Free Agency Antics

Carlos Rogers resigns with the Niners.  Okay...  he's adequate.  With the right surrounding cast, he may avoid being exposed - again!  Oh.... you doubt me?  Do you recall Victor Cruz making Rogers look very much less than average? Add Mario Manningham, and the WR/TEs from the Saints and Giants - they exposed Rogers for what he is.  Rogers is a "serviceable"  Corner.  Carlos looks better than he is because of "HAVOC"  Justin Smith and crew.  It is their rushing that enables Roger's improved play.  Take away the HAVOC boys and Rogers returns to being - average.  IMO - SF overpaid.  Hopefully, the team drafts his replacement.

Perrish Cox - a Bronco DB was also signed.  Cox was charged with sexual assault and released by Denver at the end of training camp last year.  Cox was acquitted of the charges.  He's 6'-0" and 200 lbs.

Josh Morgan goes to Washington DC.  Fine!  See ya... wouldn't wanna be ya.  Pfffft!  Besides, Morgan's departure free up #81 for Moss.

I'm still jazzed about the Randy Moss pickup.  Nice!  I wonder if Randy will return to wearing #88 - his college number?   Ask yourself... Moss or Morgan?  Did you know Moss ran a 4.25 forty at his pro workout back in the day?  4.25!  Even if he lost a step, he's still clocking in under 4.5.  If he's lost two steps, he still as fast as the average large wide out.

Moss = big, strong veteran with a desire to win it all.
Morgan = the SF version of the human potato chip.

RB's aside:  I like Tim Tebow.  He's a good young man in the traditional sense of the word.  Goodness is a great virtue.  Tim can offer much to an NFL squad, but his QB skill set is not suited for the modern game. Perhaps his role is not QB... but what about Tight End?  Tim is a big target.  He is elusive and runs well.  He knows the offense.  He can catch and throw.  He can block.  A team could make use of his skills and passion for the game by making this TE option viable.  Why not?  Playing TE and remaining in football may be an option Tim would consider.

The Cox signing is dubious.  I hold strong opinions on players who cannot avoid trouble - particularly assaulting women.  You're a pro football player.  If you cannot get women to pay attention to you - you have other Issues.  Take Roethlisberger... the Rapist.  IMO -  Ben, a two timer offender, should be banned from the NFL.  He did something sexual with the women who persist in accusing him.  Somehow... someway... for reasons unpublished, prosecutors refused to prosecute.  He's guilty of giving the NFL a black eye and continues to act like an arrogant ____.  He's bad for the league, children, and women.
