If you think he's the same player that's fine...i won't fight you on that. I am not convinced he is and i don't want him on my team regardless.

That's the problem...he's the same TO. When he does not get the ball enough (in his estimation), he becomes the locker room problem. How many teams has he been....kicked off? Do we really need to be the next? Surely at 4-12 we do not need to import any new challenges?

agree.
it's not just the baggage of him crying about touches... it's (obviously) also the media circus which would be even bigger due to the McNabb-TO factor. on top of all that, he's got the dropsies....

Absolutely. :thumb: Besides TO being a major asshat I think that sums it up pretty well.

Nice to see some Buckeyes are signing with the Skins.

I think Owens showed in Buffalo that he can still play a little bit, but I'm skeptical that any team that needed to throw to Owens enough for him to rack up 1,000 yards could be a good offense.

Lee Evans saw fewer balls than Owens last year which is bad for producing points.

What a useless signing. Galloway will be 39 in November, and he has exactly 20 catches for 205 yards...........in TWO years! It would be a travesty to our youth movement if he is still here come first game.

AT 15 yards a pop all he needed was 11 more catches last year to reach 1000. I don't see why he wouldn't be good for 60+ catches on a good team.

At 11 more catches, that's what, 20-23 more targets? That's putting him in the Brandon Marshall no-one-else-in-the-offense range.

Not that you couldn't throw him the ball 130-140 times in a season at age 36 to get him 60-70 catches, it's just that I would not.

How many targets did he have for his 55 catches?

109. Actually down considerably from his Dallas days.

I wonder how many of the misses were due to bad throws... I know he's always high in drops too.

I'm sure a factor in his perceived "decline" has been poor quarterbacking in his most recent two seasons, though, Owens has been the beneficiary of Jeff Garcia in his prime, Donovan McNabb in his prime, and Tony Romo in his prime over the course of his career.
