Losing Da'Rick hurts, just b/c of his talent & the element he brought to our offense. W/ him, JH11, & CP we would have been unstoppable on offense. No doubt he was a cancer on the team & caused a lot of trouble, sometimes you take that chance to win ball games (see Terrell Owens). I was really starting to believe that Rogers had turned the corner & was getting more mature. I thought for sure he saw the $ & knew he had to keep his head on straight for a few more months but I guess I was wrong.
I do believe this helps our team chemistry, we need the young guys to step up big. We need CP to be all he is hyped up to be, we need JH11 to be the guy he was before the ACL tear, & we now desperately need out running game to be much improved. If that happens I still think we can win 8-9 games. I was predicting 9-3 or 10-2 before but I wouldn't be surprised if the loss of Rogers isn't a 2 game swing for us (8-4 or 7-5).
