My thoughts on preseason wk 2

We still have at least a couple of posters here who think the only thing keeping him from leading the Steelers to a championship is the team refusing to give him a three-year window as the starter.

 

Burress set his career highs in receptions and receiving yards as a Steeler in 2002.

 

I stand corrected. He still had 3 very good seasons with the Giants, two of those he had 1000+ yards receiving, and one just shy of 1000.

 

With Tommy Maddox, not Ben Roethlisberger or Eli Manning.

But... had Burress stayed with Steelers, he likely would have had some awesome years on a 2nd contract. Steelers brass had no interest in signing him, IIRC.
