CHRIS CHAMBERS AVAILABLE!!! and other WRs.

[Harlan Huckleby]

We have the cheap no name free agent to toss into the lineup in Morency.

Morency is a young guy. We essentially swapped him for Samkon Gado because he is a better fit for the offense.

and Ted drafted a few RB's with the bright idea of tossing them immediately into the starting lineup with a "sink or swim" attitude.

ya, you're right, there is this parallel.

Thompson just does not have it in him to take chances. His method of improving the team revolves around maxing out his number of draft picks, so as to create a competition for starting positions.

well, this method is working for the long term. I agree, he should have taken a chance on a RB this season. And in my opinion, matched offer for David Martin.

Chris Chambers: Likely to Stay With Dolphins
RotoWire.com

Update: Chambers is not in danger of being traded or cut, the Miami Herald reports.

Recommendation: The NFL Network had reported on Tuesday night that the Dolphins were dangling Chambers as trade bait; while the team has put out minor feelers, no trade is imminent. All things considered, such as Chambers' recent plea of 'not guilty' to charges of impaired driving, any potential trade partner would have to take on a $7.3 million cap hit. Chambers remains the Dolphins' No. 1 receiver.

We have greater and more obvious needs at RB,FB and TE. ., . STILL !!

Re: ,

Hang in there, as before too much longer, even the TT deluded KLAN will have to face reality. The writing is clearly on the wall now.

The real concern for me, or problem I'm served with as a Packer fan looking ahead, is that TT may well be the anti-scapegoat.

We may have two more and then two - three more year's after that to suffer him as reward for his successful takedown.

The only strippers and nothing else, better than TT are in Vegas.

Maybe you dont know what spelling clan with a K means in the US, but I bet you do.

Oddly enough, Robert Ferguson is starting out as the consensus #2 receiver here in Minnesota. I suppose he would have a chance to move up to #1. the current #1 is Bobby Wade. Wade is small but he's slow.

[AV David]

Why do we need Chris Chambers. I can understand that we should have drafted him rather than Ferguson 7 years ago, but why do we need him now? He has been a good #2 receiver in Miami, but we have a lot of #2s already. His current contract is $5.5 million per year Presumably KRod is coming back in October.

Why do we need him now?

We have greater needs and to roster him, you would have to cut a receiver who is younger, bigger and has an upside. Besides, Holiday is the 3rd quarterback, so you really can't cut him.

Do YOU live in YOUR perfect world?

Sorry but I'm not among the naive.

Maybe? YOU JUST CAN'T FACE THE TRUTH.

Maybe . .. you still believe that Lee Harvey Oswald was the sole assassin?

Hahaha!

You have theories that explain facts, but you do not have facts that imply any of your theories to the exclusion of other potential theories. In other words, you have not lived up to your burden of proof.

Anybody can come up with any number of crazy theories to explain basically anything under the sun, and they'd even be consistent with the facts that they're trying to explain. None of this is useful, without any evidence that either they're right and other people are wrong or that their theories are more useful than competitive theories.

You claim a lot of things about Ted's motives. Do you know Ted Thompson? Do you speak to him regularly? Does he call you late at night to share his innermost thoughts? Do you have some reason for us to believe that your estimation of Ted's motives is in fact, accurate? The fact that you believe something with all of your heart does not in fact increase the probability that you are correct or the credibility of your argument. Is there really any reason to ever state, as though you know it to be fact, your thoughts on the personal opinions and motivations of people you have never met or spoken to?

I could claim that Ted Thompson is actually an alien on the planet earth, who needs sweat in order to power his spacecraft, which explains the fact that he always drafts 10+ guys and then brings in several UFAs. Clearly, he'd want to bring in 50+ guys to harvest their sweat so he can return home, but he doesn't want to draw attention to him lest his alien nature is discovered and he's vivisected by earth scientists. His alien physiology also explains his unearthly complexion and his success in the national football league as a player. Should anybody listen to me, based on the facts I've provided? Absolutely not. Are you providing really any more meaty facts than my "Thompson is an Alien" hypothesis?

[Bretsky]

Face it, 3T is handling this like he handled our guards in 2005. It is reprehensible that we have not added veteran depth & experience to our running back position.

To play devil's advocate (Ted being the devil, as usual), he's handling the RB position differently. He brought in two guards for "veteran depth" and those guys stunk it up. Many of the available RB free agents might end the same way.

I think going for "depth players" usually fails. Undistinguished veterans who are let go by teams are suspect. Christ, look at how few of these 2nd-tier free agents have panned-out in GB of late. Manuel, Walker, etc. If you want to improve your team, you have to take a risk. Such as paying Ahman Green a lot of money. Or going after a similar caliber player.

I think it was one free agent and one draft pick

Adrienne Klemm and Will Whattaker started as the OG's.

Two unproven talents. There lies the comparisons IMO

It would be idiotic of the Dolphins to trade Chambers

At the same time, it would be idiotic not to give up a 5th for him and his contract.

As I stated before, it would never happen.

I'm pretty sure the Dolphins would not do it and I also think TT would puss out. I would admit if TT would trade a draft pick for an offensive playmaker like Chambers my views on him would be swayed.

He's a playmaker and we have the money; I don't understand why you would not want him. Instantly upgrades our receiving core and it would show a committment to win now

He brought in two old dogs, Klemm and .... that driver blocker who got cut on final cutdown.

I don't compare THAT fiasco to the youth movement at RB now.

I guess there is a comparison, tho, letting Green go and letting Wahl leave.

That's right; that Matt O'dwyer dude

But Klemm wasn't really all that old

O'Dwyer was.

Ha, you say that like it's a good thing.

Well, yea he is small, but he's also slow so he's got that going for him.
