I'm not saying "Chris Hannon" or any of our PS guys are clearly better. I'm saying I don't see a bit of difference between them. Again, just because the guy was great in college doesn't mean squat in the big leagues. Very nice misrepresentation of my position...almost worthy of DC.

If the guy had a lick of talent at this level, do you really believe Martz wouldn't have been pushing to keep him?

I hope you are right.

If the Chiefs are keeping 5 WR's which I think they are...they need to sign one who's cut and Rogers is likely going to be the best one.

Umm, I don't, Martz is an idiot.

Rogers is a ridiculous physical talent and has all the tools to be a Pro Bowl WR. Maybe getting cut will be a reality check for him, and getting him away from Detroit and all his homeboys from school would help him get his career back on track.

We really have nothing to lose and everything to gain by signing him. Gambles like this help teams win championships.

I believe Parker's sig line clearly applies to this statement.

People said the same about Todd Marinovich. And Ryan Leaf.

No way man Jeff Webb and Chris Hannon 4-Life!

I agree with you in all honesty....But we apparently don't need any great physical talents at WR we just need some guys who work hard but really aren't very good.

Ha ha ha, yeah. Sure they do. I'll wait here while you find an example that's comparable.

Hannon and Webb might suck.

Charles Rogers has already removed all doubt that he sucks.

Of course....thats been Carls's philosophy for the past 17 years. Heck, it took him 13 years to finally draft a Franchise RB.

Let's not mention he was playing with Joey Harrington..... Here's a post from a Lions fan on the guy....

Wow, I will not try to hide the fact that I am a Detroit Lions fan, I will cheer for that team until the day I die, but it is just sureal that they have actually cut Charles Rogers. I watched Charles Rogers play high school football, and was a man agmost boys. Then I saw him tear it up at Michigan State, making Highlight reel cathes there. I was very excited when the Lions drafted him #2 overall, behind Carson Palmer mind you back in 2003. Two dirty drugs test later, two seasons out with a collar bone injury and he is gone. What the **** is it with the Lions, only in detroit could Charles Rogers become a bust.

Also the fact that he is from there probably didn't help he had a ton of pressure to be that teams savior.

Nothing made me happier as a kid than watching complete ass Wr's like Lake Dawson.

WAS a ridiculous physical talent. In college. He's shown nothing in the pros.

IF Rogers catches on somewhere else, his "homeboys" will follow him there to mooch off of him. Detroit and his crew aren't the problem. His lack of talent and good attitude is.

Charles Rogers is not the missing link to a SB run......

Off the top of my head, here are some "bad apples" that helped their new team win a championship: Corey Dillon, Keyshawn Johnson, Simeon Rice.

Post Roy Williams awesome stats.....oh that's right he doesn't have them either. Rogers is the one furtherest along into his contract also he's been suspended. But in fairness Roy Williams has also had a ton of injury problems and hasn't been that productive, he's actually more physically talented than Rogers is he's a freak.

Of course you could say Roy has attitude problems too seeing as he and Kevin Jones hate each other.

Everyone thought Rice was a complete scrub bust in Arizona then he went to Tampa and became one of the best players in the league.....
