Your right! I'm just wondering if saban says he wants the best players on the field and, boston becomes the boston of old, would he be the #2.

IMO, if he became the "Boston of old", he would be the #1 WR. he WAS that good.

but those are some BIG IFs.

whats so special? he runs great routes, hes big and physical, hes got good hands, hes not as slow as you people here make him out to be, and hes young and hes not expensive...

thats pretty special to me... he gave us what 700 yards recieving in the horrible situation we had here and with chambers and mcmike getting most of the throws? hes a good player, you'll see

I will have to agree with this statement. Let me add that he also is another threat to teams that cannot handle a three receiver set such as Chambers Booker Boston. He is what he is and is going to be better then most receivers out there!
 
what's special about Booker? just look at his stats, he's been able to be a pro-bowler disspite having a bad QB with da Bears

Not expensive he is making 3 mil a year. which is 5th highest on the squad behind Ronnie Brown Zach JT and madison.
 
so Booker got 638 yards in 15 games he started- Chambers got only 898 and Randy got 791 in 16 games -

If we want to get rid of Booker lets get rid of they all? Come on it wasn't Mart Booker - Chambers should of also been over a thousand as the no1 and Booker put up good numbers as a no2 considering the lack of an offense we had.

We are set at WR I like our no1 and 2.
 
Booker is a smallish receiver with narrow shoulders. The poster who keeps insisting he's big must be watching on some type of jumbotron that inflates Marty Booker alone.

He runs very good decisive routes over the middle but doesn't have outstanding hands or jumping ability. In fact, if it's a one-on-one situation Booker gets the short stick almost every time. That's not an overreaction to the play two weeks ago. In last year's Tennessee game I had a low seat and watched Booker every play. Granted, it was scant weeks after we acquired him. But Samari Rolle was virtually laughing at Booker all game long. A wide grin and almost bored with the assignment of covering Booker. There was a pass into the end zone that Booker didn't pretend to contest, and it ended up in an INT and not a harmless incompletion.

Admittedly, I've been down on Booker ever since that game. Spielman was insisting Booker was the equivalent of a first down pick but in person he looked like a little insignificant wideout, someone I'd be desperate for my Canes to replace if he ever started for them.

Booker and Gordon were never pieces you could win anything significant with. Not hindsight, obvious at the time. Ogunleye is a prize young defender at a position very difficult to fill with an athlete and pass rusher of his caliber. He was a star for us and would have continued to be. What he does in Chicago is squat irrelevant. I concede I don't follow salary cap specifics since that didn't exist when I began following the game. But I'll never believe there wasn't better compensation than little Marty Booker and a third.

C'mon, unless it's complete lies, he's listed as six feet tall and 210 pounds. He's hardly a pygmy.

I know the guy had one good year in Chicago but, what has he done here in a year and a preseason? I've been looking for this guy to do something and nada! Promote Boston to the #2 and demote booker to #3.

He had 2 good years in Chicago. He's a good solid veteran who knows how to get open.

Dooger is wrong more often than he posts.
 
If you are going to go on stats alone then Booker looked pretty good last year considering our offense. Compare that to New England's top two receivers last year. David Givens had 874 yards and David Patten had 800 yards. They both have been in that offense for a couple of years. Booker didn't even get to spend a training a camp with the Dolphins last year before being thrown in.

Agreed.

Ive also come to accept the fact that people are just morons. If a receiver isnt pompous and a standout 1000 yard guy, then he just isnt good. If he isnt a deep threat, he just isnt good. Who cares if he has the best hands on the team. Who cares that he is a posession WR, I want all deep threats. If its 3rd and 6 and I need a sure completion, I want the guy who can catch the 60 yard bomb, not make the first down.
