Or Packer fans who put up with annoying little purple people, because we feel we can convert their football ignorance to our righteous ways.

I'd rather have an old guy who is a leader (Driver) than an old guy who is an asshole (Plax). Guy had the talent necessary to dominate the NFL, but bad things happen to people who are dumb.

I'll never forget how he destroyed Al Harris a couple years ago in that NFC Championship game. Such a shame that he will be remembered more for shooting himself in the leg (and then going to jail because of it) than the way he dominated during their Super Bowl run.

The guy is done though. If teams don't want Randy Moss or TO they aren't going to want Plaxico. I doubt he's in game shape anyways.

Burriss is a stop gap player for some team that needs a WR badly and might take a chance to see if he can still play. The Pack needs to groom a player that can take over for Driver and that is not Burriss.

I think we will see a WR selected in the 2nd or 3rd round and it won't be a coincidence that they will have the body type that will let them run the routes they ask of Driver.

He'd be an "emergency" guy for me. Kind of like Andre Rison was for the 96 Packers. A guy that MIGHT be able to be a "decent" person for a few months, but you KNOW long term he will self destruct.

No worries bud. Slamming things I say seems to be the off season hoorah 'round here. I can dig it.

I'd still like to try him out if, probably only if we lose James Jones and fail to pick up a suitable replacement in the draft.

Right now as the Packers roster stands, I don't think there's a place for him. Sure, he's better than Brett Swain @ WR, but what bout Special Teams? I think not.

That being said, would you rather have Jones or Burress on the roster? I'd hope that this is an easy one to answer...... 🙂

I'd take James Jones over Plaxico Burress, even if Plaxico was 3 years younger and no jail time.

I've been pretty hard on James Jones, but I really honestly feel he has the best hands on the team (aside from Finley) and is just lacking focus an concentration. I think with the right coaching he might be a similar WR as Sterling Sharpe was.
