Originally posted by Big Daddy Don: 2. And more importantly I don't see where this could help Turi. He loses a stud QB and gets a nice receiver but he already has the other WR on the team (Burriss) and Pittsburg is not a passing team so to have 2 starting WRs on that team is not going to help his team. And to give up a stud QB, I don't see where that is a good trade. My 2 cents
There's a reason for my madness. I love Burress and this is really his audition year for another team next season. He's got fantastic ability and one day should be the number one target for QB's. But he isn't at the moment and drops far too many balls so he's benched for the moment. I've lost an amazing QB but I think it's a fair trade. I now get probably the third best reciever in the league, a reliable QB who is backing up my risk but potentially awesome QB in Cincinnati.
Traditionally we're not a passing team and this year we'll be emphasising the rush again. But we were ranked 31st in rushing last year compared to 14th in passing.
