My main argument is Smoot over Rogers. Springs was one of the best CB's I've seen in years. He has a ton of talent, but he's getting older and more fragile, I'm ok with Springs starting the season #1, he's earned it, btu what happens when he goes down? Smoot is a viable #1 CB. He did well in Minnesota, not great, but well, but he was also the only real option they had.
I guess I am the only guy that remembers Rogers going down in flames last year.
