Damn it, T.O.'s Back

Just when you thought it was safe for QB's to go outside.

Terrell Owens has been an outsider looking in for about a year now as TO couldn't get a gig as a WR anywhere last season due to the fact that he had a leg injury that kept teams away. After the season ended, everyone wrote him as done, including his agent, and thought that his career was over. TO didn't accept it. He went to play a bit in the IFL to prove the doubters wrong until his team released him.

He then got a chance for the NFL again. TO went to Seattle to tryout for the Seahawks. Now they would want some WR help but TO would not be the #1 guy. TO seemed to impress the Seahawks as they signed him a one year $1 million contract. TO tweeted about this writing "God is good. Thankful. Grateful. To ALL my new teammates & the "12th Man"... Let's Do This!! "

Why can't he just go away into that good night? I admire TO's desire to play and that is obviously driving him to go to Seattle and I applaud him for that but why did Seattle do this? It's always a bit of a risk getting TO because of the divide that he can create in a locker room and his relationships to past QBs. They just got Matt Flynn who they are hoping will turn out well and they get a diva to play with him? Bad move for them.

Now maybe TO will learn his place and realize that he is not the top guy anymore and be quiet. I hope, as a 49ers fan, that he doesn't.
