As much as I liked Chambers I'm glad the organization finally figured out that its time to rebuild. Great move for both teams.</p>
The rumors were strong all offsesason & into the preaseason. I am not surprised it happened. Nor am I sorry to see him go. He never really a #1 WR.</p> Time for Ginn & Hagan to step up.</p> I am just sorry Cam & Mueller could not get anything when they let McMichael go.</p>
^ Me too.</p> He is a nice WR, definitely better than anything the Chargers have now, but he dropped way too many passes for my liking. I wish him the best though.</p>
Does anyone have the total number of drops Chris Chambers had the last few seasons?</p> I think people overstate the importance of drops. Even a receiver with terrible hands will only drop 10-15 balls a year. I think Chambers was definitely a #1 receiver a couple of seasons ago, I don't see why he wasn't.</p> I like this trade for SD and hopefully Chambers learns their offensive system somewhat soon. Not that I'm rooting for SD, but I feel Chambers gets too much heat.</p>

Im of the opinion that if you arent going to win now, then trade your best players for draft picks and rebuild quicker. Championship teams are built in rounds 2-5 so getting as many picks in those rounds as possible is always helpful. 1st rounders cost too much and can't live up to the contracts they get, so I actually prefer adding 2nds. There is so much talent left in the 2nd round of every draft.</p>

I think CC was getting a just amount of criticism.</p> I agree w/ that the end of the 1st & 2nd rounds are gold mines. There isalot of hype IMO w/ the 1st half to even 2/3rds of round 1</p>
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (ATLien)</div><div class='quotemain'></p> I was surprised they got that much in return for him, honestly.</p> </div></p> Me too. I would have been fine with a fourth rounder.</p> </p>
I could see a contender trading for Taylor, but I really doubt anyone offers up for Thomas. MLBs seem to come and go</p>

For comparison sake, St. Louis All-Pro Torry Holt has seen a similar amount of targets during the same span, but he's hauled in 60 percent of those looks (321-for-532). Certainly an assembly line of second-rate quarterbacks has hindered Chambers' production over the years, but the finger also can be pointed at Chambers for dropped passes and a perceived lack of effort and focus at times.</p> sports.yahoo.com/fantasy/nfl/news</p> It's from a fantasy football article, so take it for what it's worth.</p> And how the hell do you qoute something?</p>
You can attribute some of Chambers drops to below average QB's. But, there were some games I watched where he'd drop easy ones.</p> You would think that its alot easier to catch a Feidler floater than rocket from Marino?</p> As far as trading JT, Do it IMO.the Rams are in perpetual need of Defensive help and Mueller has worked w/ Linehan & Haslett (ST L DC). I'd be pleased w/ a 3rd & 5th minimum</p>
I think this trade has done justice for letting Welker go. IMO they definetely had the better deal with taking a 2nd rounder from the Chargers. Chambers clearly isn't worth a 2nd but more like a 4th or 5th. I find it odd that they invested so much when they had a chance to get players during free agency/draft time when players like Moss, Darrell Jackson, and Eric Moulds (I think) found new teams. This is clearly a sign that they are desperate to find more options for an already crowded Chargers offense. After all, LT and Gates are the only legit recievers on the team. I haven't heard much of Vincent Jackson, Malcom Floyd, or even Craig Davis. Though I doubt Chambers would automatically be the #1 reciever, he will soon if he shows that his career with the Dolphins was a mistake because of their QB's.</p>
