T.O. suspended for the rest of the season

[Annabelle 0]

anyone who thinks t.o's football career is over is a moronic douchebag. right, no one will take the first or second best receiver in the league on their team? sure, owens will never get as big of money as before, but to state that he'll never play again is completely asinine. and yes, mark my words, owens will be a raider next year. with moss. with porter. moss & owens will be friends for the first few weeks, too. until it falls apart.

TO is too good, someone will take a chance at him. The Raiders isn't that far off since Al Davis could give two shits if you murder babies, just so long as you are contributing to winning football games. It's not like Norv Turner has any control over that team anyways.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

You're not seeing the problem with that.

 

Al Davis will hire the guys who aren't *seen* in public killing babies. If no one sees you do it then there's no crime, no foul. See all the roided up freaks who died before 40. Romo will probably join this group of Raiders if he doesn't get his ass shanked by someone soon.

 

TO on the otherhand *has* murdered, maimed, and raped in broad daylight and the Raiders team would revolt against having an ass like TO on the team. Randy Moss has stated how he does not like TO and that's one of the main reasons why I don't see TO ever suitng up in the Silver and Black. Ever. As long as Moss is there, TO will not.

 

Al Davis might be a lot of things but he's not stupid. Taking on TO would be stupid for any owner or team to do at this juncture, no matter how big of a "playmaker" he is. The guy is a cancerous ass to have on any team.

Gabriel > Porter. Probably even Curry too.

 

But, Moss and Owens would be one scary tandom, especially since their receiving styles would complement each other so well.

I doubt TO's down with the chronic. That's the only way I could see those two getting along: they're so damn high all the time they forget who the bigger asshole is.

Porter = Gabriel. Curry showed glimpses of being really good last season so I hope he comes back strong next season. Moss, Porter, Gabriel, Curry and Courtney Anderson could be a strong receiving unit for years to come.

 

If things were right, Kerry Collins would be throwing for 300 + yards per game. Alas, things are not "right" in the Raider Nation.

 

Having two 6'3"ish WR's battling 5'9" DB's all day would give some teams fits though. But, this is a pipe dream that I hope doesn't come true.

I'll mark your words because it's not going to happen.

[Annabelle 0]

the raiders thing is a stretch, maybe. but t.o will play again. no doubt. mark those words.

 

gabriel has iffy hands. porter has played better lately. no way is gabriel actually better than porter. but with curry in the line-up the raiders have the best 4 receivers in the league.

This season so far, Gabby has been more impressive than Ports. Hopefully, they both try to kick each other's ass's in games and earn a TD or more a game each. That's just me waxing on though...

 

But, Porter's a baller, straight up. He *can* make those awe inspiring hard catches in the end zone and could be the #1 or #2 WR on any team. I was glad the Raiders re-signed him. I was even more stoked when the team signed Moss, which was like the mother of all bonus deals.

[Sass 0]

Btw, if TO can't get along with a laid back and chill QB like Donovan McNabb then TO's hopeless. Honestly, no QB in the league is probably going to want to deal with TO's "give me tha BALL!" bullshit he throws at every QB he's played for. Shit, even Steve Young probably wanted to choke TO out.

[tominator89 0]

As far as the Raiders go:

 

TO will NOT sign for a low salary

Oakland doesn't have the money to pay him what he wants

Kerry Collins doesn't scream big name, franchise QB

They're having a hard enough time splitting time between Moss/Porter

Fans in California know TO as much as anyone. They won't accept it.

 

I can see how some fans might be excited about the talents of TO, but I really think he's done. On the field he's amazing. But, Owens burnt bridges with San Fran, Baltimore, and now Philly. Philly got exactly what they paid for. Any other team who is willing to take a risk on Owens will know exactly what they are getting because his attitude will not change.

[UZI Suicide 0]

T.O. will without a doubt play again. As Banky said he likely won't get the money he wants, but SOMEONE will sign him. Even if it's just to a one year deal for the rest of his career, he will play.

[Failed Bridge 0]

only team I see taking a chance on TO is Denver. Rod Smith is at the end of the line and Lelie isn't a number one. Mike Shannahan was dumb enough to draft Clarrett so going after T.O. isn't a stretch.

[USC Wuz Robbed! 0]

You guys called?

[Fökai 0]

Lol, so TO is still getting paid for every game... that's really showing him!

A million dollars for the four remaining games on his contract isn't worth the headache he brings

Lelie isn't even a #2... unfortunately, he's basically just another Willie Gault. Lots of speed, nice size, and nothin' else.

 

Let's not kid ourselves... EVERY team in the league could use the talents of TO.

 

As for if he'll command a lot of money... I think he will. I have to think at least a few team will want him. He's not a high-risk player. A GM will look like a genius when TO is putting up big stats for the early part of the season.

