Yes indeed.

It appears Mecca is holding down that job right now. :p (I kid, I kid..)

I think it says a lot when Mike Martz decides that Mike Furrey > Charles Rogers........

You got it. The man was an idiot as an HC, but is a decent offensive coordinator.

Rogers = The Ryan Sims of offense.

Alright you'd rather have Chris Hannon than Charles Rogers......I'll mark that down.

No, I've actually seen Ryan Sims make a play or two since college.

Ohhhh....I'm on "the list!" <cue ominous NFL films music>

No, I'd rather have Andre Johnson. But that isn't going to happen. Hence, I'll take what we've got over Charles "don't bogart me" Rogers.

Yeah, so what?

You honestly think that Mike Freaking Martz is going to keep a "lesser" talent around just because he played for him before?

Martz wants the best 6 WR PERIOD.

Rogers wasn't one of them.....

Eddie Drummond, Shaun Bodiford > Charles Rogers

we are talking about taking a flyer on a potiential guy for a minimum salary by cutting nate "freakin" curry, go godsake.

little/no risk with a chance for good reward.

:shrug: WTF is anyone against it?

I've been wondering that myself.........sometimes I wonder what the hell people around here are thinking. My god if you want Rogers you obviously must think he can start for the team! I still think a bunch of people didn't notice how horrible these WR's were in preseason.

Hopefully Titus won't pull up the thread from a couple years ago where I mentioned that maybe the Chiefs should trade LJ for Rogers.

But in my defense, LJ was rotting on the bench at the time, had gotten arrested for the 2nd time for domestic assault, and Johnny Morton was our 2nd WR.

Adept Havelock 09-02-2006 02:07 PM

We are talking about taking a flyer on a guy who has shown nothing but "potential", a penchant for injury and character/substance abuse issues for a minimum salary by cutting nate "freakin" curry or Webb, for godsake.

little/no risk with a little/no chance for good reward.

:shrug: WTF is anyone for it?

"Change for the sake of change"?

IMO, if Mike Martz thought there was an OUNCE of potential left in Rogers, he would have kept him on the roster.

Instead, he kept Mike Furrey, Eddie Drummond and Shaun Bodiford.


:hmmm:

Check it out.......Dick Vermiel posts on the board "We're going with our guys that have been here and know the system, obviously Chris Hannon is better than Charles Rogers."

Listen, if he can find his way from KCI to Arrowhead on his own, I guess I wouldn't complain if they gave him a contract. But from everything I'm hearing, the guy simply cannot grasp what his job is at this level, and it doesn't seem very important to him on top of that. It's pretty far from an exciting prospect, as far as I'm concerned. I have no idea whether or not Jeff Webb can play, but I'm already pretty convinced that Charles Rogers can't.

Money....for what they were paying him Rogers probably should be cut. Also Drummond really isn't a factor he's on the team cause hes the return man.

Why not? If he comes here and sucks cut him and move on like it never happened. If he can get his head on straight he is a good athlete and can help us at a position we aren't very deep at. I guarantee you Trent isn't going to take any shit from him in the huddle and that Herm, Carl, and Lamar will back him up on it. I guess it doesn't matter anyway since we aren't going to bring him in.
