Real football, I'll take Plaxico if I take anyone. Besides the one incident that put him jail, he hasn't allowed whatever his off the field lifestyle is affect his play on the field. In another sport I might take the talent of Moss or production of TO, but in football the ability to work in the context of the team is just too important. Plaxico has shown in the past that he can do this. If he can show me that he has the desire and passion to get his career back on track, I'm listening. Desperation can be a heck of a motivator. (FWIW, I'm ignoring the fact that my team doesn't really need a WR in this)
Fantasy, I'm always going to be interested in TO. He is a physical freak and if anyone can recover quickly it is him. Outside of the injury, people have written him off 2 years in a row and the guy is still producing numbers. If he looks like he'll be playing this year, I'll take him at his low ADP again.

Pre acl injury I would take TO, post injury I will go with Moss real life, Plax fantasy. Obviously, landing spot makes a difference in.fantasy, but if moss ends up somewhere he doesnt want to.be, he will be horrible. I take Moss real life as a bears fan because maybe he will be motivated by being.on a pretty good team that needs a.couple pieces to tread water and continue being a contender. I actually dont like any of the three for the bears that much. I would rather see sidney rice, ochocinco, or even try to get vjax from san diego, though it looks like he will be there for another year

Voted TO b/c he's such a highly motivated, hard-working player. Moss was all gator arms, quit-routes and pouty prior to being traded by NE and only got worse from there. Plax . . . gotta show me something before I'd pick him over TO, unless TO's knee ends his career.
My first though based on the thread title was Ward/Driver. Love those guys as solid ADP

I see most have voted for Moss, he was on three teams last year, I'm not so sure having him is a good idea any more, just off the eye test itself. I know he was a great WR for many years, but his attitude stops that from happening anymore. But if you want him on your team, thats your choice.

Well TO has a blown out knee so he's about useless (despite the BS his agent spews).Burress just spent 2 years in the pokey so who knows what he will actually bring to the field and if he can even remotely help.You want to bank on a guy with one leg or another who is 34 and may take the next year getting in shape, go for it. I'll take my chances that Moss wants to light the flame one more time.

I see your point.I voted for Plax. He has more to lose I believe, and has far less wear on his legs, and is pretty darn good to boot.I understand T.O., but many said the same about Vick coming out of the pen, thats not really the best reason, but valid.

Still like Randy Moss

I'd take Moss as a 4th WR. None of these guys could find their way on to my fantasy team though.

Write in for Steve Smith.
I take plax all day every day. Youngest of them all, was never a locker room cancer, and has a skill set that can payoff on every team out there. If all Moss can do is run deep routes these days, I even take TO over him. TO might play into his 40s if this ACL recovers. Moss is only going to be relevant this year and the future if he gets picked up by a good fit and keeps his mouth shut. Plax could have five years of good production left in him

Plax was a constant problem for NYG. Missing meetings, showing up late and all the nonsense he did to get suspended a few times. He's also turning 34 in about six weeks so I'm not sure you're on the right track with the "five years of good production" comment, especially coming out of the clink w/unknown status for conditioning and fitness. Of course, that vs. TO's unknown status w/surgery and Randy's lack of effort are the keys to this debate.'TheWheel said:

Its really the lesser of 3 evils. All have issues, so anyone you take will have some sort of issue.Plax - Least amount of risk.T.O. - Injury and Drama.Moss - I'll take a legless person over Moss if possible, sorry, but I think last year showed he is worth nothing. Cancer to team, and just does not give any effort at all. If any other players acted and performed like Moss last year, they would be out of the league, as Moss may be.

Really?
The dude is garbage as much or more than Moss. Is your logic that people actually get "rehabilitated" in jail?
If it wasn't for the injury, I would take Terrell hands down. With Plax, there's no telling how much skill he has being away for so long. With Randy Moss, there's always the risk of taking plays off. Even though he loves the camera and attention, TO will give you effort 100% of the time and loves the game.

No, my logic is Plax has the most to play for, and that normally means good things for someone who actually has some talent. If this was Joe Schmoe who never had success, I would be more worried. Look what happened to Vick, but Plax is a WR, run, cut, and catch!Really?

People doo get rehab'd in prison both physically an mentally. While your [sadly] common criminal just gets to learn more tools of the trade, your superstar receiver gets to realize how much of an idiot he was, pump some iron to get rid of all that anger and not take 20 hits from professional athletes a week.
Burress actions are small potatoes to what Moss and TO have done. Illegal gun possession aside (how many rich guys don't have a gun, legally or illegally), he was never ever as bad as Moss and TO outside the lines but still in the stadium. And he is definitely the hungriest of all of them.

Why is the illegal gun possession and self-inflicted gun shot aside? I think that counts. He shot himself, but he could just as easily have put a bullet in someone's face. And it's not like Plax is a choir boy, he's been in trouble with teams before.I do agree he's the hungriest, though.

This was really meant for the 3 FA drama involved Wrs, lol. Hines is not full of drama, and I dont think he's a FA.
