I'm a big Chambers booster, but I don't see any way that his QB situation is improved this year over last.People that think Culpepper will start at the beginning of the season are delusional.
You must be crazy or something.
Wow, really going out on a limb there. The guy finished with 181 points last year in a standard scoring league. That's 1 point behind Torry Holt who finished 5th overall. As for those knocking the QB situation, how can it be any worse than what he's had his entire career?
No. I'm a Vikings fan that saw Culpepper's play at the beginning of the year.I also understand he hurt his knee or something.
What does this mean?Does this mean he can run, but not run as fast as Randy Moss?
He came out of Wisconsin with something like a 52" vertical. Yeah.........he can jump with Moss.
I didn't realize he had such a verticle. I guess the comment Moss-like skills implies Chambers would be similar to Moss as far as overall skill and productiveness. But I have never seen chambers face constant double teams while posting 10 catch, 200 yard, 3 touchdown games.I think Chambers is probably more Marcus Robinson like than Randy Moss.
If you remove Chambers' aberration game from last year, the guy posted a 67-880 season over 15 games. This is not the consistency (...or lack thereof) you want with a Top-5 guy...let alone a Top-10...guy.
No way.Of course, I think MR is a stiff, so take that for what it's worth.
Sorry to be rude... but I "dislike" these kinds of statements.Please realize that the original poster did not say, take him as the number 5 WR... he is simply stating that he thinks Chamber will end up in the top 5.
He is like a mini-Moss IMO. Not quite as fast, but very fast. Lets not forget just how fast Moss really is! Can jump through the roof ala Moss. Moss however can jump through your roof and make it look easy. Very acrobatic, but not quite the same body control as Moss. He can create seperation, but then again nobody does this better than Moss. He does not have near the size of Moss though at only 5'11. I won't say Moss has better hands though... I have seen Chambers make some SICK catches! So in short, take a way just a hair of everything that makes Moss so great and then you have Chambers IMO.
I'm glad you asked...1. HoltSorry to be rude... but I "dislike" these kinds of statements.Please realize that the original poster did not say, take him as the number 5 WR... he is simply stating that he thinks Chamber will end up in the top 5.
I'd like to know where you have him ranked and who you have ahead of him that is more "consistent." And can the words widereceiver and consistency really be used in the same sentence?
Frerotte isn't the QB. Feeley isn't the QB. Fielder isn't the QB.They have a decent coach.
Chambers vertical jump was 45"
http://www2.jsonline.com/badger/fb/mar01/b...sp?format=printAt the combine in Indianapolis last month, the 6-foot, 205-pound Chambers didn't run the 40-yard dash, but he performed a vertical leap of 45 inches, which is believed to be a combine record. Thus, he went into this workout hoping to prove just one thing.
I don't think so. USAToday>Milwaukee Sentinel.Edit: Hmm...CNN reports he did 45.
Well, if you prefer ESPN and Sports Illustratedhttp://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/football/...ockdraft_march/
Yeah, I edited my post as you were posting.
I use NFL.com for this, but can only see one player at a time. Here is Chambers': http://www.nfl.com/players/playerpage/235203/gamelogs/2005
How exactly has Harrison been slowed by age/injury? Unless you're prognosticating here.....
Sorry, doing two things at once.Evilgrin 72 said:
Let me clarify:1) Moss was once considered a sure-fire top three WR, but has been slowed by injuries the last two years.2) Harrison was once considered a sure-fire top three WR, but a combination of factors (age, Reggie Wayne, feel free to sepculate the reason for his relative decline) have caused him to drop out of the top 3. More likely hes a top 5-7 guy this year. Thats how I see it anyway.My whole point was that the upper tier of WR's seem to have come back to the pack a bit. Even TO's situation is somewhat up in the air after switching teams. Chambers has a chance to make up some ground on these guys this year.
