True he may have ran wrong routes....sometimes he looked like he did during a game but how much of it was the other WR ran the wrong route bringing all the defenders into the zone T.O. was supposed to be in? How much of it was T.O. could not hear the play being changed at the line of scrimage?
No one can dispute T.O. has talent it's just his attitude and chemistry. If he could curb the attitude and focus it on the field toward the other team, and have chemistry with a team he would be dangerous. You put him with a team with a strong coach and perhaps word his contract right in case he acts up he knows he can be fined or cut, then he will be fine. He'll destroy the Raiders even further in to dispare. NE would be a good stop for him with the strong HC.
I wouldn't mind having him with the Skins with a decent contract but it's the chemistry issue and I don't know if Zorn could keep him in check. and the Hall incident. He definitly would be our #1 we've needed to compliment Moss and perhaps our new guys could learn a little about route running and using their body to shield the ball from defenders. He would be pissed with Dallas enough to play harder.
Dallas has their issues this year. I don't see them doing very well. They have lost a few peices to their puzzle and even though w/o T.O. the chemistry will be better they have lost a DE, CB, WR and I can't remember what else. WR and DE could be picked up in the draft but as most of us have figured out by now 1st yr WR don't amount to much. DE would be their best bet in the first round then either WR who is talented and tall or a shut down CB. In any case I think they screwed themselves even though they have Williams.

The knock on him his entire career has been sloppy route running and he will drop his fair share. Sounds like you're making excuses for him.
