Carlos Rogers Done For The Year

[skinsnut]

does this mean Rodgers will have to be shifted to nickel permanantly?
From what you guys are saying...odds are he'll never be the same.

I predicted 7-9 and I'm stickin to it.
Thats right....just 3 more wins in the next 9 games.
The funny part is...thats a big improvement from last year and quite an achievement on a team decimated with injuries...springs, washington, smoot, rogers (major), jansen, thomas (major), kendell, portis, rabach, cartwright, moss, wade, heyer.

After such a devastating injury, if Rogers loses a step, he may never be more than a nickel. Philly had a great young CB in the early 90's name Ben Smith - after he blew out his knee, he was never the same player. Here's hoping that he makes a complete recovery - for all Rogers bashers out there, let's see how good our pass D is without him now.

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

Well they've called up Eubanks. The link I believe is probably on washingtonpost.com but I can't seem to access the site at the moment

I do believe I said something of the sort, more so I said he would probably, or could be worse than Brooks, but I have always thought Brooks was horrible I was a little peeved that we were even thinking of giving away draft picks to get Campbell at the time I said it, it's awfully tough to be worse than Brooks. The trade scenario was me basically venting on how stupid Gibbs had been with draft up until then.

Campbell has a long way to go to prove that statement wrong, although I really like the kid as a person he seems to have a good head on his shoulders, and seems very humble, he still needs to step up and take control of this team, and the way Gibbs approaches things that is a long ways off, I am rooting for him but I think it's 60/40 that he doesn't become a bonified, can win a super bowl, franchise QB, we will see, I hope I am wrong!

Knee surgery has come a long way since the early 90's. It used to be an ACL was a career death sentence. Nowadays it is almost always recoverable.

I sure wish I was wrong about those statements, hopefully I will be down the road, but I doubt it.

After reading your old posts, you couldn't be more wrong about Campbell IMO. Ramsey better than Campbell? Ramsey was a loser at every level (HS/College/Pro). Campbell won championships in HS and College, and shows excellent poise for a guy only 16 starts into his career. Campbell put us in position to win the Giants game late, he would have won the Green Bay game if his WRs could catch a pass, and Gibbs game plan was ridiculously conservative against Arizona. I don't think you can bash Campbell for his performance last week against perhaps the greatest team we've seen in years. I'm very optimistic that Campbell has both the talent and demeanor to become a franchise QB, especially after Gibbs fixes issues on the OL after the season.

I agree about your point with Gibbs that is why I said it will be a long time before we really know, and yes he's had bad luck with his WR dropping passes no doubt, but can we say the teams we have played other than NE are any good, the league is very mediocre we should be top 4 and we can't say that. HS, college, etc I don't put a lot of stock in great QB's have been losers in college and great college Qb couldn't get themselves drafted, he needs to perform on this level that's what counts, NE is great offensively and very good defensively, Campbell into his 3rd season has to show more than he did on Sunday against anyone inc. NE. Funny I don't remember Ramsey having that bad of a day ever, not that we need to rehash the Ramsey debate anymore.

Great post...absolutely agree.

I agree that Carlos may never be as fast, but honestly with modern medicine he won't be that bad off given adequate time to rest that leg.

So you still think JC is no better than Aaron Brooks?

You could at least admit you were wrong on Ramsey.

Hell, I can. I once thought he was going to be the future, now he's just another backup.

I already answered that question but I will again, Brooks IMO opinion was as bad as it gets, no starting QB's could be worse.

As far as Ramsey goes no need to apologize because Ramsey is better and was better for us than Brunell ever was, the fact that Gibbs and his senile approach to football couldn't see that only reinforces why he would stay with a QB in Brunell for 3 years who was as bad as it gets, funny 1/2 of Gibbs personnel moves have or are on there way to blowing up in his face and yet he was some how dead on about Ramsey, and even if Ramsey never starts again he was still better than anything we had at the time which was nothing in Brunell. Further more what has Campbell done [other than being anointed by Gibbs] to prove a thing? I know you have him crowned the next great QB, but I would rather wait until he actually does something, I am not saying he wont, I am saying he has to prove himself before I hang my hat on him unlike yourself. He faced a good defense against the Pats, GOOD, they are not the 85' Bears, and he was awful, I would say he has a way's to go. Now if you want to blame a lot of his performance on Gibbs and his inability to game plan? Fine I would go along with you on that one, barring that I saw a QB out there without a clue where to go with the football.

C'mon dude you said the pick was "utter incompetence" and that JC was "mediocre", "not 1st round material", and "This kid isn't McNabb, McNair, Culpepper, Leftwich, and here's the scary part I don't believe he's even Aaron Brooks" and last not not least "i will be right about this kid as his future unfolds, but don't worry we will trade him for a conditional 6th or 7th rd. pick in 3 year's".

Pretty strong statements there. Nice way of backing off your stance now.

So I guess Mangini was wrong on Ramsey too since he didn't think he was any better than Pennington or Clemens?

As far as Gibbs' hits vs. misses, if we laid them all out I'd be willing to bet that the number of good moves would easily outnumber the bad ones. There's no way it would be 50/50. The only glaring misses that come to mind are Lloyd, Arch, Patten, and Barrow. And with Patten and Barrow injuries came into play so an argument could be made that if they stayed healthy they were moves that could have worked out. If you can name more I'd love to hear them.

I haven't "crowned" JC anything yet, not sure where you are getting that. I think he's a promising young QB and I like the move a lot more today vs. when he was drafted. As far as what happened this past Sunday I wouldn't put too much stock in it. That was his 14th career start and Belichick's defense over the years has made many, many QB's with far more experience look bad. Hell, his 'D' has made Manning look bad at times so I'm not going to get too worked up over Campbell's struggles especially considering the whole team struggled.
