WeownU Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 Everyone you named is or was loved and respected (most of the time) by their teammates, their coaches, and their fans. They established themselves as team leaders and playmakers before they started yelling at people to get them hyped up. If you don't have a good relationship with people you're working with, how is that yelling and complaining perceived? You think his teammates were really getting motivated by TO acting like a fool? The guy hasn't been there that long and has yet to develop the camaraderie and communication necessary to be able to act like that. He walked in, expected and still expects everyone to put him on a pedestal and give him the respect that he has yet to deserve. ABSO-FRICKEN-LUTELY !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you for saying this. This is what I've been saying for months...... TO can act the fool, do situps in his driveway, whatever, it simply doesn't matter, you know why? Cause he has no comraderie with his teammates. He can do whatever he wants because nobody would take his side in any situation. Therefore, those of you who think "he'll destroy the cowboys", like "he did with the eagles", won't happen. He was able to create that turmoil in philly because like another poster said, they threw him the keys to the city, he was one of them, he was "the" team outside of McNabb and Dawkins. In Dallas, it is simply not like that. You have to be "part of the team" to rip it too shreds, and TO just isn't interwoven into the fabric of the team to rip it apart. Can he act the fool??? Absolutely. Will it destroy our team??? Not a chance in hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CounterTrey Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 We need an Anti-TO Icon!!Will his notable quotes ever stop? Why is he here? Frustrated T.O. wants to know IRVING, Texas -- Terrell Owens screamed it on the sideline against Philadelphia, in the locker room after a loss and repeated it again Wednesday: "Why am I here?" "I do have a problem when I don't feel like I'm involved enough," he said. "I know I can make a difference. That's not me being arrogant. I just know what I bring to the table. Otherwise, I wouldn't be here. ... I want to win. I came here to help this team win." "Dude, I am playmaker," he said. "These guys know that. It's simple. ... Get the ball in the playmaker's hands." For full article - http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2622172[/quote We'll he actually right this time. If you have TO on your team you do throw him the ball more and not really use him as a decoy. I don't blame TO for this, he needs the ball in his hands and dallas needs to get him the ball.

I think Dallas fans are SO QUICK to point out any difference between TO's stay in Dallas and in Philly/San Fran that they overlook the basic tenant of what makes a winning team. Ok, so he doesn't rip your team apart in the same manner he did in Philly......but you have absolutely no chance at the SB because your Number 1 receiver, the guy you gave 10 million to, the biggest story in the offseason, is not a part of your team. Good luck with that, Dallas Fans. Remember, you guys supported this signing. You loved it. You defended it. Now, you are doing damage control and ADMIT he is not a part of the team and no one cares about him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mnj1125 Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 Why is he there?? Well as T.O. stated when he signed with the Cowboys, he wanted to be a star among the stars, right? I understand T.O.'s frustrations, as I am sure Santana might have been frustrated at some points this season, but Santana keeps his mouth shut in public...just like any stand up porfessional athlete should.

Now, you are doing damage control and ADMIT he is not a part of the team and no one cares about him. I don't care what team TO signed with. The other players are going to be at an arms length because of the antics/baggage behind him. Who in thier right mind would back TO on this team in an argument? NOBODY. Why? Because it would bring them into the TO limelight as well. Its something you just wouldn't do. I see the other cowboys players looking at him like he's an alien. Don't get too close, for fear that something might happen. Does this translate to winning on sunday? I don't believe so. I know alot of people do, but I don't. All that crap goes out the window on gamedays. Terry Bradshaw isolated himself from his teammates during the 70's. Never once hung out with other players, or considered any of them freinds. He won 4 superbowls that way. So don't tell me that you have to be a "team player" to win. BS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warhead36 Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 You don't have to be buddy buddy with your teammates, but there has to be that respect and team comraderie bonded between them in order to win. I mean I doubt Mark Brunell and Santana Moss go out to the club and hang out together on late nights. But yet Moss still vehemently(sp?) defended Brunell when he was under fire. TO does the opposite... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MisterPinstripe Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 T.O. needs to shut up. 15 balls were thrown his way in that game, yet he only caught three. Granted, a couple were bad throws he wouldnt be able to catch, but in just a few balls thrown his way that I saw, he outright dropped two easy catches. Short armed at least one. He wants to make plays? Catch the ball. Want more balls? Get open more. He is not even close to the same player he was. He is scared now. Heck, maybe Sean broke him. Who knows. But he is broken.

So don't tell me that you have to be a "team player" to win. BS. I understand your comparison to Bradshaw, but he didn't need to be a "team player" because he was on probably the most talented all around team ever. I agree the other Cowboys view TO as though he's an alien. Except, when he is leading the team in a pregame motivational chant, pulling the oline togehter on the sidelines to pump them up or when together with the WR's, QB's, RB's and/or position coaches to strategize the next possession. Under these circumstances, the other Cowboys appear to view TO as a team leader. TO has the unusual ability to be bring a team together. He can also erase all of that by doing one negative. And oh does he ever have a repertoir of negatives! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
