With that said Dallas has never had a problem finding quality QB's

My point is if you release TO why not Romo? Who plays his position better?
TO came to Romo's rescue not the other way around.

Are you kidding me? It's not who plays his position better. One position is MUCH more important than the other. Look what happened when Romo was out of the line-up. The Cowboys offense wasn't even functionable. Cowboys will be fine w/out TO. They still have good wr's in Williams, Crayton, Austin and Witten at TE.

I don't know Hog, I just like his talent and would feel robbed as a fan of football if he was gone. Maybe I'm off here.

Not to get off subject but, it seems like we are willing to take a chance on Hall who has similar tendacies. At least TO is a proven great football player.

I like Hall too

We could DEFINATELY use his talent! IMO, we cannot afford the baggage that goes with it. It's some team's "greed" to win at any cost that makes them think they can handle T.O.'s challenges. If we could just....deal with him, he ...might put us over the top....WRONG.
It's not like this is his first problem. Check the Eagles, and Niners as well. I am confident they are happy he is gone.
AND on a sidebar, I heard that idiot Colin Cowherd lump T.O. and Portis in the same pot. I nearly lost my lunch!
AND, AND 44ever, I respect your opinion on the issue, but I cannot endorse it. TOO many problems. We already have potential locker room probs

Without getting onto to many subjects, I will answer.
No I'm not kidding.

Yes QB is more important than reciever

If a starter relieved Romo the offense would function fine maybe better in big games.

Yes I agree the Cowboys would be fine without TO but not as fine. I also think the Cowboys would be just as effective without Romo if the Williams, Crayton, Austin and Witten equivalent of a QB stepped in.

Cowboys probably won't release TO anyway

Thanks Hog. I was only looking for opinions. I appreciate all of them. And I agree with what you said. My original thought was not wanting to see him leave the NFL. Because I personally like watching him play football. I also agree Portis and TO can't be compared

[MonkFan4Life]

The problem with T.O. is that he has unquestionable talent. Right now he'd be a significant upgrade over anything that we have now. Nothing against Moss but T.O. is just a playmaker. I'd love to have him but not trying to be too cliche, we have many more things to fix on this team. The money could be well spent somewhere else. I wanted him when the Eagles got him, then when the Cowboys got him. Yeah he's an ass and all but the guy does make your team better.

I'm agree, but is he a guy you would want to give a big contract to? I'm not sure I would.

I'd like to see them keep him, and him to keep destroying the team ...how bout them cowboys....ya gotta love it

[markymark]

maybe danny boy can control him!!!!!!!

[Ruhskins]

Maybe T.O. needs to go to Oakland, since it has become the Betty Ford Clinic rehab for a-hole players (see R. Moss, D. Hall).

Honestly, I think T.O. was not a problem in Philly, it was more of Andy Reid making sure everyone bowed down to McNabb. All T.O. wanted in Philly was more money, and I personally think he deserved that money since he played great for them throughout the season and was their only positive note from the SB. Had T.O. stayed in Philly, the Iggles would have had a dominant team.

I must say, the Cowboys are turning into the Bengals, thinking that one person is the sole reason behind their problems. Jerry Jones put together a teams with several head cases (Pacman Jones, Tank Johnson, T.O., etc., etc.) with a softee of a coach. Oh well, who cares about them, I hope they continue in their dysfunctional ways.

I really hope that TO stays in Dallas. I loved it when they signed him. Even if they do release him they'll have to eat alot of dead cap, right? He was right though, McNabb froze in the SB.

No, unfortunatly. The problem with TO coming to DC isn't money it isn't the contract. It's not even his on field entertainent. It's he would overpower JC and keep him from developing. Demanding the ball and thinking he is the saviour of the Skins. We need guys on the same level with standouts like Fletch. We could use TO talent but not his character. Unfortunatly!

If he wanted more money then go to management and not the media. Don't do sit ups in your driveway making a publcity stunt. Don't go to training camp and piss everyone off and act like an asshole cause you want more money. I don't understand how anyone can stick up for this guy. I mean he comes out and calls Garica a homosexual. WTF??

Tank Johnson actually has been a good person on and off the field for Dallas. Ratliff just beat him out and I don't think Johnson is a 3-4 NT anyway. He was playing out of position. He's a 4-3 DT and he might come available. I'd take Johnson as it seems he's turned his life around, I wouldn't take TO.

i was kidding about the danny boy thing. to would hurt the skins a lot more then help. and i was just watching espn, damn that guy was just dropping balls when he was wide open. no thanks
