Who replaced TO with this guy?

Maybe he's mellowing..........LOL. There is a lot more to the Philly thing than people want to admit. I think I mentioned that on another post and I'll leave it at that.

Who is surprised? Since leaving Philly TO seems to have had a change of heart because he has had some kind words when thinking of his old QB lately. The problem was he and his agent thought he deserved a better contract than the one he signed in the beginning of the year. Anyone who knows the Eagles knows they dont work that way. When things didnt go his way he threw his team under the bus hoping that if he got enough traction hed get his new deal... didnt happen.

and now he is on a better team with a better QB (Look at the stats before you bash) end of story.

If you are a Philly fan or a Niners fan this probably has to piss you off, he threw both QBs and both teams under the bus because he was unhappy and whatever he could for himself whether it was good for the team or not.

It doesn't piss me off. Just showing that maybe the guy has decided to grow up. He probably realizes the way he acted before was not the best way to handle situations and now he more mature. Don't like the guy but I can accept that he has changed.

That's cool.

Well, we'll see if he's changed once contract time comes up.......LOL. Saying it and doing it is two totally different things.

Let Romo win a playoff game first before you start talking that junk

Maybe so, but he still hasn't reached the pinnacle of all games with the boys, he did in philly after...how many seasons? oh yea, the first.

im sorry but how is tony homo the better quarterback...last time i checked he has never won a playoff game........and mcnabb has been to the super bowl so i know thats where you going with him being the better quarterback....i mean look what mcnabb without to all those years.....3 nfc championship games, though they were losses he still got them there....and homo has had him and what has he done with him??? so take your stats and stick em up your.....

IF WE WOULD HAVE KEPT THIS GUY I WOULD NOT HAVE TO BE READING ALL THE STORIES ABOUT ROY WILLIAMS,CHAD JOHNSON OR BOLDIN AND THAT IN ITSELF WOULD HAVE BEEN WORTH REWORKING HIS CONTRACT,WE WERE A SUPER BOWL CONTENTER AS OPPOSED TO THE SUPER BOWL "PRETENDER" WE ARE TODAY....THANKS JEFF AND JOE THE GOLD STANDARD TWINS

Jerry Jones is a very powerful man.TO and DR better respect that.

maybe TO finally realized that if he screws up again that nobody will want him so he straightened his act out.

Another thing is that he is too old to be messing with people now. He doesn't have that many good years left. And, I wouldn't count on the acting career if I was him.

Are you talking about his porn career?

Yeah.....whatever makes him money, I guess. Gotta do what ya gotta do..........LOL.

He got screwed by his agent leaving san fran. Philly wouldn't even discuss a raise with him. Jerry Jones paid the guy. His quarterback respects him and gets him the ball. He has no reason to be pissed. He's the same guy. When people feel appreciated they tend to have your back as well.

It is kind of funny how some players can be a "problem" somewhere and then go to another team and not be a problem at all.

Winning helps, just think of a guy like Corey Dillon, he was no problem with the Pats after he left Cincy.

Hopefully, that will be the case with Chad Johnson when he comes to Dallas.

and he didn't win with the Eagles????

so you really think Chad & t.o. would get along? you dont think romo would constantly have to hear them yammering about not getting the ball? especially if he keeps dropping passes.
not even dallass could handle that many egos.

I always knew if things didnt work out in Philly that he'd end up in dallass. but he came very close to doing a "freddie mitchell" and almost talked himself out off the league.
yeah, he chilled out a bit. but he is getting older and based on his disruptive history: relationships with 3 all pro qb's (Young, Garcia, McNabb), insulted the Ravens organization, the pills, etc.
maybe somebody did sit him down, or maybe this is just another mood swing.

just dont be surprised if he goes on another "me" trip again.

I don't remember him having any issues with Steve Young. Please refresh my memory.

"3, Terrell Owens: His horrendous attitude divided the organization and helped create bad vibes throughout the building."
http://49ers.pressdemocrat.com/default.asp?item=181206

I left out his relationship with his coaches:
"Each has said a lack of communication led to a crumbling of the relationship, one that actually began well when Mariucci was named the team's head coach in 1997, Owens's second season with the team. But things deteriorated when Owens twice dashed from the end zone to the Dallas Cowboys' midfield star and posed after touchdowns in 2000, a display that resulted in Mariucci's suspending him for a week and fining him one week's pay, $24,294.

