The guys I've been advocating are younger guys that WOULD start on this team. OJ Otogwe Ryan Clark Dwan Edwards Kevin Walter Chester Pitts (stopgap, but at least talented) This fanbase is content with not only stopgaps, but stopgaps that are marginal players. LeKevin Smith? Justin Fargas? Get the **** out of here. And FTR, I won't be upset if they sign Thomas Jones, I just think it's a ridiculous waste considering RB's are a dime-a-dozen, and we all know what happens to RB's after they hit 30. This franchise should take a page from the Colts draft playbook. Draft a back. Use him up. Release him. Rinse, repeat. Signing RB's in FA is a monumentally bad decision, IMO. |

This isn't a signing I'm crushed about. Both of them are stopgaps. Nobody should look at either of these guys as being even close to a 5-year solution. |

But not a roster full of them. |
This comes down to who was available. Walters got over 4 million a year having never caught for more than 899 yards in a year. 8 TD's was the most he had in a year and that's double his 2nd highest total.
IMO, the only thing Walters has over Chambers is that he's 3 years younger. We know what Chambers can do in this offense. I also don't see why Chambers can't be a good option for 3-4 years. Wideouts can play into their mid 30's easy. I'm not saying Walters wouldn't have been a good get, but Chambers is established here. There's no reason to think he'll do any worse than he did last year. |

And in that one... Chambers outplayed the younger WR. Quote:
I don't know why you suggested that. I would much rather re-sign Chambers as a #2 who can stretch the field (something that he's better at than Walter) and DRAFT his replacement. |

How can you expect a guy that hasn't been consistent over the last 5 seasons to magically maintain that level of play here - as he's aging? You know, if he had consistently put up 800+ yards over the past 5 years, I wouldn't have nearly the issue. Problem is, he hasn't. He had an average year catching punts from Matt Cassel, people forget about his past, and now he's a legit WR2? It doesn't work that way. Unless you're just going out of your way to be optimistic, I see no evidence to lead me to believe that Chambers will replicate his performance of 2009. |

What about the 2 years before where Walters outplayed Chambers? Care to explain why Walter isn't a 5 year option other than it's made up and makes your argument look better? |
