This will probably be mine. Even without Chambers there he was a 3rd-4th option and not getting too many looks. I will be looking to send him in a package to move up in this years rookie draft.
He has impressed me and he's made a number of big catch's. He is a big reason they won the 1st and 2nd playoff games. I don't think his fantasy value has changed very much though. With a healthy Gates, he's still option #4 in the passing game.
I drafted him in my dynasty league a few yrs ago, but traded him fairly quickly when it was clear that after LT and Gates, the WR numbers wouldn't be there. However, I have really been impressed with him the last few games. He's shown flashes of good play before, but now he's starting to be consistent. He's got great size and speed; nice to see him putting it together.
He's not better than Chambers
I see them as very equal...
I doubt Parker is even on any team next yr... hes missed too much time in the 3 yrs; and he wasn't even that good. But even with out Parker, The Chargers WRs is crowded if CC is kept... and if VJax was suffering the droppies this season, CC wouldn't have even been brought over. Another item we have to take into account is that the end of LT2 is coming... the big 30 is a yr and a half away; and I think we all can agree that hes slowing down. Hes still one of the best, if not the best... but not nearly as dominant as he was last yr. The off-season will be interesting; if SDC trusts VJax has improved to WR1 status, they will let CC walk.
This is one of the rare correct uses of "a complete 360" I've ever seen.
Parker is actually pretty solid. He's like a poor man's Wes Welker.
Gates is a TE and an underpaid one at that. Where does Chambers salary rank among other #1 wide recievers around the league? There is no way Chambers will be cut. AJ Smith cited the remaining seasons on his contract as one of the reasons why he traded for him.
your right... I believe theres a better chance CC stays than goes; but not for 5 Mil. And CC is probably happy enough to be on a successful team that he will be more than willing to take about a 2 Mil cut. However, there is also a chance that management says "Jackson stepped up, Davis improved, we have the best TE in the league; why should we give CC anything.... cut him loose, he'll land on his feet somewhere."
Some of that hit should be going to the Dolphins though. At least thats how it is when I trade all the best players to Chargers in Madden.
Good point...He has really enjoyed not getting the top corner and has made the most of it.
$5M is not too much considering there's no bonus to worry about. I'd rather keep him next year and then decide whether to cut/trade him or re-sign him.
I think he'll resign for less. He wasn't worth that much in Miami which is why they traded him. I think he still needs more time to prove he's worth a contract like that, whether he stays with SD or moves on.
I paid pretty high... in 2 leagues. Personaly; I'm holding.
I disagree; $5M is a ton for CC... LT isn't even making much more than that a yr; I'm sure LT had a large bonus. But Still.... $5M is a lot. And maybe if CC is giving the option to stay for less or walk, he might walk... the market for WRs this yr is very good. I believe the smart move for CC is to resign for a couple extra yrs and less $$$.
Big catch's? I know there's a huge problem on these boards with wrongfully applied apostrophes (along with the would of/would have conundrum) but this has got to be the best ever.
You're certainly welcome to believe that. I happen to think Chambers is one of the most overrated Wr's in the last 5 years.
I'm not ready to put him in the top 20....but I think from what I've seen Philip Rivers is getting better as a passing quarterback and I also don't think every receiver that comes into the league is going to be a star right out of the gate.Sometimes we see a Moss or even a Colston who come out and impress their rookie season but there's also some receivers that seem to come into their own after 3 and 4 years.I'd be willing to project Jackson around the 35 to 40th WR. If someone's gung ho on him and want to snag him early, more power to them but I think he and the passing game are coming along nwo that Marty ball isn't there and the teams had more time to gel with a new coaching staff.Next year should be better than this year with a year under the new staffs belt.
Possibly, are young players not supposed to improve? Are there not new posters who may not have been here last year to debate it? Both Jackson and Rivers are coming into their own, I think it's a legitimate claim to think they'll improve.Now, if you don't think he'll improve from what he's doing now, that's OK too but telling me that we did it last year doesn't do the job.
I thought Chambers was overrated when he was in Miami, and I didn't expect him to play as well as he has for SD. But he's played really well. I know "better than Vincent Jackson" isn't necessarily saying much, but he's played better than Vincent Jackson for sure.Whether he can keep it up remains to be seen. But Chambers has been clutch.Same with VJ. His recent success isn't a huge surprise since the potential has always been there. Now we have to see if he can keep it up.Craig Davis should also get more playing time next year. I don't know if any of those guys will have much fantasy value. But as NFL receivers they may not be a bad trio. (Eric Parker and Legedu Nanee provide nice depth, too.)
Absolutely.
Chambers big play ability is limited by Rivers noodle arm. He can barely throw the ball 40 yards in the air. Jackson is his equal on this team. I like Jackson except he is at best the #3 option on the team behind Tomlinson and Gates for scoring TD's.
