[The Finist]

80 rec, 1240 yards, and 14 TDs

 

[Crazy8s]

82 rec, 1200 yds, 10Tds (full season)

60 rec, 850 yds, 6Tds (Behavior/Injury season)

My projection will assume a full year played (Which I predict anyway. He'll be a "good boy" this year)

Don't get me wrong TO will get his balls and do well. However, I believe that TO takes so much heat of Glenn that Glenn is VALUE pick with the Dallas passing game stepping up this year.

TO is learning a brand new offense, he has played all 10 years in the WCO. Bill will continue to utilize TO strengths (Catching short balls and going the distance).

I am also predicting TO doesn't score many TD's in the redzone, he will be moved around to create mis-matches for others (Witten/Fasano). This ultimately hurts TO's TD production and tests his "Me vs. team success". Since he is no longer playing for a new contract, TO shocks the world and keeps his mouth shut.

85 Catches

1350 Yards

9-10 TD's

Assuming a full season...

I conservatively have him at WR2 with 90 catches, 1300 yards and 13 TDs.

I thin he means the 2nd best Wr in the league....not WR2 material.

Parcells will realize that TO is his best player and get him the ball. As others have pointed out the addition of TO will create mismatches for guys like Witten, but the mistake is to think that TO's production will drop as a result. Think about the career year Westbrook had while TO went on to pull down 14 TD's in 14.5 games.

TO will get his, don't worry. In addition, he has a far more accurate arm throwing to him provided the protection is there, which is really the determinative factor in the analysis.

86-1345-14 (assuming full health, which has not been shown in the last several years)

You are entitled to your opinion. i will be curious to see your TO/Witten/Glenn/Bledsoe numbers rolled up. I just don't see him catching 14 TD's this year.

If I had to set a line, I would set it at 12. I would take the over if required to bet.

Am I high on TO because I own in virtually every league that I am in this year? Maybe I am or maybe I am. Here are reasons to why he'll do just as good as in 2004.

1- No injury issues from last year :check:

2- Plays Phi twice :check:

3 - Loves being in the spotlight :check:

and finally

4- He got a QB that can throw the deep route as good as anybody in the league :check:

I see 1,200 yds and 14 TD's in the crystalball.

 

[Texasmouth]

I like the Owens signing a lot, I think he will have a lot of catches, not as many yards as everyone is predicting, but probably double digit TD. The new two WR, Two TE offense they are running might limit as many big plays but he will catch a lot of balls. I say

88/1150/15

Wouldn't surpise me to see that. I wouldn't even be disappointed.

 

[Banger]

1300 and 13 sounds about right.

 

[Keys Myaths]

I just don't see this huge difference in Dallas that people are talking about. Why would they sign him, then force him to do something completely different (when they KNOW they have to keep him happy)?

I think a little less than 2004, his first year in Philidelphia, would be the norm here.

78 receptions 1180 yards, 13 TD.
