Guest bleeds Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 With regular season about about to start, and TO without any real accomplishments this year in preseason, who's with me on him being overrated, still? Can he make it through the season without a meltdown this year? I'm bettin' no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagleborn Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 I doubt he makes it thru the year without some sort of drama. Dudes a cry baby. He should already be off the milk but isnt. I wonder why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tatum_DirtyBird Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 I know, all the #### he started last year... oh wait, he's been on pretty good behavior since he got to Dallas. You guys are as bad or worse than the media. He stays close to the top of the League in catches and thangs so IF he is over-rated, it's not by much.

DLeihman32878 Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 Everyone is entitled to their opinion, so I won't go after the people who don't like T.O's bravado. Some people like flashy players, others admire "blue collar" players--doesn't make one any better than the other. The one thing I will debate is the original argument in this thread--"T.O. is overrated because he hasn't put up any numbers in this pre-season." The last time I checked a player is not measured on how they play in the pre-season. Many NFL stars play very little (like Owens) or not at all (like Manning and Brady) in the pre-season. The pre-season exists for two reasons--one, veterans can knock off the rust and for rookies to earn a spot on a roster. The pre-season is not for number of invidual accolades. Statiscally, T.O. is one of the best receivers in the history of the game, better than anyone in Cowboy's history (and I'm a huge Cowboy's homer). If I extend the logic in this thread I could say that Payton Manning is overrated since he hasn't thrown for any yards this pre-season. If you think T.O. is arrogant and pompous, fine, but don't let your personal bias blur your view of what "good" is... I think Tom Brady is "soft" and I don't like him, but I would never say he is overrated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KirtFalcon Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 I'd say he is under utilized, not over rated! :pirate: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a difference between bad behavior and the hungry media blowing up stories. Believe me, I was the first to say " Oh no " when Dallas picked T.O. up but I decided to give the guy a clean slate and so far I've been pleasently surprised.

Sorry. Couldn't let this one go. And you can count on him to drop about 6-8 would-be touchdown passes a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
