I definitly think that any of our receivers can step up and take Gardners spot. The problem is I dont think its that hard to take Gardners spot and that they are all on par with each other. They all have different strengths, but none are complete. We could definitly use another receiver. i would love for us to get Plaxico Burress
Plax reminds me of a bigger Rod Gardner. Hell of a talent but inconsistent. He's going to be looking for a bigger contract than he's worth.

Plaxico has improved, though. Gardner's best year was arguably his rookie season, where he was inconsistent, but a factor. As a starter the next year, he got more catches and yards, but as the number one option in a pass-oriented offense, barely cracking 1000 yards isn't a resume-builder. Since then, he's been unable to acclimate to his role in the offense - and the drops just keep on coming.
