This is true. If TO's career hadn't been such a mess it's possible that he could have gone down as the greatest wide out ever.
If TO had started earlier and played all the years Young played in SF TO would have been remembered as the heir apparent to Jerry Rice. If he had been picked by the Colts in the 96 draft in either round 2 or 3, instead of Dedric Mathis or Scott Slutzker then he would have emerged as Peyton's #1 with Harrison as #2, would probably still be on the team and they would have won a ring as early as that 99 season and maybe had beaten the Pats both times in 03 and 04.That's how good TO is.

Dallas has had 1 major problem lately: leadership. Wade is a good defensive guy but not everyone is cut out to be the HC of the cowboys, especially with all of the different personalities on the team. (overall wade didnt do a terrible job at all. Aside from our fallout this year, but thats another story). Look at us with Garrett as HC, even as offenisvely challenged he is sometimes we're headed in a new direction. And last year we took the division without Owens, and u being a Giants fan, I know u remember that.
I agree most def, Moss is a talented guy but never shows up... TO Usualy always plays hard

And last year we took the division without Owens, and u being a Giants fan, I know u remember that.Yeah they won without Owens, but it's not like he was the reason they weren't winning before. His last year there Romo missed a bunch of games which really hurt their playoff chances. Yeah they looked like shit in that game vs Philly but I don't think you can put that on Owens either. In the two years before that they shouldn't have lost in the first round. The year before that they had the Giants beat and would've won the game if Romo hadn't missed an easy TD pass to TO in the end zone. And the year before that they were on the way to beating my Seahawks and would have if Romo hadn't fumbled that FG kick. I'm not saying they can't win without him cause they obviously have a talented team, I just find it funny how people think Owens was some major problem and that they're better without him.
