For the record, I don't blame him solely for that loss because everybody was pretty much shitty in that game.

Hall is just another guy we need to move on from. He's part of the old Vinny regime that needs to go. Flashy FA guys that can't back up what they are being paid or what they are saying. I understand we can't at this time, but his time is coming.

I hope SirClintonPortis is right about our additions to the DL helping out D. Hall's game. I'm just glad Rogers is heading out the door. I think him quitting on the team to save himself (after he was cleared) for a contract totally turned me off on this guy. I just get a bit annoyed with so many people roasting the guy for dropping INTs and patting D. Hall. At least be consistent.

I would rather, at this point, move on from both Hall and Rogers than try to pick which one is more "deserving" of top money. Hall is starting to get towards the expensive years in his contract, the ones that he'll never be able to back up in his play.

On the other hand, you could give Rogers top ten money and get a bargain for a couple of years, but you'd either have a lot of deadcap in 2013 or 2014 (right when any rebuilding project would be starting to pay dividends), or you'd have a corner making top money who no longer has the ability to run with no. 1 wideouts like Hakeem Nicks, Jeremy Maclin, and Dez Bryant. I think Rogers is going to be one of the best free agent signings of the offseason for some contender, but I don't think it makes a lot of sense to pay him now. Vinny should have extended him at age 27 and not paid Hall so much money. We wouldn't have had a bottom third defense last year if he did that.

I'd like to see Barnes at one corner next year and Buchanon back on a one/two year deal as the second corner.
