So, you're saying combine numbers don't matter?

I'm not sure why Finley ran so poor there. He was clearly faster than Rodgers could ever dream of being. Will have to look into why his 40 time was so poor.

EDIT: It was kind of fun reading this old Texas Longhorn's forum thread on his combine performance. Finley was pretty much what these guys said he was. Said it looked like JF had no clue how to run a 40 and was not prepared or into it at all.

Watch him run the 40...looked like he was jogging the majority of it.

RR is a fine player, and he's going to help this offense be successful.

I think Finley had a higher ceiling, but he was always so inconsistent. RR is young so the jury is still way out there, but I think he will be a good player. If he can become a consistent chain mover and red zone threat he could easily eclipse Finley's injury shortened legacy.

Richard Rodgers is a marginal NFL TE but because he plays for the Packers he looks like Shannon Sharpe.

These ratings I see of our players is very similar to how guys rate women after they've been drinking all night. Those ratings are way off.

Richard Rodgers possesses no outstanding qualities...he's an average TE in a league filled with them. I want to know why he's somehow better than an average TE other than the fact he plays for Green Bay?

The only reason you speak of him as an afterthought is because you didn't want to draft him. Our GM has a great track record of drafting pass catchers in the second and third round. Why would I doubt him before giving the kid a chance to play?

Meanwhile, the hype train on this kid rolls on for no other reason other than he's a Green Bay Packer. Now, despite of what we've seen last year, you have posted more of what I'm talking about by saying because our GM has a good track record. Yup, true. That has nothing to do with what we saw last year. Past results also don't guarantee future success. Finley and Rodgers being drafted in the same round has nothing to do with anything.

What is it that you personally have seen that has you excited in the least? What? There's nothing there but romanti fanticism that this guy is a high Packers draft pick.
