Completely Unfounded Speculation - Could Miami Use Terrell Owens?

After seeing him behind the scenes on Hard knocks…..no thank you, the fact that 24 of my fellow phinsiderffl fans voted yes, baffles me especially with all the talent there this yr.
Marshall
Bessie
Hartline
Gates
Kivas
Wallace

if this was a situation where I felt that Owens could be that one missing piece to contend for the superbowl, then I would be all for it. However, we are much further away than that and I really don’t think Owens would be content with the limited number of passes Henne’s #2 option would see.

Not only do I think he would stunt the growth of some of the younger WRs and force a WR like Wallace or Moore off the club, but I think some of our guys are just flat out better right now.

Besides, the workout for Tiki Barber was probably a favor to the agent. The Brett Favre rumors never had to do with anything the Dolphins did either, but it was speculation by Omar Kelly, which was forwarded to the national media level. It’s not like Miami is actively going out looking for aging vets because of a desperate “win now” mentality. It was all speculation brought on by the great Omar Kelly.

don’t need TO, don’t want TO.

If I’m Jeff Ireland, I’m checking in on how Terrell Owens health is – WHY NOT?! The power is out, stuff your face with treats.

the addition of owens would mean one of the young guys probably wont make the team.. LIVAS!!

Too many other areas of need more important. Like o-line and pass rushers or maybe even another "faster, every-down RB "

you could have Marshall, TO and Jerry Rice out there but if you dont have a QB consistantly hitting his (own) receivers it’s all for naught.

but this year he would just inhibit some very young WR talent just beginning to develop.

As for all the criticisms of TO destroying a locker room, I believe most of that is without basis. Sure, years ago he was a diva but in his last two years with the Bungles and Bills he has been very quiet. Even more impressive is that he is still productive for his age. I still think TO is a very good receiver and a viable option for a number of teams. I think he would be a great fit for the Jets if Plax is down for to long.

GUYS I NEVER EVER WANT IN OR EVEN WITHIN 100 MILES OF MY FOOTBALL TEAM:

Terrell Owens
Daunte Culpepper
Brett Favre
Tiki Barber
Donavon McNabb
Plaxico Burress

and of course:

Tim Tebow

GUYS I WANT ON MY FOOTBALL TEAM:

Tom Brandstater

Why take a declining TO at the expense of potential future contributors. Wallace, Moore, Livas, and Gates could stack our receiving corps for the next 10 years. TO, even without the attitude concerns, is a 1 to 2 year bandaid.

last year yes. This year no. We already have a lot of young talent. Marshall, Bess, Gates, Hartline, Wallace, Livas. There simply isn’t any room.

We need a QB.

But we’re stacked at WR….maybe if it’s late in the season and we need a boost or some of our receivers are struggling?

i will make this simple……………………….NO THANKS. even i am not that old and stupid yet.

as my great grand pappy use to say: ???? what the hell kinda bone headed idea is that.

Tiki, Favre, T.O. are we really that bad offensively?

It’s on the QB now.

not to mention our depth at WR is pretty damn good as it is

and he will most likely produce pretty well, however Marshall, Bess, Gates, Hartline, Wallace, Moore, Livas that’s one crowded and talented receiver core as is. Having so many young up and coming players and already most likely having to cut one I don’t think bringing in a rapidly aging receiver and forcing another of our young studs out the door would be wise. Id much rather keep the guys we have now.

i think he would be a big time upgrade over hartline.

i just don;t want the (extra) negativity in the locker room.

If he has grown up in his mind as most people do as they get older, he may help this team. If he is still the same old T.O. then No. I am open for bringing in help cause we need it. New England is stacked on D and there O has not been bad in years. Jets took a step backwards but still very very soild. We just brought in another player drafted in the 7th round and was cut? I dont understand this F.O. sometimes. I understand you want your type of guys, good guys , strong hearted, but how about bringing in a game changer. Yes we have gotten a few, Bush Marshall, Dansby, Burrnett, but what I am saying is dont stop. If everybody elsr is upgrading we need to make the same move or we will be lost !! So if he came come in and be positive yes I want him, Henne needs all the help he can get, plus he would help the run. With him and Marshall the safteys wont cheat up towards the line.

remind of a fanshot (I think) from a couple days ago about fans from other teams pretending to be Dolphins fans just to start arguments. There’s no way 52% of Dolphins fans are that stupid.

The answer is: no. Wait, that’s not quite right. Hell, no. For incredibly obvious reasons already enumerated by others, above.

There is no upside here, given the Dolphins’ current stage of rebuilding. Literally, none.
