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.

TheKanataThrilla (now) : Getting Carter and Nolan Smith in the first round in 2023 was pretty darn good

Mucky Tundra (8m) : for some reason i'm thinking of a draft where the Eagles where in the mid 20s and a top player fell all the way to them

TheKanataThrilla (9m) : I think so. I would need to look it up. Think it may have been Carolina's pick.

Mucky Tundra (9m) : i'm not sure who i'm thinking of now

Mucky Tundra (9m) : oh fuck me i messed that up

Zero2Cool (10m) : Jordan Davis was 13th overall

Zero2Cool (10m) : Carter was 9th overall

Zero2Cool (10m) : Eagles had 15th and 10th selections, moved to 13 and 9 to get Davis and Carter back to back

Zero2Cool (12m) : Eagles traded up for Carter, didn't they?

Mucky Tundra (21m) : Obviously he was a huge risk but getting a top 5 talent on the dline in the mid 20s is fortuitous

Mucky Tundra (22m) : Jalen Carter falling into their lap certainly helps

TheKanataThrilla (24m) : And we could only wish to have this type of D

TheKanataThrilla (25m) : It's not like Philly has had low draft picks, but has managed to get themselves a top notch pass rush. We spend so much draft capital of D

packerfanoutwest (26m) : another crap halftime show

TheKanataThrilla (27m) : I think it is over, but then I think of Atlanta and want Philly to go in with the same intensity in the second half

Mucky Tundra (35m) : And with a Pass Rush that might as well be on a milk cartoon and no Jaire

Martha Careful (36m) : I cant help but feel good about how well the Packers D played in Philly during the playoffs

Mucky Tundra (46m) : this game is over

Mucky Tundra (50m) : This might be the kill shot here

Mucky Tundra (1h) : oh that's such a bad penalty for KC after getting the 3rd down stop

TheKanataThrilla (1h) : Philly DL has come to play

TheKanataThrilla (1h) : Ceoper DeJean with the INT scored...bad memories of draft night

Mucky Tundra (1h) : ok scratch that

Mucky Tundra (1h) : Game feels like last years Super Bowl: 49ers started off in control, moved the ball well but didn't have much of a lead to show for it

TheKanataThrilla (1h) : KC jumped and they call it on Eagles. WTF refs

TheKanataThrilla (1h) : If he was offside why did you let him pop the QB?

TheKanataThrilla (1h) : I like that Eagles are controlling time of possession so far.

Mucky Tundra (1h) : If the Eagles are going to win, this is how they do it: jump all over the Chiefs and don't let it turn into a close one

TheKanataThrilla (1h) : Bad throw created that penalty.

TheKanataThrilla (1h) : Amazed Philly got that hit to the helmet call.

packerfanoutwest (2h) : refs just called an OPI,,,bullshit

dhazer (2h) : final score Chefs 24 Eagles 21 Refs 3

Mucky Tundra (4h) : feels like it hurts everyone but starters

Mucky Tundra (4h) : *cut down on snaps that

Mucky Tundra (4h) : beast, no not at all. Just seems counterproductive to cut down on snaps to help back ups get playing time and get potential money after cuts

Zero2Cool (6h) : So, Jets tell Rodgers they're moving on? QB2 for Packers haha

Zero2Cool (6h) : Hey, I'm not saying it's the great idea. I'm saying, it's what I think will happen.

beast (6h) : You think they give a crap enough about bubble guys to make rules for them?

Mucky Tundra (7h) : So games that will be even *more* sloppy the first two or three weeks of the season?

Zero2Cool (10h) : I think you can figure most starters won't be playing either of the two games at all.

Mucky Tundra (23h) : is 2 preseason games enough for bubble guys to make a mark?

packerfanoutwest (8-Feb) : true.forgot about that

Zero2Cool (8-Feb) : Unless they reduce preseason from three to two games.

packerfanoutwest (8-Feb) : If Goodell allows an 18 game season, there will be a SB on Valentines Day

Zero2Cool (8-Feb) : Perfect football player. - Ron Wolf on Sharpe

Zero2Cool (8-Feb) : Sharpe didn't celebrate TD's ... crazy I didn't realize it back then

Martha Careful (7-Feb) : Congratulations Sterling Sharpe

Mucky Tundra (7-Feb) : beast, you didn't miss much with that one. Raiders didn't update their play calls, audibles etc so the Bucs D steamrolled

buckeyepackfan (6-Feb) : That was quick, one thing Jordan said was he doesn't agree with Josh Jacobs, that the Packers need to go get a proven #1 wr
