North Jersey but I miss Cali :sadcam:
I'm reading how Plax is shocked nobody had called him up. He was never the fastest WR and he about to turn 35. Unless you are a HOF legend and will sell tickets like a Jerry Rice or a freak of nature like a Randy Moss you're done. It's supply/demand.

Actually there are very few elite WR in the NFL right now, but even in his best years cheddar plax wasn't one of them.


Another thing is WR is too contingent on QB play as well. Megatron is ThE best WR in the game now, but he is useless obviously playing with a shyt QB.

It's hard to be realistic when you have been sucked off and told how great you are since you were 6. A lot of these nikkas do not exist in reality until their skills leave them and then they are like :wtf: :sadcam:.

Yeah but Fitz, proved you can put up decent numbers with a shytty QB. College football is to blame for this actually.

More teams run spread offense in college and thus the recruit more WR's. Teams don't even need to look in the first round anymore unless they are a sure fire can't miss. The churn on that position is high.

Basically. Randy Moss is the only 35 year old receiver that's going to get phone calls from teams. Once a receiver loses the ability to create separation from even average to below average corners YOU ARE DONE. His play on the Giants when he was in his prime was overrated anyway ( Eli doesn't get enough credit for making Plax), sure he won a Superbowl, probably would have won another if not for his incident since he was a big factor with that receiving core, but individually dude was nothing special. It hilarious to me that every season some player has reality come crashing down on them like this.

Burress best bet is a receiver gets injured (which is damn likely this season) or there's a rookie quarterback that needs an experienced receiver as a safety valve. But then there's the whole bad teammate label following him so teams might be turned off by that especially if he doesn't get the playing time he feels he needs.

Burress needs to look around at all the other out of work receivers that actually still have some talent and check his ego

Yup. Even Calvin had a great sophomore year with 5 different QBs in 2008. Stafford came in 2009.

Good wideouts can make bum QBs and Vice Versa.

But When you got a good QB and good WR though....:ahh:

U must not have been alive during the Hill/Stanton/Culpepper/Orvlovsky/Kitna era....

But having a good WR is a necessity these days, as a Rams fan I know first hand how important they are.
