Rogers will start and be our #1 by the end of the year. Mark it down.
With the way that he has playted over the last 2 seasons, that scares the living crap out of me. No way he is a number 1 corner right now. I actually think that right now he is falling out of contention of being a number 2 cornerback

The guy is just coming into his 3rd year. Will he ever be a shut-down corner? probably not. Does that mean he cant be a good quality number 1 corner? No.
Give the guy some time to develop.
With that said, this is the year. By the end of the year he is as good as he is gonna be. (3 years in the same system right out of college is not something a lot of players get to experience in this league).
I just don't see Rogers developing into a true #1 corner, but I'd love to be wrong on this. I'd be happy if he could just be a quality #2 at this point.

I'm wouldn't be so quick to doubt him. He's close to #1 material.

Based on what?
He hasn't shown very much to date to think that he's going to suddenly become a shutdown corner.

The one positive light that Rogers has shown is getting his hands on the ball more than a lot of CB's we've had. Unfortunately, his hands are like bricks. If he can soften 'em up a little bit and create the turnover, then we'll have a very good (not great) #1 CB in him.

Based on his speed, power, and tackling ability being second to none. He was rarely beaten or thrown at last year. They picked on the other side and safeties. The only element which is a large one is his field and ball awareness at times. With so much uncertainty last year on defense noone had a stellar year. Look for Rogers to be our # 1 this year.

Actually TMC and Daseal said it first. We'll defend Rogers to the death! :D

I guess we're watching a different player. Based on his first 2 seasons in the league his performance leaves a lot to be desired if you ask me.
