R.W. McQuarters

It just might happen:

It doesn't look like it will take cornerback R.W. McQuarters long to find work, either. McQuarters, also released by the Bears this week, is expected to visit the Washington Redskins, who already have Shawn Springs, first-round pick Carlos Rogers and ex-Bear Walt Harris at cornerback. He also could fill punt-returning duties as the Redskins are going to cut ties with Chad Morton and might not want to use wide receiver Santana Moss in that role.

The Miami Dolphins also are believed to have interest in McQuarters.

I told you all that we would be interested. This guy has a lot of talent and just returning kicks. He is avery good cover corner. I mean he could play safety like he did in Chicago or play the corner. You can never have enough cover corners on one team. I hope we can get him without spending too much. Hey give him a incentive-contract where we can get the very best from him.

i think we have enough good corners, but another one won't hurt. i wouldn't mind signing him if it was for like the league minimum.

Yeah. I just dont think we can count on Rogers to be a good corner this year. Some rookies take some time to develop, which is fine. I think when we have guys like Walt Harris, and possible RW McQuarters; we can be much more comfortable at the corner position. I'd like to think Carlos Rogers will be a good cornerback next season, but I dont know that he will be. As long as this move didnt involve too much money, I wouldnt mind brining him aboard.

This is why we should have taken Mike Williams in the draft! Instead of an unknown talent in Rogers, we could have gotten our receiver AND a proven talent in McQuarters........................................

An unknown talent? Carlos was a 4yr starter at AU! He has size and speed. I read somewhere a statistic that less than 30% of passes were completed against Rogers in all 4yrs. He`s a physical tackler, he`s a clutch player... He`s not unknown to alot of people in the NFL that`s why he was rated so high on so many teams boards. I know... The draft is a crap shoot yadda, yadda but don`t tell me the Skins didnt know what they were gettin in Carlos.

Proven talent? R.W. McQuarters? This dude aint no ace in the hole at 30yrs old man... He has a whopping 10 INT`s and broke the 50tkl mark only twice in his entire 8yr career. I don`t see it?

Yeah. I just dont think we can count on Rogers to be a good corner this year.

Wow... I couldnt disagree with that statement any more.

Rogers will be a starter this year. Flat out. Mark my words, Carlos will destroy Harris in a head to head compitition for that job. If it`s not announced during camp then SHORTLY into the regular season. Oh, and the next 6 to 10 yrs after that too.

Hey, it makes more sense than the Jetskins....we'd be the Bearskins! Daniels, Holdman, and McQuarters - if we could only get the Fridge and Payton.

Wow... I couldnt disagree with that statement any more.

The next 6 to 10 years, I agree 100%. I'm not saying that he wont be good, or I'm not trying to say he sucks or anything. I watched Auburn alot last year, but dont know a WHOLE ton about the guy. I'm just saying that we cant put be 100% flat out positve that Rogers, a rookie is going to come in and be able to start on an NFL team from day one. That's why I dont mind if we bring some back up to the team, so that he dosent have as much pressure and can easy in a little bit. Nothing against the guy.

i think we have enough good corners, but another one won't hurt. i wouldn't mind signing him if it was for like the league minimum.


We are NOT going to get him for the league minimum...........he is a player! and will demand a little bit of coin, which we might have when we release these players after June 1st (even though we need to sign our rookies etc.......). McQuarters would be a starter right away on the defense! And whoever said you can't have enough cover corners is RIGHT ALL THE WAY!

We all sat and watched as Sean Taylor demonstrated last pre-season that he was one of the best pure defensive talents to come into the league in years. He did everything asked of him and made serious plays, albeit against second stringers but he looked like a man among boys there. And what happened? He didn't even get to start right away! Carlos Rogers will need to have like 5 or 6 interceptions and no completions against him to even be considered to start early. He may start by the end of the year but I wouldn't expect to seem him as anything but our 3rd corner until weeks 4 or 5 at best.
