If they offer Deangelo anything...it should be a 1 year deal to prove himself...I just dont trust him yet.

The real issue is where we choose to spend our money....at corner?....cmon...
Everyone says we need a major line overhaul...and I tend to agree.
Even Smoot could cover if we had a passrush and an offensive line that could keep the defense off the field...or better yet....a heavy lead.

Maybe I am wrong..maybe they are trying to secure Hall first so they can offer Carlos the same or $1 more to make up with him....but all I know is this.
Losing Carlos Rodgers would be like losing Antonio Pierce.

Wow, that's as big of an overstatement as I've seen in a long time. Rogers isn't a top 20 CB in the NFL. He had a decent half of a season and all of the sudden he's one of the greats in the game? He's got the WORST hands of any CB I've ever seen. He's decent in coverage but at best he's an excellent #2 CB, he's not in the class with the elite #1 CB in the league. Hall is a major upgrade from Rogers.

How is Rogers not a Top 20 CB in the NFL? Which 20 guys would you put ahead of him?

Bad hands, bad hands, bad hands...he plays defense. Who cares? Hands are an added incentive -- added value -- not a job requirement.

Hall is not a top 40 CB in the NFL, but whatever. You crap on Rogers for a "decent half season" (it's now one and a half seasons with a MAJOR knee injury in between), but Hall has a nice half season here and you want to put him in the Hall of Fame.

I have no idea what your criteria for a good CB is. Thusly, I could not disagree more with your assessment.
