Dallas Cowboys: DO NOT CUT TERRELL OWENS

Right now everyone's playing the blame game in Dallas, and heck maybe it's even somewhat warranted. However one guy who seems to always get blamed is undeserving of it this time.

Terrell Owens had 69 catches, 1,052 yards, and 10 TD's. Now on most scales that's a great season for a wide receiver, for Terrell Owens that's an off season. So that alone should say something about his capabilities.

In a season when Dallas was supposed to waltz into the Superbowl, and as some went as far to saying as being as good as the 2007 Patriots offense.

That didn't happen. Why? Not because of Terrell Owens that's for sure. Tony Romo missed three games, Jason Garrett ran a completely unimaginative offense, Marion Barber was injured, Felix Jones was injured, Roy Williams was brought in after 6 games, Kyle Koiser got injured. The list goes on and on.

Yet still Owens was able to produce another 1,000 yard season. Despite all of the injuries and hoopla he still had his 2nd or 3rd (depending on your opinion) most productive game of his career against San Fransisco. Racking up 7 catches for 213 yards and a touchdown.

Why am I rambling on and on about this? I'll tell you why, The Dallas Cowboys will be a TERRIBLE team without Terrell Owens and there's no denying it. Roy Williams had 19 catches for 198 yards in 10 games. He has proved absolutely nothing that he should be deserving of being the number one wide receiver.

If the Cowboys thought the offense struggled last year imagine if those double coverages on Terrell Owens didn't open up anything for Jason Witten and other players. Now I'm not completely ignorant. He had some controversy's last season and certainly can run his mouth off.

However everything Terrell Owens said was what the fans of the Cowboys were saying. It doesn't mean Owens wasn't right and adding onto that fact no one would care ONE bit but his name is Terrell Owens so it matters.

It's not like the Cowboys weren't the only team that has had controversy and still won the Superbowl. Heck the Cowboys themselves did it in the 90's. The fact is this team just didn't have enough talent to win. The unimaginative offense run by Garrett and injuries cost the Cowboys this season, not the Cowboys.

Also it financially isn't a smart decision. Granted Owens is due a 3.1 million dollar signing bonus, but was just resigned at the end of last season. Dallas would take a large cap penalty for cutting Owens.

In three seasons with the Cowboys, Owens has produced 235 receptions, 3,587 yards, and 38 touchdowns.

Every season is different and the Cowboys didn't have enough talent last year to win it all. It was quite obvious and this is coming from a Cowboys fan. So why would you cut quite possibly the most talented receiver in the NFL? Makes no sense to me.

Now it's obvious this team needs to add some character but again I'll beat the dead horse. That doesn't come from Terrell Owens that comes from the coaching. Everytime Terrell Owens tried to step up and speak out for the team it became a story that he was slamming the team or is a Cancer.

Owens can't win that battle so he's better off not talking at all.

So in a season when the offensive coordinator ran a terrible offense, the star QB was injured, and just about everything that could go wrong did go wrong Owens still had a good not great season. But under the circumstances it was a great season and there shouldn't be any doubt that Owens still has the athleticism to play highly productive football.

For whatever reason the media is in love with T.O and has to talk about him every second they can, why? Because he's that damn good.
