Holy %&@#! Who is this guy?!

[MadtownPacker]

If I remember correctly he did alligator arm alot of balls last year.

He would have had been trying to get the ball. Instead he was trying to get out of the way many times last year IMO.

DDarius took his guts out with that clothesline. He needs to get over it or his career is over. DD did it.

Huck: Chatman BETTER than Fergie? That's nuts. At least Fergie attempted to get YACs. Chatman tried to outdo Schroeder in BACs (bailouts per catch - I bet Chatman has a better working knowledge of all the soft spots on the Lambeau turf than Larry bird had of dead spots in the Boston Garden Parquet floor!).

I think they match up pretty well, but Fergie has better averages, longer plays and longer returns (at least in KOs) and also has 37 tackles (18 in 2003) to add to his resume. Chatman has a very pedestrian punt return career with one late season punt return TD. Maybe you could argue they are similar, but it's a real stretch to say Chatman is better than Ferguson.


The numbers

Fergie:
G GS No Yards Avg Lg TD 20+ 40+ FD
56 25 111 1546 13.9 51 11 23 6 76 (Total)
15 12 38 520 13.7 47 4 7 2 25 (best year 2003)

Chatman:
G GS No Yards Avg Lg TD 20+ 40+ FD
48 5 71 795 11.2 25 5 5 0 46 (Total)
16 3 49 549 11.2 25 4 4 0 31 (best year 2005)

Career kick returns
G No Yards Avg Lg TD 40+
56 38 863 22.7 71 0 2 (fergie)
48 66 1460 22.1 59 0 3 (chatman)

I thought Chatman was a nice route runner with good hands.

I really dislike Fergusson as a receiver. He will occasionally dive for a ball on a post pattern and make an impressive grab. But he just doesn't seem to be able to get open, for whatever reason. I think he's no damn good.

I just go by my memory of a few plays that stick in my beaner, which ain't so scientific.

Chatman got picked up by somebody in free agency.

What Mad said. Donavon's cheap shot put the nails in Fergies career coffin. Maybe with DD as his menatl coach, he can come back, but, I think not.

I hope I am wrong, because he has the physical tools to make Walker's AWAL-pains go away free of further symtoms.

But, I am down on the list as an "Official Fergie Doubter".

I hope he reads this thread and shows me what a dork I am this season....

sorry bf4 i didn't mean to turn your thread into a fergy thread.



........oh wait on second thought i did

[Deputy Nutz]

What the hell, it is the off season. I think Ferguson is going to be the second starting receiver and have over 1000 yards receiving.

[Noodle]

I'm on board with giving Fergy one last chance at love. I remember only one play from last year where I really thought Fergy had a shot at the ball. The other instances of alligator arms were way overexagerated by the folks who refuse to believe that Favre was ever at fault for a single pick. But the fact remains that he didn't come up with the spectacular type of grabs that Walker could pull off.

So sure, like everyone else, I am losing patience with the guy. Nevertheless, I'm sending him waves and waves of powerful, positive thoughts. If he's as fast as ND reports, then we really may have found a guy to go vertical in Walker's absence.

This Fergy thread is actually a decent one..At least some posters seem open to giving him another chance..

Noodle!

Howdy doodle and welcome to Packer Rats.

Sorry about your guy falling out of the palm tree, man.

[Tarlam!]

Swede, that avartar is KING man!

[Noodle]

Swede, Thanks, brother, for remembering my avatar from the WJS forum. I'm so friggin' computer incompetent that I can't figure out how to downsize the thing so that it fits the 90 pixel limit.

As for Keef, yeah, it's a bummer, but I've kind of come to terms with it. In a way, it's just what you should expect from him. Especially if he was climbing that tree 'cause someone told him that you could get a wicked buzz from tokin' coconut husks. Just hope he had a gut full of Rebel Yell at the time of the fall -- that would help to cushion the blow.
