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.

C'mon, Flop.
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.
