There's a distinct difference between the two, namely that last year Chambers commented on Culpepper's spiral, and this year commented on how well Green fits in the offense. I'll take the second option.

Also, what were you expecting to see him say last year? "Golly, he throws a nice ball, but he can't read defenses. Plus I don't know about that knee...."

Chambers was significantly irked in 2005 when the team drafted Vernon Carey over JP Losman. Losman has proven to be much more valuable over time, I've heard that Chambers still holds a grudge.

Well looking at the 16 receptions out of the 39 passes thrown in his direction by Daunte in his 4 games... states that he only caught 41% of those beautiful thrown spirals...

Given the fact that he only caught 43 out of the last 112 (38%) passes thrown in his direction... apperantly that did not fit to well with the remarks
that Chambers stated in 2006 about Daunte...from the same article that NYjunc showed...

"It's a great opportunity for us all," Chambers said Thursday. "When you do have a quarterback of that caliber, it just makes the people around him a lot better. I can see why Minnesota was very successful with their receivers and the tight ends and running backs, because of that guy."

I loved the spiral that hit him in the facemask, in the endzone against Pitt on opening night, guess it hit him in a bad spot..........

CC is going to have many more good comments about TG because he (CC) is back in the slot, where he is best at.
TG has a good, quick release and DOES read defenses better than anyone we've had since 'you know who'.
Hard to believe, but it appears that we are deep at WR. CC will want to be the leader of that group. He will step up.
I hope.

That draft was 2004. And I highly doubt Chambers holds a grudge, look how bad Losman has been, why would he care for a lousy QB?

Your entire presence at FH is a tribute to JP Losman and you don't even know when he was drafted.

Yawn, it was a mistype. Losman beat Chambers' team twice last season, Chambers' also understands that JP is the elite of the elite. He has plenty of reason to hold a grudge.

Losman and Chambers went head to head a lot in those 2 games huh? Comparing those 2 is just ridiculous, I can't begin to comment on that.

Elite of the elite? I think you mean elite of the worst. Yeah I'll give JP that legend, he's the best of the 8 worst QBs in the league.

Oh yeah, that's funny. Fiedler was average in talent but he played with as much heart as about anyone who ever wore a Fin uniform. Why do you insist on knocking him

Problem
Heart with not much talent= let the defense carry you
and with our famous vanilla defense he had at the time- it wasnt hard for a team to pick us apart in the last 5 minutes of a game

Fiedler would have been a pro bowler if

he had started on a team with a rock-solid #1 defense that did not fold in the last five minutes.

he was on a team with a STRONG running back that never tried to thow it deep- or any 20 yard outs

if he thew a lot to his backs and tight ends.

He would have had be on a team with ALL of the above for him to flourish...Problem is there is not a lot of teams (none) built like i described.

Dude, you're so confused. My post/thread didn't even mention Culpepper. Go find another thread to complain about your hero.

I didn't mean it that way but I can see how it came across that way. I really liked Fiedler and respect what he gave to the organization. I added the laugh b/c he said he had his best years with Fiedler and then called him average and I found that kind of odd/funny. I am going to edit the "ha ha" out so that doesn't come across as a knock on Fiedler cause he was a class guy.

GO PHINS~!
