Title: Do we want Plaxico in aqua and orange?
Post by: StL FinFan on February 21, 2011, 04:30:41 pm
Rumor has it he wants to be a Dolphin.  I say no thanks.  He'll be 34 if/when the season starts and I don't see him as a team leader.

Nope! We need a speed WR. We have enough big physical WR's with average speed (ie Marshall, Moore, Wallace)

Doesn't fit the Fins need at WR. We need some blazing speed!

I thought he lived in Miami.  Is that bad intel?

Because the Dolphins are in the NFL right now, and Plaxico isn't?

^^ so are 31 other teams, about 20 of whom are closer to the Lombardi trophy than the Dolphins.

I'd take him if the price was right.  He's experienced and has played in some big games.  Still has a few years left in him.

I'm sorry...I thought we were talking about Plaxico here. Dude wants a paycheck right now...regardless of "SB potential."

He'd be happy with most of the other 31 teams as well, I'd imagine.

^^ that's my point.  The OP said "he wants to come to Miami. 

Why Miami, as opposed to cleveland, arizona, pittsburgh, washington, seattle, or new england?

I'm surprised at your reaction Brian. You've been a Dolphins fan long enough to have heard many other ridiculous claims of players wanting to be in Miami.

What is "The OP?" I did a search for "Plaxico Burress The OP" and got nada...

An 8th grader could type something and put it up on the BLEACHER REPORT. Hardly real journalism

If this is true, and he WANTS to play for Miami, I'd love to give him try-out.  I'm not all for seeking out these old guys, but if they see something in our team or environment and they want to be a part of it, I'm inclined to give them a shot.  It makes me think that you'll lose some of the diva attitude, since you weren't courted.

Miami has a need for a WR.  A few of the ones listed doesn't.

Also, no way in hell will Pittsburgh sign.  Too many character issues, likewise for NE.  Miami might take the chance.

If you read the first post, the first word there is "rumor".

It wasn't a question of "who would want to sign Plaxico" but more of "where would Plaxico like to play?"

Those are not completely unrelated.  Agents drop hints that a player would like to play for teams that they have a chance of getting signed by, not teams where there is zero chance.

Goodell has determined that he can play the second he's sprung.