Last season, Owens openly criticized Mariucci's play-calling when he didn't feel he was getting the ball enough. He called his relationship with Mariucci irreparable. Never had a 12-4 season been so rocky. "

And of course he Parcells couldn't even refer to him by his name. "The 'Player.."

But i'm sure he and Jones came to an understanding after all that mess with S.F, Philly, and Rosenhous ("Next question!").
He's knows this is his last chance.

but can he hold it down?

nothing new here and nothing about Young. Just keep hating

I don't believe that he has had this change of heart or has grown up. The money was an excuse in Philly. T.O.'s single biggest need has always been to play first fiddle. When he played second fiddle to someone else or felt disrespected he lashed out. In Dallas, he is given all the attention he wants and more. It is no different with anyone else. When you love your job, you do it well and are happy. When you are unhappy the first thing people say is, "I don't get paid enough for this". This club's profile just fits his personality. Winning is nice but he wasn't a problem when we were 9-7 (9-8 counting Seattle). No, it is the attention and freedom from judgement.

TO barely played with steve young and when he did it was before he developed his giant ego. Talking about getting paid, TO may have gotten more a year with dallas but with philly he had a 7 year 49 million dollar contract. He could have very well screwed himself in the long run in this deal. And for cowboydude who says "he's on a better team now with a better quarterback(check the stats)." Maybe you should check the stats because last time I checked the first year he was in philly he played in the superbowl. How many superbowls has his better team and better quarterback gotten him yet. That's right, they can't even win a playoff game. Maybe you should check the stats because this one matters the most.

"Played in". Didn't win. Another stat that matters.

I remember it the same way Bula does. As long as Young was on the team, T.O. was just a talented protege of Jerry Rice's.

And I'd bet Jerry never let him forget it, I'm Jerry Rice and you are. . .

He's probably losing sleep over it every night now just like I do.

I don't know about that. Until the incident in Dallas he and Jerry were pretty close. According to Jerry anyway. Besides Jerry is one of the most humble athletes I can think of. He'd be thinking it but probably never say it.

regardless of whether they won the superbowl or not, the 2004 eagles are still a superior team to the 2006 and 2007 cowboys. That is the point i was trying to make. You can't claim that he has moved on to a better team with a better quarterback until the new team goes as far as the old team and until the new quarterback proves he can close at the end of the season. Even as a cowboys fan, you have to admit that tony romo seems to have a trend of being less than stellar towards the end of the season and into the playoffs. Here's some more stats for you mcnabb '04 31 td's only 8 int with a qb rating of 104.7. tony romo '07 36 td with 19 int with a qb rating of 97.4. 5 more td's 11 MORE INT'S. I'll give mcnabb the edge for qb rating and 11 less int's

Speaking of less than stellar performances toward and at the end of seasons, take a look inside your own house instead of spouting a bunch of useless stats, dude. We have a QB who is going in to less than his third season and an upgraded backfield and defensive backfield. Start spouting your stuff on September 15th. After that, we might listen.

How bout these stats Bula. Before the 2004 superbowl Donovan McNabb was the only quarterback since Danny White to lead his team to three consecutive conference championship losses. His passer rating in those three games was 50.5. That rating is 10 points lower than the what the worst quarterback earns for a rating in a full season.I won't even mention his superbowl performance in 2004. Tony Romo isn't even close to reaching his potential. I think when it's all said and done Tony Romo is probably going to end up with at least one superbowl.

Bula, at least tell the whole story. I really wanted to stay out of this one, too.

only seven points difference in qb rating with eleven more int's? How can that be? Could it be because Tony Romo has a higher completion %, yards per attempt, yards per catch, touchdown %, yards per game, fewer sacks, and a smaller sack %? Tony's numbers so far in his career are hall of fame numbers. Sure a playoff run would help that case, but he has less than two years starting. Compare that to Donovan's first two seasons.
It can absolutely be opined that T.O. has moved on to a better team with a better qb. The qb I covered already and the team, well, this team saw what he needed to be great and gave it to him. How is that not better than allowing TWO massive egos get out of control and destroy a lockerroom? How is it not better having him score 28 touchdowns in two years? You didn't even have him for two years. Everyone wants to blame one guy for the mistakes of at least a dozen people. Get over it. T.O. was just one player in that chapter of your franchise.

