Terrell Owens was very critical of Donovan McNabb when he was his teammate. Now that he's playing with Tony Romo in Dallas, Owens says he would rather have Peyton Manning and McNabb over Romo.
Some folks in the media here in Philly, still question Donovan McNabb's leadership qualities based on his problems with Terrell Owens. How could any one manage with this nut on the team? If Owens had made those statements in Philly, it would be the only thing anybody would be talking about. Checkout the article about Owens in Time Magazine.
Here are some of his comments in a piece called 10 Questions For Terrell Owens:
"Do you regret how your relationship with quarterback Donovan McNabb turned sour in Philadelphia? David Sansone, PHILADELPHIA
You know what? I do regret some of the things that happened. Donovan is a great guy. Honestly, I do miss being around him. I learned some things from Donovan. It was a bad situation, and if there were a way I could go back and handle some things differently, I definitely would.
If you could choose any quarterback in the NFL to be the No. 1 in Dallas, who would it be and why? Patrick McLeod, PANAMA CITY
Man, that's a tricky question. I don't want to cause trouble … O.K., I would say Peyton Manning, then Donovan McNabb. Peyton has history on his side, with his dad being a quarterback, and you can't say enough about how studious he is in the film room."
Terrell Owens needs therapy because he always attacks the quarterback he's playing with. He went after Jeff Garcia, then he went after Donovan, now he's attacking Tony Romo. The dude is a great player and headed to the Hall Of Fame when he's done but he's also a certifiable nut.
In what was one of the most unjust accusations I"ve seen in sports, McNabb was talked about endlessly because he couldn't control a grown man like Owens. You won't hear the same criticism of Tony Romo and you didn't hear the same criticism of Jeff Garcia but for some reason, McNabb was supposed to control T.O. Again, there's no denying Owens greatness but he's crazy. I repeat the dude is CRAZY.
