Doesn't change the facts. Again half the seasons where 1,000 seasons. Not elite. If you want to make up more excuses that's fine but it won't change the facts.

Plaxico was considered a top 10 WR????

This. And especially for a guy like him who got by on physical talent. It's not like he has the work ethic or technique to make up for losing a step.

I thought so at the time.. You wanna name 10 WRs at that time you felt were better in 2008? After like the top 3-5 guys the rest of the top 10 were about on the same level as him.

2008? Burress barely played. So basically, all of them. .

2007 he had one of his better seasons. But nowhere near Top 10 statistically. Just to put it in perspective. In 2007, he was 29th in the league in receptions and 21st in the league in receiving yardage.

Not by any non-Giants fans.

Holy cow...this thread exploded. Plax an elite receiver? Hardly. Dude was a solid NFL receiver, nothing more, nothing less. There is a reason Pittsburgh let the guy leave. He won't even be replacement level after his time off.
