I wish Rogers was half as good as Champ.

As I've said on a number of occasions, when it comes to comparing players I rely on stats, rather than anecdotal or emotional evaluations. Probably due to playing too much FF. That said, I also (thought?) I said that Carlos was having a pretty bad year, and you would expect a decent NFL CB to have a decent number of INT's. We've seen Carlos have at least 2 or 3 sure picks he dropped this year, sometimes you just get into a mental rut and bad things happen repeatedly. If he makes those plays, I think we have a much different opinion of the guy. Ed Reed gets beat a lot in coverage, but when he makes the big play all is forgiven.
And I certainly wasn't trying to say Carlos is as good as Champ, just pointing out that he IS talented, just playing really poorly this year. But who on the defense isn't?
