Official Richard Rodgers Thread

[Brandon494]

Brandon...................do you love both 3rd round picks ?

I'm in love with our 1st and 2nd round picks but I like the potential of both our 3rd round picks. Like everyone else I didn't know much about knew but the more I read and watch the more I like them.

[mraynrand]

Not a question about Rodgers per se, but comparing him to Mackay and other older players.

Are parents just feeding their kids HGH with the vitamins in the morning?

It's the bovine GF in the milk, I tells ya.

I knew that was a bad idea (or good idea for Pro Leagues).

2 career td's tells me he's the anti red zone threat

He's Mr. Rodgers.



The NFL !!!!!! Duh...dropped another one; not used to being a target

[woodbuck27]

This is my favorite pick of the draft so far. I like his production, athletic ability and his drive/focus. He's like Jermichael Finley with a good attitude.

Green Bay Packers draft Cal's Richard Rodgers

By: Jeff Faraudo ...... jfaraudo@bayareanewsgroup.com

This:

** " After making 39 receptions for 608 yards last season '

The Math says: 15.59 Avg. >>> 16 YPC Avg. ...That's good.

" After leaving school a year early to enter the NFL, Rodgers was picked a couple rounds earlier than most draft experts anticipated."

That informs me that Ted Thompson "reached" for this TE prospect.

2 career td's tells me he's the anti red zone threat

Hopefully that had a lot to do with a true freshman starting at QB.

Hey it may work out very well:

Aaron Rodgers can meet him at the airport with.....



"a box of chocolates ".

Then there's this:

" Green Bay hopes he establishes a connection with fellow Cal alumnus Aaron Rodgers (no relation) after the Packers selected the 6-foot-4-inch, 257-pound tight end 98th overall Friday night with a compensatory pick in the third round of the NFL Draft. " Fr. LINK above

" He caught 39 passes for 608 yards and a touchdown as a junior last season. "

Ohh I see.....sure... that one touchdown jumps right out at you. I can see why TT was impressed !



Then again maybe this is TT's thinking

*$%*##!^>>?% He didn't have Aaron passing to him.*$%*##!^>>?%

Uhh but Ted....He also didn't have the defenses he'll face in the NFL at California.

All the same..... A minor detail...to be ignored.

Summing it up:

I can see a two - three season project here for sure.

Aaron and Richard will just need one more "TT Rodgers pick", to become....

Rodgers, Rodgers and RODGERS !

TT loves a challenge as drafting is easy for him. TT just needs to find that third Rodgers ...screw BPA....

that's too easy.

Really? You replying to yourself now in quotes?

I'm having some fun....lighten up.....have a celery stalk.

I want Richard to be a smashing success.

Call up my Mom...place me on report.

I've been a bad ..a very BAD Packer fan. Shame on me for thinking for myself. I've always had that terrible ugly side of me to struggle with.

How could I act so shameful!?

I'm not down with all of TT's picks...shame on me. I'm so bad...a bad bad Packer fan.

I'm so "F' ...ity .."F'...in .."F'... ed Up......"F"..."F" ..."F".

I'm also watching too much Southpark...look at me...I'm "F" ed....I can't stop cursing and posting bad language that doesn't always support the sheep at Packerrats.

What the "F" is wrong with me? I'm so "F" ing disappointed in my behaviour.

I need "F" ing help.

[bobblehead]

I`m confused as to why TT picked this guy. I get the part about picking a TE but just to pick a TE (need) !?!

Does TT burn out after Round Two?

Let's go to a new Draft War Room scene:

Have fun with the draft from Rd. 2 onwards. Simply get some darts and a name chart. Pin it on a wall.

Bring in a bunch of mentally challenged people to toss the darts. It`s like the Special Olympics of NFL Football.

Think of all the NFL analysts that will have to find work at places like Walmart, 7-11's and gas stations.

Have loads of treats on hand...a BIG barbeque to round out the whole process early Sat. evening.

Ohh what fun !

Just off the top of my head. Lang, Sitton, Jolly, Finly, JJones, Bahktiari, Stewart were all "beyond the 2nd round". And I didn't even list the UFA's like Williams and Shields.

[Bossman641]

Most tt picks I don't like end up better than the ones that I do, so Rodgers is destined to be a pro bowl te
