These guys touch the ball more than 25 times a game. Owens will help, but how exactly does an upgrade over Keyshawn make Dallas a Super Bowl contender.
Yes, Dallas is probably a playoff team, but I think that has more to do with the natural progression of their young defense than the signing of Terrell Owens. But super bowl contender? C'mon.

Very well said. People seem to forget that the Eagles team he "improved" was a three time championship game participant, whose glaring weakness was at WR. The Cowboys didn't make the playoffs last year, and WR wasn't the problem with them - O line, secondary, special teams, and injuries held them down. In fact, Glenn and Johnson played fairly well.
Are the Cowboys improved on the field by his addition - no question. But they made a strength stronger, rather than eliminating a weakness.
