    Charles Rogers is injury prone. He will be out of this league long before you find out about it. His teammate is WR Roy Williams seems to be following his path. Here are others interesting bust : Carson Palmer and Tereance Newman.

    Williams and Rogers are certainly having troubles, although you wouldn't be picking on Williams if he didn't happen to be on the same team as Rogers. Dumb luck. The Lions are certainly missing them..that's for sure.

    I think it is too early to call Palmer and Newman busts. Palmer is still in his first year (starting), and most QBs in this situation look the same. Newman is having some problems this year, although he looked better yesterday. Since entering the league, he has basically had no safety help due to problems on the other side of the field. He certainly isn't top-of-the-first-round material, but I wouldn't write him off yet.

    Statements like that shows you really dont have a clue. Roy williams is leading all rookies wrs with tds. The man has a twisted ankle lol and hasnt played healthy in 3 games. He sat out 2 of them and still leds the rookie class wr in tds at 5.

    As for charles china doll rogers he is fragile. But have you actually seen him play? The man is a playmaker when he does play. If he is to be a bust its cause of collar bone injury. Ive never heard of players losing their careers to broken collar bones lol. This is why he had a plate inserted this time. So this wont happen again. If you wanna blame anyone for being the bust blame the lions team physicans for giving rogers the wrong advice last year of not opting for collar bone surgery and letting it heal on its own. They are the bust.

    Williams is going ot be a great reciever if he does not have a serious injury, Palmer is playing very well for a first time starter considering his recievers havent met a pass they couldnt drop.

    Rogers career is basically over, still not a bust just cut short due to injury

    I would hardly call Palmer a bust at this point, the mans started 7 freaking game....you must be one of those guys that cant wait 2 minutes for the microwave either....the key to QB development is patience, you must have it....even Roethlisberger will struggle at some point....

    Beef, i agree not every qb can come into the nfl and be a success right out the gate. Usually the transformation from college to the nfl level is 2 years. Carson palmer is gonna have his growing pains and is. Ben roethlisberger is being brought in where he doesnt have to throw alot of footballs. Pitt runs first passes last option works for him. However guys like ben come around once every 10 years. This kid was known in college ( small school) for being clutch and he has 18 games where he hadnt lost a game starting. Scouts said ben biggest asset was big arm and he was very poised. Comparisons to tom brady.

    Bottom line is the jury is out on rogers if the man doesnt break his collar bone again and can stay healthy he is gonna be special. However he has to prove it. Roy 2.0 williams is the real deal.

    Roy williams aka 2.0 reminds me of owens minus the attitude. Big physical wr who has deceptive speed great hands and lots of power.

    Far from a bust
