Well my post answered your question. The truly great ones make themselves great.
How is TO a terrible example? You stated my point exactly, exceptional skills. That is exactly my point his lack of QBING skills or lack of a truly potent running attack didn't matter.
Chambers it's nothing but excuses from everyone whether it be QB, no RB'S no O-line play blah blah blah.
We keep waiting for him to come out.
Like I said the guy has talent, if he finally gets his 1000 yard season it will be because he finally focuses on the catch rather then the big play which is what I think his problem is.
Yes I believe you could have thrown Walker, Moss, Harrison, TO, Ward, Holt etc... and they would have all gotten a 1000 yards IMO. Dunno about Walker since it was his breakout year.
what are you talking about, Jeff Garcia is a better qb than Fiedler, I think he went to the probowl one year, and they did have a running back for quite awhile until recently. Remember Garrison Hearst? he was a good running back and he played well for them, I'm tired of this bickering about Chambers, if he doesn't do it this year then I will say that he has underachieved, but the jury is still out, he will finally have a legit chance this year to get the ball, Chambers needs a guy that can throw the ball, Fiedler could never throw the ball, he was leader, but you have to have the ability. Feeley and Frerotte can both throw the ball better than Fiedler, Feeley definitly has a stronger arm, A bomb thrown by fiedler always seems woobly, and they looked so light, you would never really see Fiedler throw or get the ball in a tight space because he didn;t have the arm strength or accuracy to get it there. Feelye biggestn problem is mental, not physical, whic is not good, but Fiedler wasn't any better in teh mental aspect either. Regardless thoug, in a fantasy stand point Chambers has a better chance of having bigger numbers with Feeley or Frerrote, because they can get the ball to the receivers in more various ways than Fiedler. Fiedler might make a deep pass, every now and then, but he has thrown some "ducks" in the air. I've always noticed how Fiedler's throws were like feather passes, not much velecity to the throws, you obviously don't want to put too much mustard on the ball, but you want to get the ball to the receiver in stride, and to him as quick as you can so by the time the reciver catches the ball he can try running with it, or to at least prevent a Db to have time to react and get in front of the ball and intercept the pass. Garcia is more accurate than Fielder, and could throw on the run well also. I've seen a billion of these threads now, why don't we wait unitl this season starts before we say all this, enough is enough. I'm enjoying my summer, but this talk just makes me want the season to start now, so that you doubters can be proved wrong, I'm holding judgemnet on Chambers until the 2005 season ends, I believe he will breakout because he will have his best chance to succeed, and if he doesn't then it will allow to really judge without the other stuff. I for one think he will breakout this year.
