Chris Chambers released by Chargers

How long has JC been playing for the skins and how long can we keep making excuses for him. Every new year comes new excuses.

I think the comment was more of an attack on our WRs coach than a defense of Campbell.

How long has JC been playing for the skins and how long can we keep making excuses for him. Every new year comes new excuses.Newsflash: Not winning because of the quarterback is also an excuse.

Really good teams can win in spite of poor quarterback play. The Redskins weren't winning even back when Campbell was playing well every week.

You so sure about that? Our young receivers haven't exactly been the model of professionalism since arriving. Kelly and Thomas report to their first camp out of shape. Davis and Thomas couldn't get on the field because they didn't earn coaches trust that they knew the playbook. Then when they've had chances to make plays, they've rarely come through. The slow progression of our young recievers is more on them than JC in my opinion.

Well Brandon Marshall wore out mcdaniels this offseason and he's doing just fine.. We took the top rated recievers in the 08 draft.. So I'm waiting one more yr with a decent qb to judge them.

Yea by Vinny standards :doh:

Just because they were "top-rated" in the 2008 draft, does not mean that they are "top rated". They were just the best available in what most would consider a very "weak" draft for WR's.

Not saying either are a bust, but I do agree that one more year would help. Also a revamp of the offensive line would help. Kinda hard to evaluate these guys when the QB that is throwing the ball to them is running for his life.

Kinda like when Randy Moss was in Oakland and that O-Line. Moss was getting downfield, but by the time he got there the QB was already on his back.

Chambers was picked up by the Chiefs

His best season was his rookie year. He had some other 1,000 yard 8-10 TD years (year?), but those were years where he was seeing 60% of the offense thrown his way, frankly, anyone could have done that.

I think he could get open a lot better than our current WR corps, but what's the point if he's just going to Lloyd the football.

"Lloyd" used as an appropriate verb. Nice.

Why do we obsess over every bum that hits the waiver wires? Oh never mind.

And this is why I say Snyder has to stop thinking like he's still a fan and has to generally ignore the knee-jerk wishes of most fans. Do what's best for the team, and that's not always what the fans clamor for.

Chiefs have reportedly claimed him

At this point we should be playing the young WR's we have as much as possible to see if any of them can be counted on next year not picking up washed up veterans. Even if Chambers was a small upgrade it's still counter productive.
