Really, I think that TO could play in a Big 10 - now 12 - offence (three yards and a cloud of dust) and make an impact.
Yeah, he'll still make an impact, but is he going to reach everyone's expectations of playing like he did with the eagles (1st year), I wouldn't think so. He has a lot of learning to do and at this stage of his career and his behavioral issues, I don't think he is very conducive to learning new things.
And what might happen if the media says that he is good but not as good as with Philly and SF - that might affect him even more. I tend to go back to measuring success in relation to expectations.

There is no way anyone could measure up to the expectations of Dallas fans. We have more football ignorant fans than any team except for the Raiders.

... yeah, and I'm thinking what happens when he feels that pressure of not living up to expectations - how does he behave and how does he handle it - if history is taken into account...well you know the rest of this.

You might be right. TO might just burst like a cheap condom and infect the entire locker room like he did in Philly. Or in San Fran.
But I think - hope - that the different circumstances in Dallas will prevent that for a year or two.

I have to post the saying/signature underneath your post:
You are what your record says you are.
Bill Parcells
what does TO's record say about him.

5rings, if theres anyone you REALLY should worry about, its bledsoe. hes notorious for ego and i have this feeling that TO will be on his best behavior this year. if he starts giving it to TO i believe TO will dish it right back

I'll be honest. The chances of this TO signing turning out differently than when he was with San Fran and Philly are pretty low. There is a huge risk factor.
It would take a level of self examination on TO's part that is difficult for anyone to do.
But if it does go well, it'll be another Jerruh gamble that worked out - Haley, Deion - and he can lord it over the good ol'boys down at the country club.

honestly i think itll take a year before the TO implosion. if drew is a good boy, i think the boys win 8-9 games next year.
