fringe Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 Yes, we have moved on.......to 8-8 and no playoff appearance. even so, and as much as i think a tall receiver is the answer, i think he should not be an option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sephiroth Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 Yes, we have moved on.......to 8-8 and no playoff appearance. Agreed.... but I hardly think it's because we were missing Plax. Our offense would put up 40 points a game last year only to see the defense give up 45. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iceman_NYG Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 Id have him back in a heartbeat. There are players who have committed worse crimes and have gotten off for much less. This dude was just stupid and has done his time. He will still be our best home run hitter. Infact, I really want the Giants to push hard to get him back.

Lubeck Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 Once Burress is released, he immediately will be eligible to sign with any team. The NFL confirmed he will not face any further suspension by Commissioner Roger Goodell.

CrazedDogs Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 Wow, long thread to be based off a bullshit press report. Giants are done with this guy, the front office has said so repeatedly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGBLUE01 Posted August 5, 2010 Author Share Posted August 5, 2010 Wow, long thread to be based off a bullshit press report. Giants are done with this guy, the front office has said so repeatedly.

Magna Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 Bring him back if he passes the physicals and can contribute. He paid his dues. Sign him low scale with performance bonuses as well as behavior clauses for one year to see if he can produce like he did before the shooting. If he succeeds then reward him with a longer contract next year. Win win for everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boohyah Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 The sticking point here is that his agent wants him to be paid in accordance with the top 5 felons in the league, and Reese has his limits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This dude was just stupid and has done his time. He will still be our best home run hitter. Infact, I really want the Giants to push hard to get him back. The problem to me is not so much the crime he committed - stupid as it was - but his constant defiance of team rules. The guy was habitually late to meetings and acted like rules were not meant for him. That's a cancer we don't need to revisit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fully agreed. additionally...he was a warrior in 2007, but none the less he was walking wounded his last couple years. Now its two years later, he's 33 years old, and with all the same baggage...what reason is there to sign this guy other than blind nostalgia?

BronxRik Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 even so, and as much as i think a tall receiver is the answer, i think he should not be an option. The other option now resides in Miami. And on a side note (not directed at you, Blu), wasn't Plax jailed for possession of an unregistered gun, not shooting himself? Shooting himself, while stupid, not only isn't the crime, but he only hit tissue. He's not permanently injured from the wound. Why is everyone under the impression he went to jail for shooting himself? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fringe Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 The other option now resides in Miami. don't you remember? the pharoh Ramses of Obispo will part the red zone and deliver us to the promised land between the uprights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iceman_NYG Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 don't you remember? the pharoh Ramses of Obispo will part the red zone and deliver us to the promised land between the uprights. Im guessing Prison would have changed Plax and he wont be walking around like rules dont matter to him. If given a chance, he will not be the diva. And plus, he is still our best redzone threat. With that bitch Gilbride gone, we will need him to drastically improve our RZ chances. Regaring Barden, he is the tallest guy we have around. But any other news coming about him from camp? Is he ready to step in and be a threat? How fast is the schmuck? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrazedDogs Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 I already answered that question. We have no red zone threat. Boss? Nicks? (Maybe) Barden? And you're assuming Plaxico can still play. He's 33 and has never been known for his work ethic. No work ethic = no longevity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazedDogs Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 Hixon went down.. and I'd take Plax with one leg over Moss any day. But Moss is a training camp All Pro!!!...lol... I feel you on Moss...I don't know why he's still on the team. I think 2010 has to be his last chance, but I said that last year too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's played spectacularly at times, but tends (like Plax, by the way, since so many seem to forget that he was not just an off-field problem, but a flawed player on the field too) to make easy catches look difficult - artificial highlight reel stuff. Barden needs to learn to get to the right place on the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
