hearing on the board your basically saying ....No, I dont want the most dominante wide out in the league. Look, he has no public problem, drugs, police etc. Let Big Bill handle the field and let Jerry handle the money and lets sit back and go to 2-3 Super bowls. with our Defense and JJ and T.O and Glenn. Shoot, where do I sign up??????????

 

[Galian Beast]

You mean like Parcells could handle Antonio Bryant?

I think there is an upside to having T.O. and there is a downside.

Who knows how things would turn out though.

I think Philly asked for the trouble they got with T.O. and I don't think he really came into Philly saying... "you know what, I'm going to tear this team apart from within."

That said, there really isn't any space for him here. You don't even see Peerless Price getting playing time and he is already here.

 

[Wolverine]

Just think. If T.O becomes a Cowboy I might even get ridda my Zimmer village idiot sig.

Oh and HeavyHitta you dont know anything about football. You really dont.

 

[BadKarma]

I'm not a big fan of T.O. but how soon we forget the amount of effort he took to quickly rehabilitate so he would be able to help his team in the Superbowl. Even after being advised there was potential for re-injury which could have jeopardized his career, he was willing to take that chance. Pretty gutsy.

SCREW T.O.!!!!

Go back and listen to some of the clips after the game was over, or read some of the quotes. TO didn't give a rat's *** about his 'team' - he wanted to play on the biggest stage and prove to the world that he could get ready for the game when everyone thought he couldn't. He didn't even seem to notice that they lost, all he could do was talk about how great he was to have come back and played, and how wrong all the doubters were. I found it pretty comical at the time because most people didn't even seem to notice that after the game all TO talked about was TO - as usual.

 

[Trophy#6]

Laughing at some of you fairweathers..

Some people that sat through Vinny OldVerde for an entire season would hightale it and run if we were to sign a player who very well could (No, hell, would) propell us to the next level.

Here through the shiat and now you're claiming it smells?

I'd seriously take stock if I were some of you. Because if that is the case, then some of you sure are wasting alot of your lives here now talking aboiut a team you'd flee from at the first sign of something you didn't like.

Betting alot of you weren't even here before Bill became coach and don't really have a team.

The only disappointment I could ever have in this team is sitting and continuing to listen to some of you so-called fans. Nothing, and I repeat NOTHING could ever make me stop being a fan, period. You don't believe that, then that is sign #2 that you are not a real fan. Cause anybody who bleeds silver, bleeds silver for their whole life and know that!

I think Campo is waiting in Cleveland to sign a few of you..

Does anyone remember during the draft when parcells said that he's to old to be running around with players who have trouble off the field so why would he bring in TO. plus the reason why Keyshawn was brought here even though of his trouble is that parcells is the one who drafted him and is one of the guys that can keep him inorder
