JSO article: Rookie Rodgers hasn't caught on

[Kiwon]

Cory Rodgers' problems catching the ball makes me appreciate Antonio Chapman's development all the more.

Re: JSO article: Rookie Rodgers hasn't caught on

"I have no regrets," Rodgers said. "This is my first training camp and I wasn't expecting to come out here and be the most dazzling. People don't get to come in as rookies and get to have quick impact like Greg Jennings. I'm just here waiting for an opportunity."

Did Greg Jennings come in as a rookie and get to have a quick impact like Greg Jennings? This comment makes no sense.

How many opportunities would he like? The Packers wanted to hand him the returner job, and he's bobbled it away.

Apparently his ball handling skills are exceeded only by his grasp of common logic and the English language.

If he doesn't get his act together soon, he will find himself in the unemployment line.

did he have this dropping problem in college? i never remember hearing anything about it.

if he didn't, then maybe its just due to rookie gitters and it should go away in time.

if it is something he had a problem with, then shame on TT for taking him to be our return guy when he has problems even getting the ball

this was the big question mark for me out of this draft. it just didn't make sense to pick another wr right there. the one thing i could buy was that we picked him to be our return guy, but if he has troubles with that then it was a bad pick

but time will tell

McGinn had a quote from a scout that said he was inconsistent and predicted trouble. But it seemed a lone voice at the time.

More troubling (at that time) was the switching of positions.

What switching of position?

May have been discussing the switching of how Rodgers fields the ball

[Patler]

At this point I wish they would let him just to catch the thing anyway he can. I would really like to see him actually run with the ball after catching it!

Honestly, taking Rodgers in round 4 really surprised me; I was excited about getting a special teams return guru until I started reading about his 4.59 speed, which is nothing special for the NFL....and the fact that he was not too developed as a WR. Didn't really read comments about how he plays faster and when Ahmad Carroll caught him from well behind it was obvious the guy is probably not going to run away from anybody.

The pick still reminds me of Joey Jamison, Wolf's fifth round special team blunder.

Re: Rodgers must concentrate on just being a receiver

Take away his return responsibilities and let him just focus on being a receiver.

The unfortunate thing is Craig Bragg looks like he lost weight making him look very fast and explosive as da bears return man.

Ouch

I was really feeling that Bragg was going to be OK for us.He wasn't a bad player in College but.... It's maybe the pressure of "the NFL" and Rookie pressure.

I'll have to look in... see how he's doing with da Bears.

PACKERS ! FAITH FANS !!

Yea. Maybe that. Give him every chance over the next couple of weeks.
