It seems that some of you werent paying close attention in 2003, or werent fans yet. Owens spit directly into the face of the 49ers' franchise on his way out the door. He was a total A-Hole that threw a tantrum to get traded after his agent screwed up the free agency paperwork. The Ravens offered us a better pick, but he refused to go there, and told us we had to trade him to Philly.
Bill Walsh told Owens he needed to work on dropping less passes, and Owens said Walsh doesnt know what hes talking about.
Theres a reason we gave number 81 away the very next year after the 2nd best WR in 49ers history departed.
Owens burned his bridges big time. He blatantly insulted the 49ers, and Bill Walsh.
Screw that guy. You guys with your fond memories are forgetting the whole story.
I'm with this, I hated T.O. towards the end, he was a cancer, and needed to be gone, glad he was never brought back, he isn't a HOF'er or a 49er HOF'er IMO, screw him, he threw everyone under the bus.
Bro this sounds like your going more so based on personal feelings rather than FACTS. The numbers don't lie the guy is a HOF'er. There are plenty of guys who are in the hall and soon to go into the hall that did things FAR worse than T.O. on a human level. The only thing you can accuse T.O. of is not getting along with his coaches and some players on the team. Same thing can be said about Moss and other. But that does not mean your not a HOF'er. You can't tell the story of football from the late 90's to the 2000's without talking about T.O. He belongs in the hall, and I can't wait to hear his speech.
