Alshon Jeffery/DaRick Rogers

They are very similar with their physical abilities.  I think we need to use Rogers more like the Bears use Jeffery.  They are both physical receivers with good size and enough speed to stretch the field and both can high point a jump ball.  

as long as pep is our OC we are not gonna use rogers like the bears use jeffery...

Physically, the two are very similar...

 

But here's some food for thought.

 

Jeffrey underachieved in college.    For a while he was viewed as having 1st round talent....    his personal issues took him down to the 2nd round.

 

Rogers?     Viewed for a while with 2nd round talent....    and ultimately went undrafted by every team in the NFL.

 

Grabbed as a FA by Buffalo,  and couldn't stay on that roster through training camp.

 

Eventually,  he comes to the Colts, where it's taken him this long to earn his way onto the roster and seeing actual game action.

 

This is just another way of saying Roger may have a LOT of talent...   but he's got other issues to deal with as well.

 

Just sayin......

    • You are missing out a rather LARGE piece of the puzzle in your factoring here. We had last season's win numbers with GARDNER FREAKING MINSHEW at QB practically the whole season. Love the guy and what he did for us last season, but he isn't exactly a world beater at the QB position. AR brings such a different dynamic to this offense and teamm, Shane is going to be chomping at the bit to get started this season. The sample size we saw from AR last season was small, but it was definitely encouraging - especially considering we were all expecting him to be much more raw and inaccuarte. He basically red-shirted last year, learning the NFL game and in Steichen's ear the whole time, while learning the playbook inside out.  Our team has fundamentally stayed the same as last season, which damn near won the AFC South with Gardner at QB for the love of god. Now we add AR to that mix, as well as some very interesting additions in Mitchell and Latu who could have very meaningful impacts. The fact that we are so under the radar is almost laughable - AFC South isnt going to know what hit it. 
    • Great points!  I would assume the Irsay’s would conduct the interviews. If Steichen is given more control he would as well or the new GM could decide his fate like Ballard did with Pagano. Several ways it can go and we are a few years away from it even happening so who really knows. I’m hoping none of it matters and the team becomes a true contender and this discussion is merely killing time. 
    • I would say "hire the best who's available for the job". If all the good / great GM candidates are gone, you're stuck hiring someone like Grigson (or maybe someone from this forum).   I often wonder, who's the best candidate to hire for an impossible job? Someone who can make the impossible, possible?
    • I agree.  Hire who’s best for the job.  But that doesn’t mean the guy who is easiest is automatically the wrong choice.  Easiest can also mean best.   It depends on your perspective.  
    • I’m in, can’t believe how fast this year is going.
