Title: Is T.O. worth a look?
Post by: Dave Gray on July 14, 2010, 04:13:02 pm
He's on the market.  He's had declining numbers, but he's also had declining QBs.  He was well-behaved last year, from all reports.  Is it worth looking at Owens?

No

Yes, if he doesn't ask for a boatload of cash.  Maybe we can convince him to sign for a minimum contract with big incentives. ::)

I wouldn't hate it, but honestly having Marshall and Owens on the same team screams "self-destruction"

I was hoping someone would go there for old time's sake.

It's not in keeping with the rebuilding project to bring in Owens, a "progress-stopper" to the young guys.  I'd pass.

I'll go as far as saying that there aren't many players in the NFL that I'd rather have "less" than T.O.

I'd take a package of Pacman "Let 'em eat cake" Jones and Jamarcus "Potatohead" Russell first.

I actually think that if you look at T.O., you avoid the incentive route.  I don't want his paycheck tied to how often he sees the ball, or else I'd expect him to bitch about not getting throws.  I think you pay him a salary and take a gamble, good or bad, if you want to give him a try.

You can't be serious.  While TO has some issues, so do most wideouts.  On the whole TO has a much worse rap than he really is.  I think this Bang gem says it best....

I wasn't serious...it's called exaggeration for emphasis. I don't want Jamarcus or Pacman...OR T.O., but your "on the whole" assessment of T.O. seems like a blatant case of "talking out of your ass." Unless, of course, you'd have us believe that you maintain a personal relationship with T.O. that would grant you some insight into his character beyond what you've gleaned from Sportscenter highlights.

Hell to the no.   I had to listen to his big mouth enough when he was in Dallas.

Ok, let me get this straight, Buffalo doesn't want him?  Nuff said.

I found it funny that TO is just NOW realizing that he has a bad reputation. LOL

So true.  After all the Bills have a world renowned talent player evaluating department always going after the best players and never cutting a player that is still viable.  Oh wait, this is the Buffalo Bills we are talking about.

Didn't  he sign a one year contract with Buffalo? Even if they wanted him I doubt he'd want to go back to that hole.

^yep he did,making him a free agent....The Raiders, Seahawks, Jaguars,Broncos could probably all use a veteran Wr (even just for a 1 year flyer,till their youngsters mature)...and they aren't interested in Owens either....

A Young QB+T.O = horrible idea.....(Actually almost any QB+T.O. = sounds better on paper than in reality...)

He'll land somewhere. I'll eat my shorts if this NFL season starts and he's not on a team.

That's a keeper - we'll be back to you on September 4th and I want video posted of you eating your shorts. :D ;)

T.o. and marshall would free up alot of running room for our running game next season, because lets face it henne is ok but he's no marino.

I think the last thing in the world I would want is T.O. around young wide receivers.  He is not a good role model, to say the least.

As for why he hasn't been signed: Marvin Harrison was a model WR* during his entire career, and as I recall, he didn't get a single call from any team after the Colts cut him.

*in all football-related matters, at least
