**General NFL Discussion Thread**

Could you imagine how ridiculous their DL would have been at that point???

Peter King of Sports Illustrated was inside the Rams' draft room, and he reported (as pointed out by ESPN.com) that when the Rams moved down from the 22nd pick to the 30th pick in the first round, Warford was one of the three players they were hoping would still be on the board at No. 30.

When the Rams decided to trade down, they were hoping to draft either Warford, UCLA defensive lineman Datone Jones (who went 26th to the Packers) or Georgia linebacker Alec Ogletree. As it turned out, both Ogletree and Warford were still available at No. 30, and the Rams decided to go with Ogletree.

NFC West aint no joke. Well the Cards are but yeah.

It's just hard for me to understand how anyone "loved T.O. when he was with the Niners." Because, to me, he was a big complaining, whining a-hole. Can you imagine feeling slighted because Jerry Rice is getting all the press. Just shut the hell up and be happy you're on the same team as Jerry Rice. And can you imagine publicly embarrassing your own quarterback? Dude was horrible. Great athlete. Good (not great) receiver. Horrible person. Pathetic person.

And, now on top of all that, he's turned himself into a reality TV joke. I feel uncomfortable just watching or listening to him.

He broke her collarbone, if you believe the baby momma.

Too Bad T.O. could not really be mentored by Jerry.

We drafted Stokes in '95
TO in '96

Jerry tore his ACL (courtesy of that cheap shot by loud mouth Sapp) in '97

The Catch II was in '98

Jerry was hearing footsteps and never really taught TO how to be a NINER. To act with class. Walsh was out of the Org at that time.

This was Policy and Clark.

By the time of Jerry's last game, where TO caught 20 passes, he was considered washed up -- not.

T.O.'s ego was allowed to grow (IMHO) because of Mooch.

Harbs would have never let TO do what he did. Randy Moss toed the line. Jacobs didn't, see ya.

Walsh, and even Seifert, would have never let TO do the antics he did.

There was a vacuum during those years.

There is no more.

In '99 I went to the 49ers Luncheon at the Nikko Hotel.

I rode the escalator with TO (after the luncheon).

I was talking up how great he was (like most star struck fans would be lol).

The "yes maam", "no sir" from his rookie year were gone. He was very aloof even then. With people that paid a lot of money per plate to be there.

Jerry always worked as hard as he did when his father was throwing bricks to him. He ran the hill, because he was insecure about not being great.

Roger taught him that. TO was a phenomenal physical specimen, but I don't think he put the kind of time in that, say, VD has.

VD had stone hands but has hit the juggs machine with a vengeance over the years. He is more like Jerry than TO ever was. He cares about his craft
and busts his arse on his weaknesses.

VD is a great niner. TO could have been.

Awww......he misses Marc Trestman.

I think the 49ers should bring him back...as the team MASCOT!

Reminds me of Jerry rice.... We picked a good one......#stopthehate

Let him rot.

The overall hate and ill-wishes for Terrell Owens as a person spewing out of you people on this board is disgusting. That type of attitude probably isn't exclusive to TO, so I take solice in knowing your negative energy will come back on you ten-fold.

For Christ Sake, Terrell Owens dominated for us. He probably has a serious personality disorder and is trying to overcome it in a positive way and move forward with his life. He's never been out in clubs carrying guns are getting arrested for some domestic violence like so many players we forgive and praise today.

TO had always been a workout warrior with a competitive spirit on the same level of Jim Harbaugh. Yes, he admittedly let his immaturity get the better of him, but he doesn't deserve to be treated like an animal by you computer gangsters. Check yourselves.

Your disgusted by the ill-wishes for TO, so it comforts you as a person wishing even worse to the people on this board? Sorry, that is actually disgusting. So please, check yourself.

First of all it's "You're" as in "You are".

Yes, people that send vicious attacks to these players for their personal decisions that are actually positive life decisions deserve a rude awakening. I'm glad you apologized because you should be sorry that you defend these ruthless attacks on TO, the person.

And I do appreciate that you asked nicely, but I've already been checked plenty as a young immature kid. One day you'll understand.

Life is bigger than this game that we all love. We sometimes lose sight of that and treat these athletes as if their only value to the world is their ability to catch the ball and run it in, etc. The fact of the matter is that TO has probably donated more to charities and done more good for the community that this entire message board combined. Gain a little perspective.
