What to do with Carlos Rogers????

[MTK]

I honestly don't see Rogers ever being a true shutdown #1 corner.

What bothers me about him is he continues to play the man and not the ball the majority of the time.

That being said he's still a pretty decent corner, I think in order to label someone a bust it has to be proven that he can't play in this league at all, and he's far from a bust in my opinion. Has he lived up to the expectations of a player taken #9 overall? Clearly he has not. But he's still a player with some good skills and room to grow. Perhaps he'll prove us all wrong in time.

This analysis is dead on.

He's good, but not great.

He has good plays, but his errors can hurt you.

Afer five years in the league, we will know who is right or wrong.

Agreed 100%..

He does have some of the WORST ball skills I've ever seen from a CB though.. Terrible hands and always seems a half step slow breaking on the ball..
