Boston > Chambers

[bakedmatt]

maybe next week he'll catch a pass over 10 yards.

Boston at 100% is a great weapon. The bottom line is that we are fortunate to have the three guys we do at receiver. What is the big problem???

i love chambers i repeat i love chambers but i live in az & ive seen boston up close & i think boston at his best is better than chambers at hisbest

texasPHINSfan, bash me all you want, but what you say is going in one ear and out the other. How can you forget the year that Boston had with the Chargers. It wasnt spectacluar but it was good, and I think he missed a few games for a suspension. And everyone is saying that Chambers had no QB. QB is a blame, but it is also desire and determination. Roy Williams on the Lions had a great season last year and his QB was Harrington, which he sucks. He also didnt have a receiver on the opposite side of him that was good. The WR that I have lots of respect for is Eric Moulds. He has played with all sorts of QB's and year in and year out, he puts up great stats like it's nothing for him. He is so good, that he opens up other teammates. Look at Peerless Price, Moulds made him get that big contract from Atlanta. Now Lee Evans is beginning to shine, because he is playing with Moulds. Chambers can be a top 5 receiver, but I dont think he wants it.

Chambers is great our #1 David Boston can be the complete package in the NFL if he stayed focused and Booker is solid

 

[enigmatics]

good for him, but boston has never been known to have great hands, and you are looking at boston from his past, he just isnt where he needs to be as of yet..i'd love to see boston in his tip top shape, but he's not there right now

No. Actually you are not looking at Boston appropriately........... Boston has glue for hands. You're pointless to talk to because you've never watched the man play. I have. For the last 5 years.

First, Boston is making plays partly due to the fact that Chambers is on the field. The reality is that Chambers is the fins best receiver right now. Second, the reality is that three weeks ago Boston was on the bubble for making the team. Third, if you look at history in Chambers career, when has he EVER had a qb that could consistently get him the ball? When has he EVER been in offense that was not conservative? I find it amazing that Chambers has even suceeded at all. Finally, if you compare their careers boston and Chambers have pretty comparable stats. If you look at Boston since he left Arizona, what has he done? Chambers is a game changer.......if the fins get decent qb play, Chambers, not Boston, will be the one to have the huge year. Just a side question, how can you possibly know that Chambers doesn't run good routes? I have been a Fin fan for 25 years and since Chambers has been in the league I have never once read anywhere or seen anything that would give me that idea.

Or perhaps when has he ever polished up his route running skills and mechanics? When has he ever shown some passion for the game? Chambers being our best reciever doesn't say all that much. He's freakishly athletic, but has yet to prove he's a legitimate no.1 in this league. Regardless of who the QB is, the guys at the top of the game make any QB look better. Instead, we're still sitting here waiting for some saint QB to make Chambers look better.

 

[enigmatics]

its moronic because he is basing his opinion on faulty information.

If i think that Ricky was the best RB in 2004, and i proclaim it as such as my opinion, its a stupid opinion because he did not play last year.

To say that Chambers hasn't proven anything in his career and Boston has is also assinine, as their stats will attest to. I posted them pretty clear. Obviously the person who posted that comment only saw Boston's one stellar year and never looked at Chamber's stats. If you are going to criticize my post and attempt to condescend, at least respond to my points instead of taking it off-course.

One stellar year? That's cute.....you're sitting here telling us we're misrepresenting information whe Boston's thrown up 2 years that Chambers can't even come close to. And don't give me that "Well Chambers had bad QB's and philosophies" ............give me a break........Boston put up two stellar seasons with the bottom feeder Cardinals..........

 

[enigmatics]

you pick two stats that Boston trumps Chambers on. I can pick two stats that Chambers trumps Boston on. what does that prove?

Chambers has produced his ENTIRE career. Boston hasn't produced the "earth-shattering" stats that you love so much since 2001. He is four years removed from that year, when he was younger and probably in better shape (and pre-surgery). Boston is 4 years older from that time, and no longer the #1 WR, and a surgery or two under his belt, not to mention on a team with crappy QBs and a dearth of good WRs. What makes you think he'll repeat? thats what i want to know.

He has? He's produced sub-1,000 yard seasons consecutively..........you know how many yards per game that takes in a 16 game season to, at most, put up 950 yards or so? Please..........

 

[enigmatics]

maybe next week he'll catch a pass over 10 yards.

Or maybe Frerotte or AJ will complete one to him down the field for once when he's got his man badly beaten dowfield. Nice try though. Thanks for playing.

Seems to me any talk....let alone debate, regarding who's gonna post better stats this season, despite how well anyones playing, is a bit premature.
Given our record as far back as Yatil Green, if even "two" of these guys,
let alone "THREE", actually make it through thursday nights game without having an ACL, Hammy, Achilles Heel, or big "TOE", cash out their chips for the season, that in itself would be an outstanding statistic.

As for Boston, the talent is certainly there, and if he continues to play, theres no saying what he'd be capable of in a Linehan run offense (all three for that matter), especially once his knee is back to 100%.
AND as long as he stays busy, as his problems arise anywhere between three weeks to a month, of idle downtime. Thats when he starts to grow horns.

Just thought this thread was lacking, it's usual dose of pessimism...

 

[fins44]

bad throw, he would have been out of bounds on that throw even if he caught it.

Agree. Bad throw. Ferotte can't throw the deep ball at all!

 

[fins44]

Boston career yards: 4619 (5 years) 25 TDs average yds yr: 923
Chambers career yards: 3478 (4 years) 28 TDs average yds yr: 870

BOTH guys are averaging 14.9 yards a catch over their career.

Boston had a QB that threw 525 times for 3600 yards in his best year.
Chambers had a QB that threw 318 times for 2100 yards in his best year.

It would be intresting to see a percentage of their respective teams total offense!

 

[BlueFin]

I'm happy with what we're getting out of boston as well. but im a booker man myself, and boston's still got a ways to go.

Bookers a nice possesion receiver...nothing more, Boston has the ability to be a dominant receiver in this league as he was a few years ago, he's still young and can regain that form.

 

[kastofsna120]

boston looked very good last night. if he plays to his capability, his presence alone will help chambers, mcmichael, brown, r. williams, and whoever is QBing the team. not bad to have him for so cheap, too
