I thought you had some good arguements up until this little quote. Please ask the Dallas, Philly, and SF organizations and players what they think about that. There has not been a WR in the league who has caused such a problem with this many teams. He continually throws his coaches and his QBs under the bus and if he doesnt get the ball thrown to him a majority of the time, it is like watching a ticking time bomb.

I said his ATTITUDE. Every great WR in the NFL has that attitude that they should get thrown the ball everytime. TO is only one of the few that speaks out about it.

Ever hear of Larry Fitzgerald? I don't see him doing that? Yes, most think they are the best ever. They have to. But most understand that they aren't the only one out there. T.O. thinks he should be the primary target on every play. And that is simply not good football.

He's a damn drama queen. Yea, most of the top shelf WR's have ego problems. They are clowns as well. But T.O. Takes the Grand Prize.

Theres another wideout named Johnson in Houston. I hear he's pretty good. But thats all I hear about him. Nothing else.

Well, yeah isn't that slightly the point? Andre Johnson's style allows him to go out and play the game to a great extent, and most coaches would tell you he's currently one of the best in the sport. Same with Larry Fitzgerald.

They don't need to go around and act like a clown to get the recognition they deserve. Now I'm not gonna come out and call TO trash, but the fact that he's damaged and harmed his relationship with many teams and coaches because of his antics, well thats unprofessional.

I don't hate the guy, and yeah plenty of other players have done way worse things. He's still a cancer to almost every team he's been on. Don't change the fact that I wouldn't want him on my team and I'd never want to see him in the HoF, no matter the numbers he's put up.

Just like it was said in an earlier post he's just the only one that speaks his mind. I don't think he needs or needed to do those things to get recognition he just wanted to do it just because. And the HOF is about what you do on the field and on the field Owens is one of the greats.

Throwing your teammates under the bus is hardly just speaking your mind.

My whole point is that his attitude and his lack of professionalism is what many people will remember. Not his talents.

Dude was a shoddy teammate as well.
