Terrell Owens stunted Romo's growth

It was done in a matter of minutes but the choice Jerry Jones made could pay huge dividends for Romo's career. The loss of Owens might seem like a negative or appear to be a regression for Romo but for the first time in his career he will not have to worry about stroking another player's ego. Terrell Owens demanded the ball (I'm sure we can all agree on that) and clearly stated his opinion to the media. If we were annoyed by Owens then imagine how Romo felt. He had to deal with this guy every day and in the huddle during crucial drives, it was only a matter of time before Jones cut the leash. It could have been a matter of things but more than anything it was Owens declining production and his rising volatile attitude that allowed Jones to cut him loose. Simply put, he was not worth the risk. Jones took a gamble, as he does on many players, and in many cases its a low risk/high reward situation (see Pacman and Tank Jonhnson). But Owens was a high risk situation that had a high reward only at times. Even when the Cowboys were winning it seemed if Owens was upset with his individual performance. No team can live with this sort of player and Romo had evident trouble with this as well.Ed Werder's report towards the end of the season indicated an altercation between Witten and Owens that had Owens stating that Romo and Witten were going behind his back and designing plays for themselves. I thought to myself, why would Owens even go that far? I mean, its one thing to think it and its another to go the media and let it loose. What happened to "keeping it in the locker room". Owens should have went to Romo and Witten and cleared the air, this is a professional game
