Burress and Eli Manning have combined for 29 touchdown catches since 2005, the most by a receiver-quarterback tandem in the league during that time.

Found that while reading about Plaxico's refusal to practice. Does that surprise anyone else? That certainly would not have been in my top 5 guesses.

When you think about it the usual suspects (Moss, Owens, Harrison) either don't qualify or were injured.

Burress on the other hand has been a TD machine lately.

I've always thought that Burress has flown under the radar some, maybe some of it is inconsistency and the fact that he is not a high reception guy, but his numbers the past 3 seasons have been very good and his yard per catch average has always been better than average as well.

Brady/Moss are trailing that # by 6 after just 1 year together in what took Eli/Plax 3 yrs to do.

My first guesses would have included Palmer or the other Manning. I would have thought about it by looking at the QB's. I'm sure I would have skipped Eli.
