    Pretty safe prediction but still nice to hear. For Parker it is just a question of him getting serious about football now being his job. He can bounce around the league for 8 or 10 years and make a few million dollars, or he can commit to training and eating a certain way and make that much in the first year or 2 of his next contract. When Gase called him out I was very happy because, regardless of how Parker responds, it marked the end of the era of coaches coddling players that has gone on here for too long.

    Good Lord, if Parker manages to break out into a game-wreaking WR (like we saw in the 4th quarter against the Rams), our offense will be damn near unstoppable.

    Collectively, this team has so much potential for this season and beyond. I'm already pumped.

    Love Parker. Wanted him to be our first round pick as soon as the college season ended.

    But where does this Spiderman nickname come from? New to me.

    I thought he was playing well at times and it depended on how well his hamstring was week to week, which he hurt in pre season. Then his back was bothering him, which is no fun. The question has never been ability but consistency and that stems from always having a physical issue going on, pretty much since he has been in the league. So if it isn't a safe prediction, I'll just say that I expect him to play very well too, if he is taking care of himself, but I have felt that way since I heard that taking care of himself was the reason he has been dinged up so often. I don't consider myself a great prediction guy, it just seems like a fairly obvious choice to me based on the given info. Like I said it is nice to hear, I just don't think it is mystifying if it comes true. Parker is teeming with talent and he even showed grit late last year gutting it out with a bad back when his team needed him. That's another good sign that he was taking things more seriously late in the year after being called out.

    Ugh bad mojo for that comparison. Chambers was the most blisteringly inconsistent receiver ever. And the drops he'd have were maddening! I can't begin to think how many walls I had to patch because CC.

    Meh. It's a fluff piece based on a few non contact drills in the crotch of the off season. I want to get excited too but let's wait a couple months. Let's hope a paper cut doesn't derail Parker's season.

    Chambers was damned by terrible qb play his whole career with Miami. Had we had someone of RTs calibre in those days, hed have been a 1300 yard, dozen td guy most seasons.

    Very true. He was also 30 years old before he played his first whole season in San Diego, and was injured that year, limited to only nine starts. He was also behind Gates, Tomlinson and Jackson, and maybe even Sproles, in the established pecking order. Its not like was expected to come in there and be their savior. Just basically another weapon.

    The following season, after much of the same, the Chargers traded him at the deadline to Kansas City, and despite being thrown into that situation, he managed to do great, catching 36 passes for 608 yards in nine games. Even though he was 31, only there half a season, catching passes from mediocre Matt Cassel, and on his third team in two years, he was easily their most effective player through the air.

    In his last season, at age 33 in KC, he was injured again, and the Chiefs had a number of new players on offense that they wanted to give bigger roles to. And that was it.

    I feel bad for him. He was a really good player who never once in his 10 year career was able to be in a stable, productive situation as a starter. One of those guys who I'll always wonder "what if", you know. Wrs are perhaps more dependant on their surroundings to flourish than any other position in football, and by extension, about as much as any position in all the major sports. Given the opprotunity, I see no real reason that Chambers couldn't have instead had the career of someone like Torry Holt, Roddy White, or Greg Jennings. He was just in the wrong spots at the wrong times.

    Chris Chambers was overrated.

    However, he did have one year here better than any Mike Wallace or Brandon Marshall had here.

    I missed the part where anyone compared them ! I didn't give Devante the nickname Chambers was known for.....
    Can't say I'm surprised you took time to show some hate for a former player.... Whom was the best we had for a while. I always thought he was a nice player that was above average for a few years.... The "overrated" talk is just kind of cluelessness because no one ever thought anything of Chambers and most fans just hated the whole offense at that point.

    That Denver game was a classic, and it's true cc would hesitate to attack the ball in traffic afterwards. The tallest, longest 5'11 I've ever seen, with a ridiculous vert jump. Just all finess.

    I think the Parker hype is really unwarranted and I stand by my statement that I only hope he can produce like Chambers did under the right circumstances. 1300, 11 TDs....if you think that's bad mojo than you're on some ish.

