Chris Chambers to the Chargers

[GMScud]

Chambers has shown flashes, but to me he's the dreaded "P" word- potential. Tons of it with not a ton of production. But he's never had much of a QB, and as SS pointed out, he's worked with Norv before and I believe had his best season under him. He could be a good fit with SD. Line him up alongside Vincent Jackson, throw in Gates and you've got some big weapons...

So you don't consider TWO 11 TD seasons solid production? When was the last time we had a receiver with as many as 11 TDs?

Didn't say he wasn't ever successful, but he's been VERY up and down in terms of production.

Well, that's true, he has been up and down, but I doubt any WR would be very consistant with the massive amount of QB's he's had...not to mention, all of them are sub par. Here is a list of his QB's since he came into the league in 2001.

*- NOTE games are based on time they have appeared in a game (at least 1 attempt) and based off football reference stats.

07- Trent Green (5 games)
06-07- Cleo Lemon (4 games 06, 2 in 07)
06- Dante Culpepper (4 games)
06- Joey Harrington (11 games)
05- Gus Frerotte (16 games)
02-05- Sage Rosenfels (4 games in 05, 3 in 04, 2 in 03, 4 in 02)
04- A.J. Feeley (11 games)
01-04- Jay Fiedler (8 games in 04, 12 in 03, 11 in 02, 16 in 01)
03- Brian Griese (5 games)
02- Ray Lucas (7 games in 02, 7 games in 01)

That's 10 different QB's in a little over 6 seasons. Only 2 times did he start with a QB and end with the same QB, and that was 2001 (his rookie year) with Fiedler (883 yards and 7 tds). The other was with Frerotte in 05 and he had a career high 82 catches, 1118 yards, and 11 tds.
It would be amazingly hard to put up consistant numbers with a revolving door at QB and even worse, all pretty sub par QB's. Rivers is instantly the best QB he will get to work with.
