Sorry Mystiq, as a Niner fan I\'m going to have to disagree... Owens is a beast on the field however I think he creates a lot of problems regarding team chemistry. Remember the Young - Rice days when everyone seemed to get along? That worked.
Owens has a philosophy that you don\'t have to get along with your teammates to win, however I disagree. I think everyone has to be on the same page, and lifting each other up, and dusting one another off. To me, Owens has just isolated himself from the team, and ruins that chemistry which is necessary.
You don\'t have to date one another, but you have to have some sort of mutual appreciation for the other as both a football player and teammate.
Owens has been so awesome for the Niners I can\'t even describe it, but I\'m tired of the tantrums on the sidelines, and the outbreaks after losses. I\'m especially tired of the, "I\'m doing all that I can, but my team is losing" mentality that really puts distance between him and the rest of the Niner squad.
If there\'s any guy I\'d keep it would be Garcia. He\'s been saying the right things every time Owens whines for the ball, and I respect him for that. Garcia may be struggling at the moment, but if he\'s a good team player then I\'m going to root for him for as long as he wears red and gold.
Furthermore, I really don\'t htink the Niners will hurt without Owens. They have plenty of young guys just waiting to break through the surface. I\'m talking about Brandon Lloyd, Arnaz Battle, and Tai Streets. Those three all have potential to be huge NFL stars, and will get their shot once everyone stops primarily focusing on tending to Terrell Owens\' needs.
