Why Plaxico and not Hines

Just wondering why they went after Plaxico and Hines? I wonder if they asked him and he said no he was done for good.

 

Apples to Oranges

 

I was just thinking the team would be better with the guy who was there only a year ago.

 

red zone threat , phisical condition , speed , i suppose

 

Hines was benched last year because he was just about done. why would they bring him back a year slower, a year older and out of football shape?


Burress was in great shape from everything i have heard and he had a pretty good year with the Jets last season. 8 catches for 8 td's. not a bad ratio.

plus they already have 3 other wr's like Hines. meaning small. unless Hines grew 6" its obvious why they would choose Burress over him.

 

Do you guys even watch the games Hines can't get any separation from the defense that's why he got benched.

 

Plus he is officially retired and has a contract with NBC.

 

With a new offense, there is little benefit to bringing in a guy just because he was there last season.

 

Burress actually had something like 45 catches for the Jets last year.

 

i was looking under scoring only. my bad. your right he had 45 catches for 600 plus yards and 8 td's. still not bad.

 

Exhibit A, Hines Ward:



Exhibit B, Plaxico Burress:



Any questions?

 

I have a question. Where is the barb wire on that fence? J/K

 

Yeah that's exactly what my answer would have been

 

What is Hines doing with the Walking dead?

 

if they asked hines to come back he woud be suited up in 86 seconds and play for free..they didnt ask
HINES

 

I heard he was a runner but he wasn't fast enough to tell a noticeable difference.

 

my only downer about plax is the way he gives up on plays. i've seen him do it here and i've seen him do it everywhere else he's played too. if the other team picks off a pass he just quits, throws a little tantrum and pays no attention to the guy running the pick back. one more thing, is he going to play ST's?

 

Sounds like wallace lol



Maybe Plax can teach Wallace on how to become more aggressive for the jump balls?

 

I hope thats all and not tell him that he could get more money and to leave like he did,

 

Hines is a so much better overall rec than Plax!! Case closed!!

 

and Jerry Rice is so much better than Hines!! whats your point?

i believe the point of this thread was basically implying why not bring in Hines instead of Plax.

Plax is in shape and is tall. Hines is not in football shape and last time i checked he wasnt tall.
