Steely Dan Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 Linkage I don't think you have to be an insider to read this. Some recent "best of" lists have been putting Terrell Owens in the same sentence as Jerry Rice. What are these people thinking? __________________________________________________________ And, along the way, he has destroyed two football teams. By 2003, the 49ers had enough of his act. After joining the Eagles in 2004, it took him only a year and a half to estrange himself from the team. With T.O., it's not about winning, it's about T.O. And that's only occasionally conducive to winning. Whether he's questioning Jeff Garcia's sexuality, blasting Donovan McNabb's Super Bowl performance or doing sit-ups for TV cameras on his front lawn, Owens generally finds himself making headlines for all the wrong reasons. _______________________________________________________ And by the way, during his two years in Dallas, he has dropped 27 passes, according to Stats, LLC. That's more than anybody else in the league (Cleveland's Braylon Edwards is second with 20). And, sometimes, all you have to do is cover Owens to render him ineffective. Take Eagles cornerback Lito Sheppard. When the Cowboys played the Eagles last season without Sheppard on Nov. 4 in Philly, Owens caught 10 balls for 174 yards with one touchdown. On Dec. 16 in Dallas, Sheppard shut down Owens, who caught only two passes for 37 yards. IMO, he is an above average receiver that I hope never sees the HOF. He could have been HOF worthy but his Eric Dickerson's disease hurt his stats too much to make him a HOF. The reason, IMO, why he drops so many passes is he's already thinking about how he's going to make the highlight reels once he catches the ball and loses concentration on actually catching the ball. BTW, he's going into his last year with Dallas and if they don't extend his contract before the season, he's 35, look for him to have a huge year because it will be a contract year for him. Good fantasy pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beerball Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 You don't think think this belongs on the "off the wall" forum? Nah, OTW is meant for insanity outside of football. Though some purists will tell you that only Bills related material belongs on the main board I maintain that Football is Football (as long as it isn't soccer), and it belongs on the other side of the wall.

DrDawkinstein Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 it could go in either forum. i appreciate Steely's thinking and respect for the Football board. but at this point in the offseason, the worst thing that would happen is this gets between a couple of "Bills should trade down" threads...
