Carlos Rogers Done For The Year

Okay, I can stomach people saying they'd like to see Betts start, but you are not actually anxious to see Leigh Torrence start? I realize the grass is always greener, especially with impatient Redskins fans, but come on.

I don't think that's how that was intended to come across. I read it as, "well, we better hope Torrance can play"

I really don't see Rodgers as a bust. He's hurt but he has been playing very well. He'll be back next year mid way and we will need him.

were still fine at CB position, now find some quality OL for his roster spot

I guess we have to define 'bust' in order to properly label Rogers. To me a bust is a guy that can't play in this league at all.

Rogers is not in that category. The guy can play.

Has he lived up to the expectations of a #9 overall selection?

No.

But he does have talent and he is still improving, maybe not as quickly as we'd like to see but he was quietly having a good year.

Agreed. I was a Rogers-hater until this year. It's a shame.

If only Gibbs would spend time on the warpath and start reading my threads Merriman would be a Skin. Unfortunately it looks like Rogers is going to go down as a top 10 bust at this point, he wasnt that good up until now I doubt he will be much once he gets done with what sounds like a very ugly knee surgery.

Didn't you also say that Campbell was going to be worse than Aaron Brooks and would be traded by 2008 for a conditional 7th rounder? Sorry, but your post made me go and bust balls.

yeah, rogers was having his best year in my opinion, his coveage skills have vastly improved from years past and he has always been a decent to good tackler . . . hope you have a healthy recovery 'los!

isnt next year rogers' contract year . . . go skins!

MCL and ACL? That knee will never be the same. Hopefully he recovers 100% and is able to have a serviceable career.

We could call up Eubanks or Westbrook, but is there anyone out on the waiver wire?

Bubba Tyer seems to think Rogers will be "ready to go" next year.

The severity of the damage will determine his recovery. If the ligaments were completely torn, he would be in trouble. Sounds like that's not the case though.

Bad news. Good luck to Carlos.

One more thing:
People, just stop with all the fucking Merriman talk. It gets old. How many times can you say, "I told you so." Does it really make you feel that much better?

So what? You might have made one good prediction. Whoopie! Get over yourselves already.
