Redskins Interested in TO

[gibbsisgod]

This goes against every thing Gibbs is doing here. Gibbs is not just about winning now, he may want to win now but he is building for the future.The team that picks up TO is clearly only worried about the here and now. He will give you maybe one good season(if he can stay healthy) and then he will start his crybaby bullshit tactics until he totally distroys the clubhouse.he is a ME first player in a TEAM sport. This will not happen under Joe Gibbs!

I guess the question that you have to ask yourself is whether the current team has enough talent to win the Super Bowl. I loved this year's team. They played like 53 brothers and after beating the crap out of the Seahawks (who I think will win on Sunday) they showed that they were the toughest team in the playoffs.

However, I think that even the most die hard fans would have to admit that the balls bounced their way several times this year. I do not think that the current team has enough talent to win it all (and don't tell me that Randle-El is the key to a title). Now if you add T.O. to the equation and they look like a champion...

They also were in the Superbowl and had the ball with a chance to win the game but I guess you wouldn't want the Redskins in that position...

since T.O. has been in the league, there have been 19 superbowl teams that didnt have T.O. and 1 that did(and they lost) We don't need T.O.

Nice argument. So what player do you think can make the Redskins a contender?

easy big fella, i do want to be in that position, but not in the one like philly. i think we can win w/o to

My take is NO to T.O. Id make a sign but nobody would see it. Hes nothing but trouble. Thats the last thing this team needs a spoiled b*tch ass like T.O. When we got that guy who wore #21 a few years ago (I hope we finished paying off his contract) and now wears #37 in Baltimore I never liked him as a Redskin. I never cheered for him, and yes that includes when he would return a pick or punt for a TD, which I think he only did once or twice. Anyways all Im saying, if T.O. comes here I will not cheer for him. I will not buy his jersey. He is definitely not a Gibbs guy so Im really not that worried about T.O. landing in DC. Id say he'll end up i neither Denver or Miami.

t.o. isnt coming per comcast so this is idle banter

Terrell Owens in a Redskin uniform is something that could work if Owens has been sobered by the appropriate discipline the Eagles meted out.

The Redskins have developed a very strong authority structure based in the coaching staff. Owens requires that to be successful. He didn't have it in SF where Mariucci was basically on his own. The Eagles were strong enough to bite the bullet and sideline him, and that is something they are to be commended for. But they weren't strong enough to find a way to direct him to being a cooperative person.

The Redskins may be his only chance to be successful. Joe Gibbs has such a strong and caring, yet firm presence and the staff has such quality player management people, that if Owens can't make it in Washington, he might as well retire. Owens needs an entirely new kind of situation to reorient himself. And with the addition of Saunders, Gibbs will have more energy to put into player management himself.

I don't really think that Parcells can take him on - he already has his hands full with Keyshawn Johnson, and Parcells doesn't have the support Gibbs does with the staff, (because Parcells prefers to dominate things and doesn't want to share influence with others so much.) Shanahan might be able to manage him ok, but he might not be able to, and in any case, I think it would take up too much of his energy to be worth it to them. I don't think that Herman Edwards wants to kick off his new career in KC with a difficult player like Owens, and their offense is already in good shape anyway.

By the way if the Cowboys pick up a player that would worry me it would be Brett Favre. Favre won't play for Green Bay anymore, and I think Jones will pursue Favre to the utmost when it becomes clear to the Packers they have to trade him or watch him retire.

Nice first post, welcome to the board!

Forget TO. Snyder should cut a deal for McNabb!

[saskin]

I don't think we should get TO, but if Gibbs decides to take a shot, I'll support him (highly unlikely).

But I do think whichever team he goes to, he'll have a good first year cause I think his contract will be built heavily on incentives. And if he screws up a third time, I don't see many teams going after him.

But I can't help but imagine what Moss, Owens, Portis would be able to accomplish....course there's only one ball.

[BleedBurgundy]

No way. I can't see anything but drama with TO, wherever he goes...
