Rodgers didn’t just find a role with the offense last season. He showed up in big spots. The rookie caught quarterback Aaron Rodgers’ game-winning touchdown pass in the fourth quarter of their playoff win against the Dallas Cowboys. In the NFC title game, he had four catches — on five targets — for three first downs against the Seattle Seahawks’ vaunted secondary.

I've said it myself. The kid can get it done.

“He’s capable of being a top-level talent at the tight end position in the league,” Packers tight ends coach Jerry Fontenot said.

If he turns out to be an average TE I'll be impressed

AARON Rodgers makes any TE a helluva lot better. He makes any WR a helluva lot better.

Richard Rodgers probably tops out as an average TE who should perform in an above average way for the Packers. We MIGHT be slightly better off with him there than with Quarless. For sure, though, we will be MUCH better off with both of them sitting on the bench and 3, 4, or 5 WR packages on the field.

Talent doesn't mean a damn. Maximizing potential is what we want. Finley was a top level talent. That didn't go as well as we hoped.

I just hope he will become a reliable red zone weapon.
We need all the help we can get in the Red Zone.

Good point. On that basis I believe RR will be a better than average and maybe a very good TE. I also believe he'll be better than Q because he runs better routes, has better hands and seems to be better in few clutch situations he's been in.

What I always enjoy is when people can already conclude how good or bad a player is after only their rookie season.

Zero2Cool (22h) : It's like listen, you made 4,201 mocks, no shit.
Zero2Cool (22h) : Cuz during the draft "I had them mocked there!" as if it's amazing.
Zero2Cool (22h) : They're fun to do once in awhile. It's people who think they are "content" that annoy me.

dfosterf (23h) : In my city, they are playing the nimby game, in order to keep some railroad tracks vs. 2 professional sports teams and a concert venue.
dfosterf (23h) : And/Or a city council, of which I haven't seen a good one in a very long time
dfosterf (23h) : That sounds like a Mayor, not a city.

Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Fining them is the goal, per the people who made the rule anyway.
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Still waiting on the kickoff rule changes. Did hear yesterday that the touchback proposal will now be the 30 yard line, not the 35
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Probably speed of game issues with your proposal
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Hopefully the refs don't get in the habit of throwing flags on this
beast (25-Mar) : I think when it comes to Challenges should get two strikes, so unlimited challenges as long as they keep winning them, but 2 wrong then done
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Still subject to the fines etc
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Yes, I should have been more specific. Also, they are now saying it would be a 15 yard penalty. That makes more sense .
beast (25-Mar) : Simply fined in the week to follow
beast (25-Mar) : I agree with one NFL official, it'll probably be like some of the helmets hits, not really called by the refs on the field but simply fined
Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Hip drop is not. Super confusing. Referees job is harder
Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Swivel hip drop is banned
dfosterf (25-Mar) : The hip drop enforcement will be in the form of fines, etc. Not flags
dfosterf (25-Mar) : A major foul will be enforced on the offense if there are offsetting penalties in a change of possession situation
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Teams will receive a 3rd challenge if 1 was successful. Previously, it took 2
