Sorry. He was talking directly to him as Rock to build on because the conversation was directed at Peter your view in my humble opinion is wrong.
Nope...Jesus would have said 'you' instead of 'this'...
Besides, it is clear in the scriptures that the church was built upon all the apostles, not just Peter, with Jesus as the Chief Foundation stone, the Rock...