    Parker is our best receiver, or at least he better be if we are going to be good. Id trade Landry now if we can get a late first or early second. He is great at his current value, but with him Stills and Parker signing him next year to a huge deal is not going to be a good move. Great players on value deals are the biggest thing to find, great players on huge deals are still great but less great, but good players on huge deals are the worst thing you can do obviously besides bad players on huge deals. The deal he is going to get next summer is not going to be worth it and, this team wont do it, but they would be prudent to get huge value for him now before he gets way to expensive next year.

    Rivers has put up big numbers often. Totally a 10 years after retirement HOF consideration. My point was that he spread the ball around pretty well. If Chambers hadn't been a sh## show he'd have caught a lot by accident. Whoever mentioned the divorce thing is also silly. Real players play on game day no matter what they are doing. Remember Favre when his Dad died? Chambers was inconsistent. He'd have been better off doing Visine ads.

    While I will agree it is a damn shame that Chambers didn't have someone better throwing him the ball, the above is completely correct.
    Chambers would make the most crazy difficult catches seem routine and would back that up by dropping the easiest ones that were right on the money. And that was what he did ALL THE TIME, not just sometime. It was like he had a serious focus problem and unless it demanded intense focus to make the catch he didn't focus at all.


    Come to think of it, he was probably better off with the hacks we had throwing the ball back then. If there had been more on target throws he probably would have barely made the roster.

    I agree. However I again point to my comment that if it were about QB skill he;d have come alive in San Diego. He didn't do anything special. He was a dud. I think on a other site I even broke down how much he was paid for each drop with was a silly amount of money. Some of the passes he dropped the freaking copy repairman could've caught while snorting blow off the secretary. They were insanely easy catches. Then he'd make some TY Hilton style jump into the stands or over the referee catch that there was no reason anyone should've made. Maddening I say maddening! I can feel my blood pressure rising just thinking about all of the EASY third downs we didn't convert because the ball just bounced off him or he didn't even turn around.

    Yeah we all hated the Offense because it was horrible. Was wishing for a product we could get behind. You've let the years that have passed color your memory. Sure, Chambers had that great rookie year came out of nowhere and impressed the world. He also was blazingly inconsistent. Like, you have to remember that right?

    Regarding Parker, I hope he does great. However, he's so far averaging 619 yds per year and 3.5 tds. I know he had a foot thing but at the end of the day, we spent a first round pick on him. The expectation is he needs to start getting 1000 yds minimum each year and should be getting at least a touchdown every other game right? I want more than that but I'd settle for that.

    No way. Trading away an ascending young player with a good personality for an aging player with a terrible personality is a bad move, no matter how you slice it.

    Did not say we would trade him. I said we would regret not trading him. If he is hurt again or disappoints, his trade value is done. Was highest a few weeks back

    And again, I strongly disagree. Keeping him is the right call. If he doesn't live up to his potential, then its unfortunate, but keeping him at a minimum the next two years while he's under contract and cheap to give him the chance to break out should be the only choice. Giving up on him would be criminal.

    If you go by the games where he got onto the field and was given the chance to play offense, he's only really played in 23 games so far in his career. In those games, his 16-game average is 57 catches, 861 yards, and 5 TDs. For a player splitting time at WR with a prolific guy in Landry, and a big play option in Stills, thats certainly not the kind of line people should scoff at for the introduction to a career.

    I have a feeling that Parker is really going to step up this season, and be a 70 catch, 1200 yard type of player, with good Red Zone skills, and that he's more going to live up to his billing. But even if he does not, giving him the chance to do so is paramount. Plenty of great players in Dolphins history haven't done a ton early on, and then broke out. McDuffie only had 56 catches for 685 yards and 3 TDs total in his first two seasons. Jason Taylor had 16.5 sacks total in his first three years. More recently, Charles Clay had 34 total catches his first two seasons, and Lamar Miller only had 959 rushing yards in his first two.

    Give the guys some time. Be patient and let them develop.

    I can only imagine the threads that would be started if we traded him, and he finally was healthy and lit the league up. It would be epic around here.

    I think everybody believes in Parker's big playmaking ability. I also think everybody believes he's injury prone. We just have to wait and see what happens.

    Also, I don't think you could get Sherman for Parker straight up. I'd take that in a heartbeat.
