    I know Chambers isn't a fin anymore but I know people here are still fans of him

    I like the list because it is written by a guy who has covered all of them..Not some guy who sits behind a desk and rattles off the biggest names

    6th really?

    No specific order...

    Harrison, Holt, Owens, Moss, Wayne, Smith, Fitzgerald, Boldin ......

    Then again, he did cover them lol.

    That's nice to see. I only wish he would have had some better QB play when he was here. Hopefully this will help to disprove that he isn't a #1 WR.

    I hope that Chambers has a pro bowl season this year. I was a fan of his and wish him the best. Unfortunately it probably was time for him to go. We needed the draft pick and he would have been too old when we are ready to contend.

    I dunno about that one. He was too inconsistent. He dropped easy passes but made some of the greatest catches Ive ever seen in a Fin uni. I have his jersey I'll sport it Sunday along with my Ronnie Brown jersey.

    I'm a big Chambers fan (thus the 84 in my name) but I'm not buying that he's 6th. Just from the list Clements gave I'd put him below Andre Johnson. I'd probably throw Boldin and Fitz above him also. Closer to 10 seems more accurate to me. Nice to see him getting some respect from his colleagues though.

    well, in CC's favor is that he has a legitimate chance of playing in the big dance, something he would not get here.

    over there
    I think he rated Chambers soooo high was the fact he played him twice a year.
    Chambers(when not dropping the easy ones) had a few good games against him also.

    The reason Chris Chambers is so enthusing as a WR is because he has the ability to make Top 10 type catches, but he is way inconsistent with dropping passes and running routes incorrectly. If he did get more consistent such as he did in the pro bowl year he can certainly do that but right now, no way he is #6 WR in the league.

    i never wouldve thought of him as even a top 15. He just dropped too many easy balls and that always drove me nuts, but i guess if a man who covers most WRs says hes number 6, i have to go with him

    If Clements means Chambers is the 6th best talented WR in the NFL - I might agree with that assessment.

    Was I the only one to see Hines Ward so high on that list? Great receiver no doubt, but ahead of T.O.?

    TO did a lot this year to rebuild his rep as a top NFL WR, but I still need to see another year like 2007 from TO before I put him ahead one of the best and hardest working WR's in the league. Not to mention most underrated.

    I agree with poster above me. Hines is very underrated and despite not having many seasons over 1000 yards (if any), he makes a huge impact on that team.

    I'd be interested to see a breakdown of these WRs as they matched up against Clements (ie games, yards, TDs, etc.) I'm sure that individual performances against him specifically probably influenced his picks somewhat. If I remember, Chambers had some huge games against him, so it would make sense for him to rate him so high. Really, if we wanted something more accurate, we'd have to poll the starting CBs in the league and see who came out on top.

    I think he meant which WRs came out on top, not CB. I'd rather have Nnamdi Asomugha btw :yes:

    Ooo lol thanks for clearing that up. Why Asomougha though? Is it cause of his age?

    I kinda feel bad for CC. The prime of his career was seemingly wasted with the bums we've had playing QB. Maybe he had his inconsistencies, although it would've been nice to see what could've been.
    Hopefully his potential is realized in SD.

    Younger, and also a shut down corner. His INT's were down from 8 the year before to just 1, which sounds like he had a down year until you dig deeper.

    From PFW:
    http://www.profootballweekly.com/PFW/The+Way+We+Hear+It/Whispers/2007/whispers120807.htm

    According to wiki, I know not the most accurate of sources, but he was only thrown at 31 times the whole year, with 10 completions. That is mind-numbing, no matter if it's off be a few here or there.

    Great post, thanks. I like Asoughma but Champ is my second favorite corner and I still think he is on top. There was a stat made when Champ had like six or eight picks a couple years ago and he was thrown to only 36 that year.

    It shows how good these corners are playing despite some of these dumb rules that they have made.

    Chambers was good but inconsistent. If we had a top echelon WR at No1 to partner Chambers would have put up alot more 100yd games. To me he wasnt quite the No1 we all expected him to be. Having average to below average QB's certainly hurt Chris. How he does now with Rivers will be interesting to watch.
