Here's an excellent article on the subject, which even quotes several prominent Evangelical Protestants in favor of the fact that Jesus' reference to "this Rock" is directed specifically to Peter:
"The very tradition, teaching, & faith of the Catholic Church from the beginning was preached by the Apostles & preserved by the Fathers. On this the Church was founded..." ~ St. Athanasius (4th cent.)
Psalm 118:22
The stone which the builders rejected Has become the chief cornerstone.
Matthew 21:42
Jesus said to them, “Have you never read in the Scriptures: ‘The stone which the builders rejected Has become the chief cornerstone. This was the LORD’s doing, And it is marvelous in our eyes’?
Mark 12:10
Have you not even read this Scripture: ‘The stone which the builders rejected Has become the chief cornerstone.
Luke 20:17
Then He looked at them and said, “What then is this that is written: ‘The stone which the builders rejected Has become the chief cornerstone’?
Acts 4:11
This is the ‘stone which was rejected by you builders, which has become the chief cornerstone.’
1 Peter 2:6
Therefore it is also contained in the Scripture, “Behold, I lay in Zion A chief cornerstone, elect, precious, And he who believes on Him will by no means be put to shame.”
1 Peter 2:7
Therefore, to you who believe, He is precious; but to those who are disobedient, “The stone which the builders rejected Has become the chief cornerstone,”
He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose.

Already directly refuted in Post #3 (the second part of your statement, that is).

Already categorically refuted in Post #2 above. Moving on...
