Plax to Jail

Seriously. If a plea deal gets him two years, you have to wonder what he was facing without it.

Prior articles made it sound like Burress was desperately afraid to serve any jail time at all.

As an aside, in past times when he was available (and evn this offseason) people had been wanting us to pursue Plaxico. Stuff like this is why you don't pin your hopes on guys with character issues.

I read if he had been convicted on all charges he faced 3 1/2 to 15 years.

for sure. but shooting your leg should not carry the same penalty as killing someone while drunk driving

There's other factors. Stallworth cooperated fully with authorities from the beginning. Burress? Not so much.

Also, the family of the victim in Stallworth's case reportedly was satisfied that Stallworth was contrite. Whether that feeling was sincere or financial no one can say, but that's how it came down.

I guess Burress could forgive himself - and probably has - but that doesn't take the weapons charges away :sosp:

Plus there was mitigating circumstances in Stallworth's case... and he paid the family of the guy he killed too.

I personally think that 2 years is very stiff for what Plax did, but the law's the law and he shoulda took that plea deal way back... idiot.

On a side note...

One of my buds at lunch said he hopes Farve's not watching ESPN today... he might retire again... :lol:

    • Final Drive: First play Bryce misses an open Jimmy Horn in the middle of the field. It would have easily moved the sticks and taken very little time off the clock. He was probably the only WR open on that play, but it's right in front of you. Gotta see that one. And Jimmy has the fresh legs on that drive.  Second play there was potential but the protection broke down before guys even got to the top of their routes. WRs really gave up on the play in the scramble drill though. I think Coker and TMac were exhausted.  On the 3rd play that was a perfectly thrown ball to Jimmy Horn. The defender has an obvious pass interference at the top of the route to knock him off path. If that contact doesn't happen, that would have been a big play. It drops perfectly in his hands similar to the TD pass to Coker. And they were in man, so he would have had room to run. Refs missed that one. You could even see the defender kind of waiting for the flag that never came. He knew it too.  The last play was 100% on Jimmy. You see him actually set up to catch the ball out in front with his hands. Little shuffle in there to time it just like he wanted it. Could have just come back to the ball, as there was very little zip on that pass. I think Bryce kind of aimed it instead of just letting it rip and it died on him downfield. Or as others suggested just slide and body catch it to make sure you don't miss it. He's young and hadn't caught a pass all game. Probably would have been better if Coker was in that spot.  This is just a young team. I really think they'll be fine next season. Jimmy can be that guy. He gets separation on crossing routes every time. Guys just can't keep up with him. Gain a little trust and chemistry with Young and he can get in the offense. Not real hopeful for XL. Come on dude. We're counting on you. 
    • Not even sure what qbr is. Goeff has the 3rd highest QB rating at around 115 but has the 18th worse qbr rating at 57. Sam Darnold is even worse at 56. Hell, it qbr ranks Spencer Rattler as a better QB than Shough (24th and 25th respectively). Something seriously does not add up. For what it is worth, 4 of the first six teams the Panthers played had defenses ranked 26th through 32nd while 4 of the last 6 teams they played were ranked in the top 10 in defense. So they played tougher defenses and had higher completion percentages, higher yrds/rec, higher TD % and lower int %. Not sure how you can improve in all those areas against better teams and have the same qbr. Odd. https://sumersports.com/teams/defensive/
