Chris Chambers As a #2?

Absolutely. However the cap room is likely not there and I doubt Fox would add another playmaker to the team at this stage of the season with Moose potentially coming back next week. He would instantly be the 2nd best option at wideout for the team if we did pick him up though.

Also, blackpanther hit the nail on the head. Until we can get a QB he wouldn't be much help to us anyway.

No. He's 31 years old and he's played horrifically bad this season. Looks like his best years are behind him.

Obvious FA choices are Brandon Marshall or Vincent Jackson but both seem unlikely to hit the open market and even if they do the price tag would be huge.

I'd rather see us go after Steve Breaston or Lance Moore. Possibly Kevin Walter or Domenik Hixon depending on how they do the remaining of the year.

He was invisible this year in San Diego. He ended up no better than the #4 on that team and they don't exactly have a great WR core.

Sounds like Steve Smith excluding yesterday, so we should of cut him?

Really? Your actually going to compare Steve struggling to Chambers? Like Steve's struggles had nothing to do with having a bottom 5 starting QB throwing him the ball, while Chambers has a top 10 throwing him the ball? Steve is still the #1 on this team and Chambers had been demoted to the #3 or 4 on his team. It's not even a comparison.

    • It is a tough decision.  There is another factor.  Is he in game shape?  A tired Hunt is not better than an "in-shape" Corbett.  When coming off an injury, it is natural to want to protect the injured area, even if it is completely healed.  This can cause you to contort your body for no reason, lose fundamentals, and it could lead to other injuries.  For example, I had a knee in high school that required getting taped.  That made me aware of the knee (not used to tape on my knee) and I pulled my groin (favoring or dragging the leg with the tape).  The trainer explained the groin injury the way I do here--but scared money makes no money.  If he is cleared to play, he is cleared to play.  Watch him, rotate him in for a series, etc.  Specifically, I would want to watch the matchup--who is winning more--Corbett or Hunt?  How is the defense reacting (if at all) to Hunt being in?  Etc.  
    • Shannon was sued for $50 million (settled out of court, I believe) for forcing sex on his girlfriend during a two-year relationship.  He denies it, but ESPN let him go last April.  Chad Johnson's wife filed a police report because he head-butted her in a car and was put on probation. I had to google it.  I watched the Ray Rice video and when you see it, you realize just how vile and cowardly abusing a woman really is.  But for the same point Aussie tried to make, these women are defenseless, and being phyiscally bigger and stronger does not validate your actions.   I can't even stand to watch Steve Smith.  I can't normalize this kind of behavior--again, I do not think R-P had that in mind when he posted this.  When the reason was exposed, we should realize that we are talking life (quality of) and death (in some cases) here.  
    • I can respect the fact that we should not glorify or normalize men who have a history of beating women.  I do not think anyone was thinking of that when they posted this, but if head-butting your wife and unconsensual sex (rape) is something you cannot overlook, I agree with that.  I think they are both half-crazed attention hounds regardless of their pasts.
