Bruce Smith was already on the decline and was a shell of his former self, Taylor has not shown any signs of slowing down to date

Moss does things that Burress can't too like stretch the defense with his speed. The difference between a Super Bowl and a playoff team is not so big, injuries and breaks play a big role. Who would have picked the Packers to do well last year in the preseason?

Burress is injury prone but the difference is he can still play at a high level when injured and Moss can't. Plus he a red zone threat. If you saw the GB game he simply took the game over against GB's corners in -10 weather with foot and ankle injuries and that's the difference. Moss quit against GB's corners. I'll take Burress over SM anyday of the week.

I do agree with you that there is not a big difference between us and the Giants. They got hot at the right time. If Miami gives up Taylor for a 4th rounder I'd do it. But not a 1st through 3rd. If they want to unload him and his salary then they'll take the short end of the stick. See Randy Moss to NE last year. That's what smart teams do.
