Terrell Owens Interested in Joining Patriots

Moss

Clicked on this thread thinking it was necro'd from 2009. Anyone who thinks Moss or TO are coming back is insane.

Can't blame t.o for wanting to jump on the bandwagon lol

Breaking News: I have been trying to contact the Patriots to let them know that I am willing to have a tryout to play WR for them. So far I have only been able to speak to a cashier at the Pro Shop and she said some not very nice things to me. More details to come.....

This deserves its own thread.

That's my Quarterback...

I heard Jerry Rice said he would be interested in joining the Patriots too (then someone told Rice they don't allow stick 'em anymore......he changed his mind).

I can't comment on how TO (or Moss) might fit into the Pats culture but if either occupied Dobson's (who goes on IR) roster spot, and they failed to contribute, then so what ..... nothing will have changed by adding them.

TO or Moss are past the end of their playing careers (not having praciced or played a snap in years). If they don't contribute it is because they are no longer able to or desire to contribute. Their ceiling was already identified and their well documented downward production trend says this is exactly what we can expect from them without any chance of it improving. There would be a 0.0% (rounded off to a tenth) chance of production improvement.

Dobson is coming into what will/would be the peak years of his production. Sure, it is not much of a peak so far that is for sure, however, he has an identifiable chance to snap into being more productive than previously demonstrated the past 26 games. He still has an unknown ceiling. It may not be a great chance to achieve a higher ceiling but it is a quantifiable chance to hit a new one. IMHO the main thing holding back Dobson is health. IMHO his rookie year production of 11 games with 37 catches, 4 TDs and a 14 yard per catch average will be surpassed if the guy can stay healthy long enough to be out practicing instead of using up that valuable time in rehab.
Take it FWIW....

I don't disagree that ther my still be some future hope (though it is dwindling very fast) for Dobson but, with this latest high ankle sprain injury, I'm not sure Dobson has any chance to help this team out any way this season. As such, he might as well be placed on IR. If so, then most anyone (even the likes of an aging Moss or TO) could suitably replace him without any downgrade in performance. IMHO.

There would be a huge downside to bringing in either Moss or T.O. that has nothing to do with on-field performance.

gee...never thought of THAT, Tunes....you're right...man, THAT was close. I almost joined the Goofy Goona parade my dyam self...

TO is interested in ANY team that will sign him.

He's desperate.

TO hasnt played in the league in years, he is old, bad and would have to learn a new playbook. You might as well see if Jerry Rice is available

Fair point. With this latest injury it does seem semi-bleak that Dobson can pitch in any production this year. The guy so desperately needs to be out on the practice field with the coaches and with the players who get a lot of snaps. He needs to be out there running practice snap after practice snap after practice snap instead of using valuable time up nursing an injury and rehabbing. It just keeps setting him further back from the others who are progressing/gelling.

With that said, BB is not the kind of guy who would keep Dobson on the 53 if he thought there is almost no chance he could be productive. He would, or will be very shortly, IR him. At this point in the season and with this many injuries, BB and staff value every roster spot greatly. So since Dobson is not yet on IR I tend to think BB and staff see something in Dobson to suggest he can contribute (of course they are not perfect and certainly could be wrong).

Three words: sign the beast!

I'd rather have tiquan underwood

Getcha Osteo Bi Flex ready!

I remember his little spell with the Seahawks...he was blowing by CBs like he was back in the prime.....then dropping the ball with no defenders around him.

He would have been worth at least a workout if his hands hadn't gone by the time he left the league.

Would Joseph Fauria still be wearing #81 if he showed up?
