He drops to many catchable passes. He'll make the spectacular catch in the back of the endzone, then drop a 5 yard curl route for a 1st down with no one near him. He's also very weak at becoming the defender on poor passes. He doesn't fiight for the ball when the defender makes a play on the pass. Steve Smith is small, but when the ball is in the air it's his and his alone, Chambers doesn't have that mentality.
I want Chris to be the best in the league, but he's not and 90% of the reason he's not, is him, not the QB or coaching. Of the 5 seasons he's been a pro he's only played really well one season and that was 05 and that was only the second half of the 05 season. Miami was 3-7 in 05 before they went on their 6 game winning streak and it was that 6 games Chris made the probowl run, if Chris could play at that level all the time he would be considered on the same level as Marvin Harrison. But as it stands Chris can't even get the respect in his own division, much less the league.
I wouldn't be the least bit upset if Chambers were traded, not that I don't like him or want him on the team, but I feel he's had more then enough time to become what he thinks he is. To listen to him talk he always talks about his potential, well 5 years in the league is more then enough time to show your potential.
Some will say if Chris leaves Miami and goes to say, Indy and Peyton Manning is throwing him the ball then Chris will finally be what he should have been all along. I disagree, I think Chris would be the same, he will be just avg. He will make spectacular catches and continue to drop easy passes and continue to be poor against turning defender. It's just who he is. You don't start catching easy passes like magic just because Peyton Manning is throwing you the ball and not Joey Harrington. By easy passes I mean passes that are chest high with good vilocity, not a 90 mile an hour fastball, or one that's on your shoe string. Chris is responsible for catching the ball no one else, not the coaches or the QB's or the schemes. He's paid millions of dollars a year to do so, if that alone isn't enough incentive to make you want to catch everything that's thrown your way then nothing will. I love the Dolphins and everyone on the team but, the reality is Chris has yet to live up to his potential, that's just how I see it.