"a better team" that can't get out of the first round of the playoffs? versus the team that went to the super bowl in terrell's first year with them.
yeah, they lost (Pats cheat? possible)
but they got there, and got through the playoffs without him.

"better team" indeed.

and who was the second "massive ego" you were referring to? McNabb? are you serious?
how come no one has ever had problems with McNabb before your boy?
the kid is shallow. Hope for the best, but don't get blinded like everyone else has in Philly & SanFran.
He's a great talent, but sometimes that comes with a price.

Playoffs? Playoffs?????????? Looks like your team is getting used to not making it. As you so know, that habit is hard to break and something tells me Dallas is going to break that habit before you. Cheers, dude.

Yes they are the better team for T.O.. There is no discussion his attitude and preformance tell the whole tale there and, yes, McNabb is the other ego. If you think that T.O. caused all of that in both cases then why has everything been so smooth in Dallas? It takes at least two to tangle and once a tangle gets started the organization SHOULD do whatever it takes to keep it working. Our quarterback is humble enough to let him have the spotlight and our owner is player friendly. How would you improve the team for T.O.? Doesn't mean he is an upstanding role model to the clergy, it just means he can be a happy well adjusted superstar when his needs are met. Doesn't look like it took too much either. Just a little respect and some attention. Your loss.

In response to your comment that no one else has had problems with McNabb before T.O. all I have to say is that I have two 20 year friendships with players from his highschool team and I went to school just one town over. No one liked him and his ego then and it hasn't changed since. Why was Garcia ran out of town? Garcia, who is known to be difficult to deal with also, says that it was McNabb who was unwilling to compete for his job. Especially in light of Garcia saving the season for his team.

Who was it recently that had words for their QB. Shepherd? Let it roll. The truth is getting ready to be exposed. Garcia might still be the starter if he was still there. Like you said, it takes two to tango and it wasn't just T.O. If McNabb would have run out like that, they would be spitting on him the same way right now. Get over it, Philly fans. It's done. It's a new era and just sit back and let it happen.

Bula. I have to agree with cowboyswin08. I posted McNabb's postseason stats above and they're not pretty. Everybody said Moss was trouble when he came to New England and look how that worked out. He even was offered millions more to go play for your quarterback and refused. It's a similar situation with T.O. and Dallas. You blame T.O. in his relationship with McNabb but there are no problems with Romo. They're having a good time.

Amen. End of sermon. Philly fans. Go find another church to preach in, would ya? Geeze!!! It's the same crap over and over again.

soooooooo, t.o.'s OD was because of some Philly flashback?
Not another cry for attention?
ok.

So McNabb is the same guy he was in high school, but crybaby is a completely changed man in two years time? riiiight.

i get it. enjoy the weekend

McNabb has changed in 20 years, why should T.O? He's gone, he's here, so get over it, dude. Go to something more meaningful like improving on your 8-8 record of last year. Don't you just get tired of spouting the same crap over and over? It's a new season. Focus on that , dude. We are.

At some point you are going to have to read everything I say. I am tired of repeating myself to you. I AM NOT SAYING TO CHANGED. Quite the opposite. I am saying his needs are being met here in Dallas. Just like they were early in San Fran.

Problem is , Cowogys....they don't want to listen because they still think they are the best team in the NFC East. I say, let them keep on thinking that. The bubble may burst this year and I want to see who they are going to blame.

I don't think that we are the best team in the nfc east. ON PAPER the cowboys roster is probably a little better than ours. I emphasize ON PAPER because none of us will know who the best team in the nfc east is for about six more months. The only argument that I made was that the team that he left was better than the team that he went to so far. that's great that tony romo may not have reached his full potential but TO may not be around when he does.