God, the good news keeps coming for Dallas.

I have no support for this @ all but im gonna predict Seattle to take TO.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

But not many teams are willing to put up with the BS he brings to the table. In the end that will make him have a very limited amount of suitors.

[tominator89 0]

If he was so in demand, why were the only two bidders Philly and Baltimore when he left the 49ers?

 

Owens is out of excuses. Star QB's, winning teams, etc. are gone because of what happened in Philly.

 

If Owens gets another shot, which he may, it'll be a short term deal with a team desperate to sell some tickets and produce quick stats.

[Art Sandusky 0]

Because all teams want to pad their stats. He'll be signed by a team that seems to be missing a piece to get to the next level, but not for long. I wish he'd take a long walk off a short bridge, but whatever. A good player is a good player.

[Dangerous A 0]

Well, he isn't playing again this year. You have to look to see if anyone has the money and have coaches and personnel who will put up with him. Just in the NFC East

 

Cowboys- Nope. Parcells would probrably attempt to strangle him before training camp ends. Parcells couldn't stand Antonio Bryant and he is a choir boy next to TO

 

Redskins- Nope. Gibbs wouldn't put up with his shit either and his number one rule is don't embarass the Redskins off the field. TO would violate that before the season started.

 

Giants- Nope. While Coughlin might be the most likely to give a guy like TO a chance, they just signed Eli, Shockey, and Burress to huge contracts and probrably don't have the money.

 

 

Anyone else think there is a fit for TO and an NFL ballclub?

I still say there's teams out there who can essentially rent him out and say "We'll let you play but if you act up, you're history". It's not that hard. Precedent is already set. If you get him to play as good as he is, It's a steal, if he acts up, you shrug your shoulders and Keyshawn him.

 

I'll name six teams who I could see

 

1. Seattle SeaHawks

2. St. Louis Rams

3. Minnesota Vikings

4. Kansas City Chiefs

5. Miami Dolphins

6. Denver Broncos

 

Why? No reason, but I could see those six teams above all the other teams. TO will play next year. Just a matter of how long.

[teke184 0]

I doubt there is a fit...

 

No WINNING team would bring that kind of a cancer in, no matter what the need is for a receiver, and most losing teams I can think of already have talented receivers that would get pissed if they were displaced by TO.

 

 

 

The teams who are desperate enough to even consider him are:

 

Green Bay

New Orleans

Houston

San Francisco

Cleveland

Detroit

Minnesota

 

 

I don't see any of them taking him, though, for various reasons.

 

 

Green Bay- Donald Driver is the #1 receiver already and, with Javon Walker coming back next year, they wouldn't risk bringing a cancer in at a position they're OK at.

 

New Orleans- Same situation, with Donte Stallworth as the healthy receiver and Joe Horn as the banged-up one. Also, with all of the turmoil surrounding the team's destination, they don't need extra headaches.

 

Detroit- Ummm... no. They've already invested 3 first-round picks on WRs, although it's safe to call Charlie Rogers a bust by now. (2 years out with injuries AND a 4-game drug suspension? What a dumbass) They also don't need TO tearing down whatever bad QB they have under center that week.

 

Cleveland- I don't see Romeo Crennel putting up with that kind of crap and they've already got some quality receivers including Braylon Edwards and, if he's ever healthy, Kellen Winslow Jr.

 

Minnesota- They just got RID of one cancer, they don't need another. Besides that, they've already got enough PR problems of their own.

 

San Francisco- They got rid of him and they won't take him back.

 

Houston- They'd consider it since Andre Johnson is so banged up, but he'll start tearing down what's left of David Carr if he somes in.

 

 

 

Pretty much, he's limited in what role he'll be in if he IS signed anywhere else.

[The Robfather 0]

I don't see how this helps the Eagles. TO is a asshole, but his talent is undeniable.

 

… anyway, I'm sure we'll see more of McNabb choking in clutch situations. And despite it, the sports media will continue to hype this guy. Ho hum.

[Guest *KNK*]

Another factor would be, What QB could handle TO's shit.

 

McNabb and him were best of friends and they turned into sour enemies, TO and Garcia hated each other the whole time.

 

TO says he respects Favre but what does that really mean and he praised Vick but again, What TO says and then does later are different.

[cabbageboy 0]

Vick and T.O. isn't a good idea. Once Vick has a few games where his passing isn't so hot T.O. will be badmouthing him just like McNabb.

 

Favre is really the only one I can think of since I don't think even T.O. would come into Green Bay and put the mouth on Favre. Not unless he has a death wish.

 

To be honest though, a part of me kinda wants to see him in Minnesota. It'd be amusing if nothing else.

Why? It'd be Randy Moss all over again. If we gotta see this act, let's have a new setting.

I think that would finally push Brett into retirement.
