CHRIS CHAMBERS AVAILABLE!!! and other WRs.

[Bretsky]

Talent, I wouldn't start him over Jones. CC had two strong years, overrated!!!!Like most UW NFL skill players

Two years ??

In Six Seasons

He's had 7 or more TD's in four of the six seasons
He's averaged just over 7 TD's per season
He's averaged just under 900 yards per season
He's averaged 14 yards per catch
He's a deep threat with leaping ability

He's had terrible QB's throwing to him

I don't think he's superstar talent; but IO your generalizations about him are ignorant.

Maybe your anti Badger bias comes from the fear that we kick your tails this year ?

[Bretsky]

I don't think Chris Chambers would make the difference if they don't have TE's and RB's.

How much would you want to mortgage to get him?

I didn't read this thread, but I suppose the theory is that he comes cheap on a short term contract, the usual battle cry.

OK, go ahead and sign him, see what I care.

Yes, the battle cry will be get him for free or for cheap; after all we don't have much cap space for this year. Only 13,000,000

I'd sure hate it if the Queens found a way to get him

[Bretsky]

I'll give you credit for that comeback, you got me!

DANG I forgot about Brady; you did get me there too

[Harlan Huckleby]

I'd sure hate it if the Queens found a way to get him

except it would be delicious to see him go mano-a-mano with Fergy

Once in a while even a blind badger can find his burrow. You won't kick blues butt although Bucky should beat them. I'm picking the badgers to win the conference with OSt taking second. Carr is awful!!!!!

Yes, we do need to keep Carr there; kind of like old Wayne Fontes. He's very valuable to the rest of the Big Ten

Take 05 out of CC's numbers and he is not very spectacular. He is basicly a 55 catch guy that will get you around 800-850 yards per year. I guess he is slightly above average. I think I might steer clear of him after looking at him if he wants any $$ at all.

[b bulldog]

831 per year and 58 receptions per year.

Take the best year out of any players numbers and of course there will be a drop in his numbers. CC is good player with the ability to be DD good with the right QB.

Go ahead a nit-pick my statement if it makes you feel better. The fact remains that TT has done a HORRIBLE job improving our RB position. One could argue that we have taken a giant step back. But your right, TT did trade for an injury prone RB. NICE JOB!

What do you define horrible as?

I can understand the view point that TT has not improved the RB position, as some see fit. If you look at it objectively, he brought in a decent RB in Morency and came out ahead in that trade. He's also bought a rookie RB that has the potential to be a 1,000 yard rusher in the future. I think most people agree that Jackson, over time, does have the talent to be a starting RB.

RB is our Achilles' heel, as of now. It could turn for the better in the future, it also could take a turn for the worse.

You're entitled to your opinion and I respect it, but, IMO, I find the sarcasm unnecessary and obnoxious. It can be witty at times, but if it's used over and over again, it gets repetitive and boring.

We're all concerned about the RB position. None of us will know until the seaon. Only time will tell.

I find the lack of a decent RB on this team unnecessary and obnoxious. I also find terms like "potential and "only time will tell" obnoxious. I'm not taking a shot at you, really I'm not, but my attitude isn't going to change unless TT brings in a PROVEN vet. at RB. I understand that LT wasn't available but there are options. A trade could be made. But TT would rather sit on his draft picks and yes, they MAY get better but not while Brett Favre is here. We need offensive playmakers in the worst way. Even Brett knows it and he has way more inside knowledge then any of us. Our running game is a joke and TT is to blame.

And why are you ignoring 2005 ? Besides trying to doctor the stats

Chambers will get paid by someone.

That is why TT will not get into the running if he's cut and unrestricted. So you'll be happy.

Come to think of it, I'd be surprised if he gets cut. If he does it'll be a based on his contract; not on his NFL talent

I couldn't agree more. Opposite DD and with Favre as his QB, Chambers would be a great weapon. Look at the QBs he has had to work with. Come on!

Acquiring Chambers would take Stones; not in TT world this year IMO

[Patler]

God, it is sooooooooo depressing to know that ANY TIME a player that isnt a rookie free agent gets cut or is available via trade, Ted Thompson WILL NOT get involved. He is always saying that he is looking to improve the roster but I can't believe that he really believes that. It would be exciting to have a GM that actually got involved in aquiring players outside of the draft. I am very depressed about the Pack right now.

Your contempt for TT causes you to forget what he has done. I'm not suggesting these guys are great, by any means, but in two seasons (since we don't know yet what he will do in 2007) at least the following veterans were acquired via trades or after being released:

Koren Robinson
Rod Gardner
Donald Lee
Vernand Morrency
Brandon Miree
Robert Thomas
Reshard Lee
Mookie Moore
Tyson Walter
Todd Franz
Todd Bauman

Three former 1st round picks KR, Gardner and Thomas), Miree and Thomas became starters, Lee might be. Again, we have only two years to look at here, because the "cuts" are just now happening and possible trades crop up at cutdown time as well.

Others like Ruvell Martin, Holiday, etc were not in their first NFL years, but had not been on active rosters in earlier years. I think the same applied to Gado.

Again, I'm not saying TT has done a top notch job, but it is not an area he has totally ignored either.

I agree, I don't see TT doing this. I'm not sure how I feel about this myself, do we trade for a WR and strengthen a position that while is not weak, could use a player of CC caliber? Like I said earlier, I wish this were TE’s and RB's on the block instead of a WR.
