Fat Slob Rogers

Well, again I get vindicated. I never wanted Rogers and wanted to trade him for a high pick three years ago. Then a medium pick two years ago. Then anything last year or cut him. Well, the Browns cut him and that is a GREAT thing. Not a single person on this board or others backed me up on my Rogers assessment. In fact I got belittled everywhere. But I have on many issues. Sometimes, when you can see the way, and the tunnel is presented backward you get attacked.

I feel good again about being forthright and astute and very good in football judgment. Shaun Rogers is just another example

Go Browns, things are looking better

and for all those who peed on my Shaun Rogers opinion I truly look forward to your Kudos for my astute judgment on yet another issue

So you wanted him to fail just to prove your point? No wonder your a stooler fan first.

Hey just be a man and know that you were right. I was not obviously around on this board when you made your prediction but going around and gloating about how you were right and how others belittled you because of your opinion is stupid. Be a man and just be fine with the fact that you were instead of rubbing it in others faces.

This seems to be a common thread with some of the posters on this forum where they need everyone to praise them and say your GUESS was right you are our hero. What kind of a little person needs this type of validations?

[Gips]

Rogers is fat and lazy but nevertheless he can be brutally awesome when he wants to play..

With that said players like rogers that are not motivated to practice on their own and be a functioning part of the team makeup should be cut or traded regardless of how good they are or in rogers case can be on gameday..

We need guys that want to be in cleveland and be part of the new era cleveland browns..

Now, Now....don't try to rewrite history.

I was never against trading him. I was for it as a matter of fact.

I have often said the guy looked more like the guy who cooks my hash browns down at the Waffle House then he did a football player.

I remember the first time I was right about something, I was around 4 years old..

Most of the successful teams in the league know when to let these types of players go.

Get rid of them for a multiple player trade or draft picks and it only makes them better.

But getting to the above average level is harder than staying at or near the top.

Maybe if you go back and read any of your posts on this forum, you'll appreciate the irony of that statement.

do you even know why rogers got cut? you have no idea yet you blame it on something like him being unathletic or even a good football player

he will be one of the first free agents signed this offseason because teams look for guys with his skill set. maybe the cuts had less to do with the talent and more to do with the system and coaching staff coming in eh?

Or because Heckert straight out said that Rodgers refused to practice except on Fridays and the could not get him on the field. Also said Rodgers was unmotivated due to the fact that he always played for losing teams. No one is denying that Rodgers has talent, but it was obvious that he didn't work hard at all and he had zero motivation to try.

And add in from the other thread:

"Heckert said the Browns couldn't move Rogers last year -- release or trade him -- because his $6.9 million salary was guaranteed once he made the final roster of the opening week of the season. That's true of any vested veteran (four years or more experience). "

So the Browns figured having him around for a couple plays a game was better than the nothing they would have had if they had cut him- other than the $6.9 million cap hit- and no other team wanted to pick him up at what he would have to be paid.

actually what you did was combine to completely separate statements

he said rogers was always on the injury report yet managed to play 15 of the 16 games

then he went on to say in a completely different statement that he felt like the fact that rogers knew he was always on a bad team had started to take a toll on him

it had nothing to do with the other previous statement

never once did he mention that rogers was lazy and didnt work hard because he didnt want to play on a bad team

Rich, you've criticized pretty much everything about the Browns,

now you brag about one guy who finally doesn't fit, not even one bit?

How's that Maurice Clarett NFL greatness thing workin out for ya, buddy?

Rogers visits the Redskins, I KNEW IT. WHERE IS THAT POST. LOL!

[Nw220]

If the thing about playing for losing teams is true,why the hell would he go to the Redskins....That tells me hes more about Money than playing for a Championship

I believe that actual quote from the article is "But Heckert indicated the team was weary of Rogers' attitude and unwillingness to practice. Rogers routinely did not practice until Friday, a light preparation day. He was always listed on the injury report with ankle and hip injuries, yet somehow was active for 15 of the 16 games." Sounds more like he was being lazy and unmotivated that fighting through those injuries in order to play on Sundays. Then Heckert says in the article, "Shaun's a different cat," Heckert said. "Shaun's whole thing -- and he's stated a million times -- is that he's never been on a team that's any good. Every team he's ever been on has been bad. Right or wrong, I think it's taken a toll on him."

If he worked hard he would have practiced more last season, he would have gotten more playing time, and there is a good chance that he would still be on the team.
