madman88 Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 (edited) some ppl think having TO on this team will help so many ways, but ppl forget how much trouble(baggage) he brings with him... take a look:Terrell Owens has been considered one of the better wide receivers to ever play a snap in the NFL—but in no way, shape or form will he ever be best-known for his production on the field.Whether your lasting image of him will be throwing popcorn into his helmet, shaking pom-poms or pulling out the Sharpie, there are plenty of comical and controversial moments to choose from.Owens got off to a quick start in San Francisco and quickly became known for running touchdown routes—and running his mouth. He constantly questioned then-coach Steve Mariucci and called his quarterback, Jeff Garcia, "gay" to the media.That was only the beginning of Owens' problems with QBs.After being traded to the Ravens, he failed to report, so San Francisco ended up eventually shipping him to Philadelphia where Owens' career took off even more.Even with his success in Philly, he never remained on the same page as his QB, Donovan McNabb. It got to the point where Owens was quoted as wanting to get Brett Favre to Philly, even with McNabb still at the helm.Owens was suspended for those comments and for nearly holding out that next year. He later took shots at the Eagles for not celebrating his 100th career reception more, and eventually, Philly had had enough.So what did Owens do?Well, he went to the Eagles' top rival, Dallas.Once there, controversy upon controversy followed him. He overdosed and nearly killed himself, which many thought was a suicide attempt.His injury concerns were well-documented, including when he showed up to camp wearing Lance Armstrong's Discovery Channel jersey when riding the stationary bike.Or how could we forget the sit-ups he did while answering questions with another holdout being suspected?Owens has stood on the Dallas star at midfield, spit on DeAngelo Hall and scuffled with his wide receiver coach (now Kansas City head man, Todd Haley).There's no way you can fit all the many outrageous things T.O. has done, and that's why he reigns supreme as the best and biggest wide receiver diva of all time.just wow :lol: Edited August 19, 2011 by madman88 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AF89 Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 I'm not sure anyone's going to sign him till his hamstring is healed anyway. (I think I heard around week 4 or 5?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peyton Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 I'm not sure anyone's going to sign him till his hamstring is healed anyway. (I think I heard around week 4 or 5?)It's his knee, not his hamstring.I don't know how long it will take him to get ready, but he definitely won't be signed until after the first game. If a player is on the roster for the first game, the whole season's salary is guaranteed for the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is in great condition for a 37 year old but Julio Jones is the same size as T.O. and faster! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it wasn't for those 2 things he wouldn't be playing for his 6th professional team this year, if he is signed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything you just said falls directly in the running his mouth category. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cannonballsghost Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 I'd rather cover myself in gas and then strike a match than to have TO-me on the Falcons, doesn't matter though he will never pass the Falcons filter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeamPlayer1 Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 (edited) Trust me. He has plenty of speed.I can tell you like T.O. but he's a 37 year old who had ACL reconstruction 6 months ago and Harry Douglas, much younger, had the same surgery almost 2 years ago and is just now up to full speed.He is a driven man but he is still human.

I'm just giving him his well deserved props. T.O. heals fast and I wouldn't be surprised if he is back at full speed by week 3 at the least. He goes hard during his rehab sessions. I don't know what type of treatment HD received so I can't really speak on him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
