ofiba Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 In my opinion, Owens does more harm than good. He's only quiet when everything is going good (last year). At the first sign of trouble, he's a cancer that I wouldn't touch with a 10 foot pole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MartyBall4Buffalo Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 If we had all the pieces in places for a superbowl run and a WR would put us over the top, like it basically did with philly last season then yes I'd take TO. There's no denying the guys talent, but when things go bad he'll let you hear about it. You take the good with the bad. I love the guy's talent and what he does on the field, and while I'm a big time Owens fan the fight with Hugh Douglas was too much. I'd take for a year if we had a chance at a superbowl then dump him, cause when you're down he'll make your team your organization and the fans miserable, but damn Can he play some football.

gantrules Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 Over the top? The only thing he's done for Philly is put them in a hole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartyBall4Buffalo Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 Over the top? The only thing he's done for Philly is put them in a hole. 496560[/snapback] Yeah It's TO's fault Philly has no run game........ And their defense isn't as good. Last season Yes TO was the type of big play explosive wr they needed to reach the superbowl. Yes I know they won the nfc championship game without him, but They did lack an explosive playmaker at wr, Owens was that guy. He had a great superbowl in a losing effort, and now when the lack of a philly run game is exposed, and their defense isn't quite as good, things start to sour. So I Stick by my observation if we needed an explosive big time wr, and that was our only missing piece for a superbowl run I wouldn't think twice about Taking TO for league minimum salary for a season.

KD in CA Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 Oh yeah...he's too much of a disruption at $7MM/year, but he'd be fine if we could pay him the league mimium! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hadn't thought of the question that way. Owens probably couldn't buy a pair of shoes with the league minimum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meazza Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 he's a cancer, definately is, but would the outcome of Philly Washington been different had TO been playing philly is screwed this season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark VI Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 Only a desperate Coach in the last year of his contract/sinking ship will want him. Enter Mike Sherman, Norv Turner, Mike Tice etc. TD would never consider him and neither would any other GM who believes in team chemistry. I laugh at some here who will forgive anything just because he may have some game day talent. Turning on your GM,Coaching staff and QB is his modus operendi . If the other 52 players on the roster had a vote, he'd never be on an NFL team. He's a child who needs constant media attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plenzmd1 Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 Id take him in a heartbeat if I was a contender for a championship. Obviosly, no one will get him this year as the eagles will Keyshaun him before they release him. One thing about TO, you can NEVER question his effort or performance on the field. Only question is whether the off field stuff hurts team chemistry more than his on field performance helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweet baboo Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 this team could use some of TO's fire...we have no heart, no fire, no emotion the only player that seems to have any sort of spirit is JP...but he's keeping that bench warm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BackInDaDay Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 Only if I thought it would end in a TO/TD fist fight. Don't underestimate TD. TD: "OK, first we gotta go over the rules." TO: "What rules? There's no rules!" TD: "OK." ...and he kicks him in the nuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think one of the problems with TO is that he gets bored easily, and likes stirring things up to make life more interesting. Much like many of the posters on this forum. Whether you could keep this problem manageable depends on your overall team chemistry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justnzane Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 i would take him for less than he is making now witht the stipulation that he shuts the hell up. if he doesthat he gets a bonus for it. if not, he gets released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimBob2232 Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 I would take him as well. Give him an incentive based contract. Except his incentive is to not talk to any member of the media. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shibuya Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 I would stop watching the Bills until he was gone. I'd rather go 0 - 16 for 5 consecutive years then have a terell Owens, or a Deion Sanders playing ofr the Bills. Winning just isn't THAT important to me to have to endure such players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
