In a shocking development to the ongoing Plaxico Burress saga, the Giants announced just a few moments ago that they have released the troubled receiver, just four months after he shot himself in the thigh at a Manhattan night club.

“I am an optimist, and I believe most situations can be worked out,” said General Manager Jerry Reese. “We hung in there as long as we could in hopes that there could be a resolution to this situation other than the decision we made today to release Plaxico. It wasn’t to be, so now we have to move on. Like everybody else here, we want nothing but the best for Plaxico, and we are appreciative of the contributions he made to this franchise.”

More to come …

So burris is released by the giants so long as it ain't a typo. But what does that mean to the panthers. Really nothing. Panthers would not even touch burris right now even if they had the chance. Burris is facing charges of having a unregistered firearm. And he could face few years in jail if founf guilty. So now what?? Ya'll going to start a rumor bout how panthers need to go after burris now. LOL will not happen.

They must know that he won't be around for the 2009 season at all due to jailtime and or suspension. I would have let him sit there on the roster through the draft to make people wonder about my draft intentions more (provided he didn't have any bonus they wanted to avoid paying).

Vick, Plex, Packman. Ten years ago a NFL player could be caught in a motel room with two hookers and a pound of crack and still play the next week. Those days are over and some of these guys don't realize this. I doubt Vick, Plex or Packman ever play in the NFL. Packman I'm almost sure of...if the Cowboys cut you, you have problems.

Plax is going to be an Eagle or Dolphin.
:banghead:Right now with burris and his legal troubles no one will take a chance on him. Unless all of sudden the DA in NY city decided to drop the whole matter. But I doubt it. The only way burris is lucky to avoid jail time is a plea bargin deal and community service upon that. Adn he will be on probation. But knowing since burris is a star with money. He might buy his way out like most stars do. But vick lol:out:. But even if was to get probation. the chance rogel godell could suspend him for the season aswell. But until burris gets his legal trouble resolved. No team is going to even touch him.:banghead::rant::ack2:

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
