There's probably no way this will happen.

I'd rather have Moss over Owens for a few reasons.

Moss and Green can work together.

Owens thinks Owens is God.....yeah Moss almost thinks that but Green can bring him to reality...not sure if he can do that with TO.

IF we get Moss then either we draft a QB or it doesn't matter who's the QB....Moss could catch my throws....I think.

Hey Buckeye, to tell you the truth I would love to have either. Most of these hotshot receivers have big egos anyway. To me its the rare top wideout that doesn't have a big ego. They all want the ball and are going to cry if they don't get it. If they can score then give it to them.

Or...... you can have one of the following WR's on your team that don't act like 2 yrd olds:

Harrison
Jimmy Smith
Boldin
Peerless Price
Holt
Bruce
Toomer
Chambers
McCardell
Moulds
Coles
Rod Smith
Hines Ward

Of course there are more and some others who are borderline babies.

The TO's and Meshawns of the NFL should be ignored by the Cards.

A lot of this ego stuff being bad for the team is a little overrated in my opinion. As long as they play with heart and help the team win, I could care less. The people that should be avoided are the Keyshawn Johnsons. He decided he wanted out of Tampa before the season was over. Think about that stuff after the season... he basically quit early because he wasn't happy. That's not a team player.

A lot of receivers want the ball all the time to help their team win. Harrison supposedly cried about not getting the ball enough when Reggie Wayne was doing great at the start of the season. So he's a baby too? The thing is, a lot of them complain privately which is what Harrison did. What's not okay is if a player quits on a play. Examples: Moss not blocking a CB, Holt just sliding to the turf because he doesn't want to get hit, etc. It still doesn't change the fact that they're helping their teams. It's a tradeoff... Owens can do it all if he wants to. He's a great blocker, he can catch, he can get yards after the catch. He brings a lot of negative media attention though. The coaching staff decides whether the tradeoff is worth it or not and if they can motivate Owens or any other player with "problems".

Finally, somebody shares my opinion on Owens. He cries and whines, but the difference between Owens and Moss etc. is that Owens plays 100% on every play. As long as you bring it on the field, I don't care what you do off the field IMO.
