So uh guys make up your mind.

:bong: Nice false choice. Just because I don't want your favorite lazy walking-wounded pothead, doesn't mean I'm averse to actually bringing in a player with talent.

That is painfully bad analysis. Corey Dillon was a pro-bowler, for chrissake, as was Keyshawn Johnson. None of them were potheads, and none of them missed entire seasons due to chronic injury. Try again.

If that's the case, then why haven't we seen Sylvester Morris in a Chiefs uniform lately?

Blowing out your knee and not being able to run anymore is a little different than breaking your collarbone.

You're totally missing the point.

It's not that anyone doesn't want to upgrade players. It's that people don't think that an injury-prone pothead bust is an upgrade.

If 50+ sacks in 5 years is a bust, I hope Tamba Hali is a massive bust. I don't really care what people "think", that's not a bust.

Chris Horn has better career stats than Charles Rogers, plays special teams, and isn't a reefer.

Yes, I would rather him than Rogers. I guess I'm and idiot

IIRC,

The Patriots had won the SB the year before Dillon. They won 2 more just because of his presence? Doubtful. They were a great TEAM, with and without him.

The Bucs were in the NFC title game the year before Key, Rice.

You're speaking of teams that were playoff/SB contenders every year.

The Chiefs do not fall into that category.

Well atleast you know........I guess people don't like talent around here. Like I said before if we were set at WR I wouldn't be for this but we need help at the position.

Of course. Charles Rogers has shown so much talent at the NFL level. How could we ever have doubted him?

Thank you, Captain Obvious.

But, I think some of these guys are making the point not that he's a bad apple, but he's not been productive.

IMO, that argument is sillier than the argument that he is a bad apple.

I will be the first to say that his NFL career thus far has been a huge disappointment. But the guy was an absolute monster in college and I simply don't believe all his talent has just disappeared. He has elite size, elite speed, elite hands....physically he's everything you look for in a top shelf WR. Who knows if he can ever put it all together and become a great WR, but what do we have to lose signing him to a one year deal?

You keep saying Rogers has talent.

Where is it? Is it hiding? Can Herm Edwards be the guy to find that talent?

Mecca 09-02-2006 02:41 PM

That's the thing we have 0 to lose in signing him yet some people don't want him anyway. That would be like someone handing you a bunch of free lottery tickets and you going "I don't want them pieces of shit won't get anything anyway"

He was taken second overall, what more do you want?

Free? Rogers is going to play for free? Hell, bring him on.

Ryan Leaf had all those crazy physical skills too. That is far from a silly argument. There's a lot more to playing football than having great physical skills. I said I'm all for bringing him in for a workout to see what he looks like, I don't know what more you could ask for. I don't think we should blindly sign him, but he's worth a look. Doesn't mean he'll amount to anything, but there's a big difference from "can't hurt" to "championship move".
