Hey Clones85', I'll lay off giving you a hard time since this will be the Vikes last shot at a title for awhile.
The more that I look at this trade, the more I like it.
According to the Dolphins site, Camarillo last year had the most receptions without a drop in the NFL last season.
He is also going into his 2nd year following ACL surgery. The 1st year is often a work in progress as evidenced by his slow start last year. By the end of the year, he was getting back to his '08 production before before the injury ended his season. He should project to around 5+ catches per game and 11+ ypc. Over the season this comes out to 80 catches and 880 yds - not bad for a 3rd WR.
I'll be satisfied if he continues to earn the description of being a "poor man's Wes Walker". Walker plays for more of a passing team, but he still averages around the same 11 ypc.

Yet... STILL managed to throw for 4,400 yards and 30 TD's.
You think as a Vikings fan, you might want to worry about them fixing the line problems?
That was last year, and Rodgers still had the same # of TD's and Int's that Favre did
What are you idiots arguing about anyway? The guy you bring in 2 weeks before the first game is NEVER as good as the guy you lost to injury. But you need the depth, so you get a guy who can help on the field. This is not a big deal, definitely not worth arguing stats over (rofl).
Really????? If not for your Packer brethren using previous years' stats to discount Camarillo, you might have a point...
I REALLY don't want to defend the Packers and their fans, but 50 of the sacks the Packers offense gave up last year 37 were in the first games, 13 in the last 8 games.
Sure but Camarillo has only played one more year than Sidney. So it's pretty much the same there too.
Do people seriously not remember Camarillo? 2 years ago he was tearing it up for the Dolphins. He was on his way to catching over 80 passes for the year when he tore his ACL. Last year was his first year back. He had a 1st year QB in an offense that ran the ball all game. Not going to put up huge #'s.
He will be a fine #3 WR while Rice is out
I never discounted Camarillo, so don't throw me in with the uninformed masses, and it's not last year, The Packers didn't have Tauscher to start the year, plus now they've got Bulaga, and the line got better as the year went on, that, even a Bears fan knows.
A) We got another wide out.... that's good. B) We got rid of Benny, the hawk/panther/nobody Sapp. That's OUTSTANDING!
I assume you're talking about me since I was posting Camarillo's stats from previous seasons. You may want to take a second look at who I am a fan of.
Calling me part of the Packer brethren...just made me hate the Vikings even more.
You must have never been to the Dome... to call the Packer's fanbase uninformed about football.
Easily the most fair weather fan base in the league.
