I've always liked the guy a lot, even when he did have his disappointing seasons here, which he did, though I'll admit I could've gone either way on us picking him up again or not.  I would've liked to see him in a 'Phins uniform again, for sure, but I think we need to keep developing what we've got at the same time. 

That being said, I still like him a lot and hope he continues to do well in KC.  I was sad to see him kinda peter out in San Diego and will always pull for him unless he ends up on one of the other divisional (AFC East) teams.

No doubt...opportunity is definitely a huge part of the stat equation. He was having a hard time sniffing the field in SD, and with Bowe gone, it's either throw it to Chambers or throw it to the beer vendor in section 106.  The receiver (TE actually) that I think will shape up to be pretty solid in KC is Sean Ryan. Such great hands in traffic...he's just screaming to become a quality redzone target.

Chambers performed poorly in San Diego in 2007, 2008 and 2009. Do they have a talentless quarterback?

Chambers rarely catches even 50% of the passes thrown his way (41% this year -- 52% in his most recent "good" year, 2008). That compares to "good" receivers who are consistently north of 60%. Try comparing that to a quarterback. There's a HUGE difference between completing 50% and 60% of your passes. Or 70%.

For every spectacular catch he makes, he runs a poor route or messes up the timing with his quarterback. He's done this with EVERY SINGLE QUARTERBACK he's had in the NFL. At some point, you've gotta conclude that Chambers is the problem.

Sure, Chambers had some good years in Miami, but his best years were his early years. 2001 and 2003 were his best, IMHO.

We traded him for Chad Henne.  I'm OK with the trade. 

However, I do agree that he looks better now, but maybe its because he's on a talent-less team.  Medium-sized fish in a tiny pond.
