Why Edwards? We have Booker & Chambers

[dolphin_safe]

What is the definition of a #1 reciever vs. a #2. I've heard of teams having 2 #1's. Or a 1A and 1B.

I think you answered your own question.

It looks like we're stuck at two. This completely sucks, but it's reality.

There's talk we're going with Edwards. But Booker is a guy who showed he was a #1 receiver for a couple years in Chicago. Since then, he's been hurt and has played on crappy offenses. And last year, he was traded to the Fins about a week before the season began!

Chambers is a good #1 but a great #2. He can concentrate on being a deep threat. Starting with his rookie year, this was his strength.

I have researched Edwards the last day, and while he looks awfully good, why would we pick him? How often will we have three receivers on the field even in a Linehan system? And will it matter if we have three great receivers if we have crappy RB's and QB's?

The answer, we have Chambers and Booker. Can't you just feel the fear in the 31 defensive coordinators heart in the NFL.

For the past 3 years WAAnstadt was saying we had the best passing attack in the NFL. We had Chambers and Booker last year, where were we ranked.

We need another receiver, God forbids if Chambers or even Booker goes down, who do we turn to then. You ever heard of something called injury or injured? Do I have to say anymore?

When I was stationed over in sicily, a guy I worked with, and one of my good friends, was a huge bears fan. So I know what booker is capable of. He is a great WR, and we got a bargain for him in the trade IMO. That was one of the good trades wanny and spielman did. Its just we still tried to run on first, second, and third down again last year.

Booker will impress you this year

Maybe because Edwards is a number 1 receiver and Chambers and Booker aren't?

Putting Edwards on one side of the field and Chambers acrosss from him makes it a certainty that defense's can't double team both receivers...now all they have to do is double up on Chambers...and we have nothing....place Edwards in there and the safeties can't play up without one of them burning the defense....place the safeties back and that only helps the running game. Thats why Edwards.

NICELY PUT PETE :)

You are my new best friend. Also, what happens if Chambers gets hurt. Can anyone say Chris Carter.

PHINPHOURLIFE and finmann,

I'll forward your opinion to the NFL that a PRO BOWL WR isn't a #1.

:shakeno:

Jeez, some of you are so ignorant of what we have in Booker it is scary.

Not sure I believe that.
