Rogers Ready to Move On

But I digress, I think the opinion of Hall is pretty mixed. However, if we must compare the fact is the one thing that Rogers simply doesn't do, the one thing that (in my opinion at least) keeps him from being the elite CB he wants to be paid as is that he doesn't catch the damn ball. And that is something Hall does do.

But I'd prefer to look at it regardless of Hall. Is Carlos Rogers' good enough and will he continue to be good enough to warrant a huge paycheck. In my opinion...no

I concur, but he's good enough to get an above avg. paycheck & I'd like to see him stay here w/one. Doesn't look like that will happen though.

He doesn't want above average, and that's his prerogative.

Inability to form a valid argument in their own favor.

Seriously, who can defend Carlos?

I second that. Prove your points logically with vetted facts. Or, just give your opinion and present it as such. Trashing another player, who has absolutely nothing to do with this thread.....and who LIKES being in the B&G.....is low class at best.

DeAngelo Hall and friend respond to Carlos Rogers - DC Sports Bog - The Washington Post

[firstdown]

Hall's coment to this was perfect. He might not be the best CB in the world but he has been a very stand up guy snse becoming a Skin.

Hall's Response

I was never focused on who was the #1 corner on our team. Just focused on tryna WIn Games! Hope all of my teammates feel the same way!....Definitely would trade all the personal rewards to bring a Championship back to DC and the Best Fans in the NFL!!...No player on our team or in the NFL for that matter can be successful w/ out the coaches and their teammates!

I thought it was a good response as well. I know from what SS has told us that Rogers has been in some money troubles, but he really didn't need to say all of what he said. I'm sure there will be a market for him after Nnamdi. A team like the Lions could use help at corner.

Great response...but maybe he has a bit of a short-term memory

...and that following week, he got smoked by a rookie QB and some scrub receivers from St. Louis. /facepalm

Just like the whole team.

I don't get this obsession with b*tching about just one player.

Yup, he needs to follow his own (recent) advice next season.

Well, it basically was ONE player, who the week prior, is basically telling the coaches that you ****ed up by not putting me on the top WR, and pretty much throwing his teammates (reed/buchanon) under the bus. I expect that guy to come out and back up the talk that he's top notch, not get his ass roasted by sub-par Ram receivers and a rookie QB. 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.

You'll always hear me say I pay little to no attention to what some guys say, I do however pay strict attention to what they do.

I vividly recall the incident your link references and it doesn't stop there.

Double talk. Like I needed another reason to hate Cornerbakcs Safties FTW!

Rogers is probably not this loud if Hall isn't getting paid like a top 5 corner. If we can all agree that both corners have serious flaws and are comparable (in terms of impact from the CB position), then it's logical as to why Rogers feels disrespected.

The problem for Rogers is that contracts are now offered by a different entity, but yet his perception will always be "Skins vs. me."

I can see that...but there's also the matter of Rogers wanting this contract at 30 years old and Hall getting his at 25 (or thereabouts).

Totally baseless prediction. He signs with the Browns
