I'm pretty sure that Ray Lewis would whip Plaxico into shape if he caused any problems for the Ravens. I"m also pretty sure that John Harbaugh has taken full control over his team and wouldn't let someone like Burress cause any trouble. However I understand that it may be nice for Flacco to have a young wide receiver to develop with. The Ravens most dire need is at cornerback and Ozzie Newsome may want to have the first round pick to go after a defensive player. If the Ravens sign Burress, they wouldn't have to go for a wide receiver in the first round.
Either way, the Ravens are going to be taking a gamble. Either they risk using a low first round pick to go after an unproven but potentially effective WR or they go after one of the best WR's in the game with off the field issues. What would you rather the Ravens do?
i think it's a good idea. i'm just worried that the shooting incident will carry over. but hey, we need a wide receiver badly, and while i would love to get heyward-bey, burress is a great receiver. my only problem is, right now, i really don't like him. but maybe he'll grow on me
ReplyDeleteI understand your valid concern. I feel that the leadership of the players and coaches would prevent Burress from being a big off the field issue. If the Ravens don't get Burress, they will still be in decent shape for a deep playoff run.
