illone Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 I'd rather have Anquan Boldin, but Burress would cost less because he is a free agent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zCommander Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 Sure. As long as you have a QB who can accurately throw to him. Oh yeah that would be after he gets out of jail if he goes to one that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PassAttack Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 I agree, we should pick him up, hes new and hes shiney just the way Snyders likes it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modazfuk Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 If Plax gets a pass on jail time, hell yeah the Skins should try to get him! This dude would be a major security blanket upgrade for Campbell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinsfan3880 Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 Whats with the holier than thou attiude expressed by a lot of people on here i agree with a previous post comparing him more to a dumb kid who treid to act tough. Whats life without a litte risk its not like hes vick and how many athletes do you think carry a gun for protection eh???. sorry to seem a little agitated but if the redskins didnt pick up people on charecter issues then riggins wouldntve worn the Colors neither would portis because hes not be most paticiapatory person in practice. i mean come on save the bibles for church this is football. Im for him being a skin people have problems off the field court ice etc. if he goes to jail he goes to jail theres nothing that can be done about that im not saying what he did was neccesarily the smartest thing on earth to do but come on give the moral fortitude thing a rest for about 5 seconds please.

If we can get him here, it would greatly improve our offense and I think we would instantly improve at least 2 or 3 wins. just his presence on the field with the guys we have now. perfect west coast. man. i'm salivating. also.. Can somebody BAN the person who started this thread. Its childish, stupid, and smacks of "look at me" "look at me". Who in the hell with a brain in their head would seriously even type a thread like this in earnest?This is a big freakin waste of time. seriously? why did you even post that? this is a discussion board. discussing ways to make the team better with star players is childish and screams "look at me"? since when?

Who in the hell with a brain in their head would seriously even type a thread like this in earnest?This is a big freakin waste of time. If your not interested in the thread, then look elsewhere. There are plenty of other topics to discuss. Burress, with all his side baggage, is a proven wideout that can help this team further its process into becoming a Super Bowl contender. His height,speed, awareness and SB experience is unquestionably better than anything we have. Im no expert but I feel his jail time will be minimal to none. Next time you decide to call someone out, think twice before you post, because right now your playing the childish card . Now please put some input into the thread instead of plain stupidity.

#BgMase76# Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 How would you know? When do we go down field? Our offense is as predictable as a tv guide listing. Didn't we just draft two young big WR. How about giving them a chance to develop. But then again you're probably one of those guys chomping at the bit for Cutler. Great move, if we're airing it out all day like Denver then there goes CP and the running game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbws Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 You must out of your mind. These guys hardly ever go to jail. I mean Vick did something MUCH worse than this and he's already out! Probation and hefty fine. No more. Yeah, you're probably right.... IN TEXAS!!!! Not in New York. If he is convicted of the charge as it stands, he will go away. It is a mandatory minimum of 3.5 years. Even If get gets the charge reduced from reckless endangerment to something like excessive stupidity, the possession of a firearm charge is what carries the majority of the penalty.

Wyndorf25 Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 I would rather the Skins sign Toomer if they feel they need a larger veteran WR. Unlike Burress, Toomer isn't a cancer...wait, what? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbooma Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 with Burress and Moss we would have the best tandem in the division. We could get him cheap and he would be motivated to prove the Giants wrong. Heck I like this better then TO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greenmile Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 43% say yes? WTF is going on here. I opened this up thinking maybe 5-10% would jokingly say "yes". What the hell is wrong with you people? Redskins fans are sick in the head and apparently Danny's mentatily has rubbed off in the last 10 years. EDIT: OK, nevermind. I just read some posts and realize it is a joke.

Phew, I thought people had gone mad. I'm not joking. And I haven't gone mad. Burress is a playmaker, will come cheap- atypical from Snyder's preference. He's been in trouble, sure, but everyone makes mistakes. He'll be look for a fresh start and have something to play for. Now, he may get jail time and if that happens, obviously no one will sign him. But if it doesn't end up that way, I think just adding him could give our offense way more power. A sure receiver who can catch the ball regardelss of where it's thrown. He knows routes. And I don't feel like he'd be a cancer. With all the attitudes in our locker room, if it was going to be divided it would've already. I feel like our group is a pretty accepting one (see D. Hall). He may have problems with practice, but who doesn't? ha. Put a clause in his contract- there are ways to get around his issues. His on field addition is well worth any off field issues. You guys can hate all you want, but this league is about winning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
