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.
Why is Jerry Kramer not in the Hall of Fame?

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