I see him as a lesser Terrell Owens. Too many problems to take. The Skins have enough to deal with without getting a guy that HATES to practice and "somehow" manages to shoot himself in the leg!

I am curious, is he ACTUALLY going to jail for sure? If so, how long?

I doubt Dallas will try to get him, they already have a pretty good WR corp. On the other hand we need him because we've failed to address the hole at num. 1 WR spot. We blew the chance to land T.O. and VJ. Tana needs to be where he belongs, at the num. 2 spot.

He could be our Vick. Plus I wouldn't mind any excuse that allows us to draft players in the trenches rather then using it on band aid skill players. Then again if VJax is a free agent the Skins will probably get him.

So your planning two years out. Remember it took MV one full year to get back up to speed. Last year Vick looked done.

I thought that too, but i remembered how much better and better Vick looked each week as Reid used him more and more...

Still Scary though how good he is this year..

I think this would be a better alternative.

Sure a better option, but Fitz would cost a whole lot more.

GridIron26 · 11-29-2010, 12:49 PM

I would absolutely love to get Fitzgerald if it is possible.. The offense would immediately be much improved if we get Fitzgerald or someone like him.. Sure he will cost lot of money but he is worth the money.. Everyone know how hard Fitzgerald works and all.. Unlike our infamous Haynesworth..

Interesting..........27 years old? No major injuries? Attitude problems? 6'3" 218??
VERY interesting........
He's no Joey Galloway..........but, maybe........

SBXVII · 11-29-2010, 01:58 PM

Vince Jackson.

Maybe T.J. Houshmandzadeh. He signed a one year deal right?

Giantone · 11-29-2010, 04:59 PM

Giants have not reissued Burrass's #.....just saying.

If I was the Cardinals no way would I let him walk away clean and take his talents to South Beach or somewhere else. I would at least franchise him, which will probably still be around after the next CBA.

I thought he signed contract extension a while ago? I think the only way for Fitzgerald to change teams is to convince Cardinals to trade him.. I'm pretty sure Cardinals will not trade him unless they get best offer that they could not turn down.

If you could kidnap the younger more football minded Bidwell for a few hours and offer the senior Bidwell a couple of thousand bucks you get Fitzgerald for pennies on the dollar.

It isn't our money. This is about the biggest no brainer out there. He is a can't miss worth every penny acquisition. No off-field issues either.

If they think he has any ball left in him, Plax could get an incentive laden offer but there is no reason to expect him to mirror Vick's success.
