Rogers elevated to Active Roster [Merge]

[CanuckColt]

THANK GOODNESS.  Now this player will save this franchise from its losing ways.  He will revolutionize the WR position and will become the Colts greatest WR, even more so the greatest WR the NFL has ever seen!!

 

Now that all you Rodgers fans have gotten your wish, lets see if reality meets up with your dreams of him.

All we are expecting is a few catches per game that move the chains.

[Narcosys]

Meh. As long as he comes down with it i don't care. It doesn't seem to hamper his ability to generate YAC.

 

ya but that was college.  Lets see how it translates into the pros.  I see him getting turned inside out on those kinds of catches.

Oh no no no.  Dont come in here and downplay how the Rogers fans have been acting over him.  The overall consensus is that he is gonna be our Calvin Johnson.  (Yes, i saw that comparison).  Not that hes just gonna catch a few balls and move the chains every now and then.  Nope...not lettin you off the hook on that.

Well if it's any consolation, he rarely ever does it. This is coming from someone who watched him a lot in college. But i agree, he doesn't need to do that. Especially considering how good his hands are.

"Turned inside out"

How many CB's in the NFL can actually hit? Ain't too many CB's out here about that life

[CanuckColt]

Rogers may not even see the field if Griff is healthy and Bey makes a few catches.

...but they should try to get him a few receptions just to 'get his feet wet'.

He'll see the field. You don't elevate a WR just to have him sit. I believe we're holding auditions for the "Reggie Wayne replacement" sweepstakes.

Sign a WR to the active roster & to the practice squad in the same day? We're serious about finding another WR other than Ty Hilton who's doing it by himself at the moment

[GoColts8818]

Well if he lives up to the legend fans have already made him we are set!

 

I am pulling for the kid heaven knows we could use the help but the bar some fans have set for him is a little high IMO.

Youre forgetting about Linebackers.

[bestQBever]

i rather brazil over whalen , 

either one would be fine. I just said whalen because he has more chemistry with luck.

[GoColts8818]

I think it has more to do with they look at Brazil as an outside guy and Whalen as a slot guy.  Just by watching how they play.  When Brazil is in there he's on the outside.  He's more of TY's or DHB's back up than he is Whalen's.  Don't get me wrong I think he could Whalen's spot if asked to do it but right now it doesn't look like he's being asked to do it.

We got a bad a over here. He's not lettin is of the hook. We r just excited for this kid. We want him to do good

[Warhorse]

Well, welcome to the team, Mr Rogers. We hope this becomes your neighborhood.

 

However, fans might want to slow the "cut DHB" talk, regardless of Mr Rogers success or failure. WR depth is a serous problem for our team right now and any WR who knows the playbook......especially a WR that can block in the run game and can stretch defenses with their presence....is worth gold.

[Crunked]

DHB will be on the turf on the sideline, they tried to throw him on the bench but he missed....

I don't think anyone is saying contrary. I think the point was more the principal of making loud, abrasive brash comments and then backing away from them. 

 

I would say there wouldn't be anyone here who will be wanting him to fail, but then again some Gameday threads it seems people positively revel in the failings of TRich and DHB.

 

This used to be such a good neighborhood.

That's the one thing I detest on this forum, how so called fans single out a player and try to make him the scapegoat. Some people write things that they wouldn't be ignorant enough to say out loud. At least I hope that's the case.

[backshoulderfade]

Our * team cohesion is aweful. Ohr cohesiveness as a team is to blame for the rams game!

[MIColtsFan]

Hopefully Reggie can convince him to put in the time and effort needed. Coach the lazy right out of him. 

[Old Colt]

Now cut David Reed

Please do......  how does he still have the job returning kick offs? he takes it 7 yds deep and runs it out to the 7 yd line.. Offense is handcuffed from the beginning.... ALL SEASON he has done this....Maybe Rogers can take this job too!

[GOHOOSIERS]

It'd be interesting to know how many 'individuals' hollerin for Rogers are also Cornerbackites. The "All sizzle and no steak" crowd.

 

Anyway, without an Oline, we're in for some trouble. The Rams Dline just manraped the Colts and everyone is looking at a WR.

Yeah, the oline is getting shoved around.. so we shouldn't acknowledge the Rogers move? Half the posts in this thread are negative towards some guy we have never seen take a snap for us. What do you care if some fans get excited about a new WR?

 

I'm here everyday; scrolling through threads.  You dudes with the big post counts are mostly just bullies around here.  Doing 1 sentence sarcastic replies so much its hard to tell if some of you like the team or just like pointing out all the flaws so you can say "told ya so" after something bad happens.  I love this team.  I hate the know-it-all "fans" who talk down to other fans.

[Valpo2004]

I have my doubts but I hope Rodgers goes out there and puts up a big game and is everything everyone said he could be and more.

 

I just have my doubts though, you don't leave a player like that on the practice squad in favor of David Reed.  

 

But maybe he's showing it in practice now.

No, you have to realize that people with big post counts have been here for longer than a cup of coffee. We have seen countless numbers of illogical pointless posts. We someone posts something ridiculous they get called on it. No one is here to be a bully, and people with a lot of posts aren't above being called out either.

 

I don't think anyone takes issue with someone being excited about a new player, but when people make ludicrous proclamations about guys who have done nothing it gets annoying. If you stick around for a while you will get it.

 

Have fun and post to your hearts content. If you have an opinion and you can make a good argument as to why it's a good opinion you should have nothing to worry about.

True people have called him a Julio Jones clone so we will see.  

 

But I will say if he makes a few catches and moves the chains a few times that alone means he's already better then DHB.

[SteelCityColt]

I guess human cloning still has a ways to go then  

 

Seems like the summary on him is that he has all the physical tools but the mental and maturity sides are lacking. 

[csmopar]

I'm curious to see how he does myself. But watch him drop the ball once and then the cut Rogers threads will start....

[Coltsfanman1953]

Do you think that knowing the Rogers was called up will make DHB maybe play better knowing his possible replacement is on the roster? One can only hope.

[pgt_rob]

I really hope he see's the field and does well. A lot of "experts" are saying him and Griff will alternate so he won't see much field. But all the fans here say he's gonna be #2 receiver. We shall see...

If he can somehow go from the ps to the #2 wr I would be shocked! It would be awesome and a great story but we have a better chance at getting rid of obamacrap!

I was wondering where you have been.  I have missed your pointless posts that only try to instigate things. 

[markabrown96]

I will be happy if he catches more than 1 pass

[chrisfarley]

no more moving parts until the o-line is fixed

[swflacoltsfans]

I just voted for him in the pro bowl balloting. 

[AntonMcG]

Yes, because I am the one coming into a thread to spout sarcastic shots (and not even funny sarcasm) at people who get excited about a talented young player. The irony lies at you over reaction to a similar sarcastic post just several days ago.

 

I have not heard one post saying Rogers would be the 'saviour', some people have just over reacted to his huge upside.

 

Good thing you are here make sure people "don't get off the hook" when Rogers doesn't get 1000 yards in the 7 games remaining.

The guy should get a chance to show something on the field.  

 

Reggie is out and DHB can't catch. 

 

Honestly you could pull DHB and put Rodgers in and it probably couldn't hurt us.

You're not a real poster per se. You're another one of our already established posters. I don't know why but I see it on this forum all of the time. I will now refer to this behavior as being an "Incognito".

[Le Neon]

At this point I'm buying in. Hope he proves my cynicism was foolish.

[throwing BBZ]

why not.png

 

 So agree. Reed isn`t our future, and we Have To find Playmakers Now.

 Less DHB and No Reed.  GL to him.

[lollygagger8]
